A dragon devouring faeries (TOME 15 of the TIAMAT'S WARS SERIE)

The elves reflect

As usual, the humans reproduced the same mistakes...

The ships could be separated in the original configurations,

The Russians kept their shuttle with the US civilian shuttle and some Australians.

The Europeans, English, Commonwealth and the royal family decided to go to England and join their super Bunker at the end of the world.

The Chinese hesitated and then decided their fate.

Some Japanese joined the French and Canadians and opted to stay with the Russians and US.

The rest of the world being too wild, they decided to follow Yuri, the Americans too. The Russians were well known to the Americans and their knowledge of rockets and thrusters allowed this small group of castaways to survive the apocalypse.

Moreover, their constant confrontations made them like a family and the Americans, lost without a government, turned to the strong man of the situation. The descendant of the Romanovs!

After a settlement and development, it was established that the USA would take back their country and the whole South of America,

The Russians would take back Alaska and Central America.

The Canadians and the French would take back their country, but after long discussions, all this was meaningless and the nation states had to stop.

Everyone would arrive in Seattle, housed and protected, and everyone would participate in the development and reconstruction of a continental country.

The conquests being of another age, the English and the Chinese were responsible for the reconstruction of their part of the world, each one being free to come and go in the 3 zones.

The construction sites that awaited the people were unthinkable and humanity as we knew it no longer existed. It was a new beginning.

But their immediate goal was to survive!

Food supplies were not infinite.

Meanwhile, in Alinor, King Phileas was with the generals and in front of him, shrapnel and bullets were on a table, under the wise guidance of Alter-Magus, a miracle worker.

Next to them, a young fairy, Orphea wanted to touch one of the shards, and it burned the tip of her thumb a little and she immediately dropped the piece.

Orphea: "This is terrible! It is pure iron and it is as if enchanted with an unknown, unholy, necromantic magic."

Alter-Magus: "Our alchemists have concluded that this is the metal of death, described by the ancients as iron, that infamous metal that channels energy, undermines it and even swallows lightning!"

King Phileas: "What do we know about these weapons?"

Orphea: "They pierce our shields, completely ignoring our magic. Yet magic, shields, roots, walls of stone, fire and the elements hold all material! Even unholy gold but iron overrides all!"

Alter-Magus :" We fixed a point on an arrow of a powerful and enchanted bow, the point absorbed part of the power without contact and it pierced like butter our shields, armor and in the body, the wounds are terrible. The tissues burn, twist, melt and worse, the blood in contact with the fragment in the wound is as if poisoned and will ravage the rest of the body. The dragon is truly an abominable monster. Reports tell us that it slaughters guards and captures any magical creature and eats them or offers them as a sacrifice to its demons. If the dwarves are allied with the dragon, we are leading our brave elves and warriors to a gruesome death. Worse, all those who were captured never reappeared, even those who died on the battlefield before their capture.
