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

"That's my problem...not yours.."

I was getting a lot of work done. I couldn't feel my paws or my head, there were so many repairs to do and then... this... Darkia.... But.... what does she care!

Because of her I was "reprimanded" for the first time by mother... like two kids who hate each other...

I'm going to make her pay for this insult! I make a mental note to put her on my list of things to punish...

I knew it... I could feel it... I was being spied on and most of all, I could feel her murderous aura, just waiting for a moment of weakness to fall on me... as if I had nothing else to do...

GRRRR.

I had restored the lower plateau at the edge of the lava lake, but all the other parts had collapsed, and the mountain was nothing but a pile of rocks and molten lava.

By going higher, I risked arriving in broad daylight.

And it was not worth it anymore. Everything was in pieces... All my lab, my memories, my things, the "kitchen" and my human apartments. There was absolutely nothing left...

GRRR.

Then I turned around violently.

"I KNOW YOU'RE THERE TO SPY ON ME.... IT'S NICE, ISN'T IT????? TO SEE THAT I HAVE NOTHING!!!"

The sphere in the dark opened its eyes.

Darkia: "You ungrateful runt.... who do you think you are?"

Rage and anger rose in me and, I had that in common with the comic book character Hulk from my childhood: Anger increased my strength tenfold but I still had the physical memory of crushing Enka... It had really hurt.

"Yes.. uh thanks for healing me...."

Darkia: "There is now nothing holding me back..."

"Are you deaf or what??? You heard me right mother!!! The mission first!! we'll settle the score later... I know you don't want to repeat the compression..."

I held back from insulting her.

I knew that she mastered space and dimensions to be here while I managed the gravitational forces. The mastery of time being forbidden to us...

"First of all... how did you end up here?"

Darkia: "I never talk to my prey..."

I knew her weaknesses and I used to preach the false to know the true. But I was wary. This creature was not only a dragon...I felt it, I knew it and my knowledge of medicine and neurology was not for nothing.

"We must put our differences aside..."

The dragoness didn't answer.., obviously annoyed..

"Darkia... I don't know but I'm sure I've seen you somewhere before... My memory is very powerful..."

"Who gave you permission to be on first-name terms with me? If you address me, it's "Your Majesty!"

I had a hard to hide grin on my face and the creature went crazy.

It opened its mouth, revealing rows and rows of teeth, but I had reacted by instinct too and it received a terrible blow to the jaw, which pulled it out of its black sphere and it went to smash against the wall opposite the lava lake.

I heard a squeak of pain.

I had impregnated my tail with gravitons and then I had forgotten "on purpose".

She wanted to stand up but I increased the gravitational force on her leg, pinning her down.

She struggled like an eel and was about to turn around and bite.
