It's night, it's summer and I can hear all the wildlife. It's scary.

I look at my body and it's a dragon! I have spikes everywhere!

I panic and I go back into the cave and I come out and I'm always in the same place!

I scream! ERIC! FRED? EDDY? guys, it's a good joke! but only the rain echoes back to me.

I take shelter in the cave and I touch my body to discover it.

A terrible jaw, teeth like swords, 11 horns and every vertebra that comes out like spears. I'm scaled from head to paws and my tail ends in a sword and a sting. my arms are winged and bones stretch a membrane. I must be between 7 and 9 meters long and the only thing I can do is to wait for daybreak, in the shelter of the cave. I cry so much that I fall asleep and I am awakened by the noise of the birds at daybreak.

The next morning, the entrance of the cave is plunged in the morning softness. Insects buzz and the sound of the stream adds to the morning symphony.

The sun pierces the fir trees near the cave and the smell of humus and fir needles invade the atmosphere.

I opened one eye, then the other and looked and found that I had not dreamed. I was indeed a grey/white dragon with black lines.

I felt inside me, the power and strength of nature. My senses were amplified, multiplied tenfold, but I was terrified.

I looked everywhere and I saw no trace of the path or the cars. I saw nothing. Forest as far as the eye could see.

I heard the stream and there are often paths along the streams that lead somewhere.

In order not to get lost, I put stones on the ground with an arrow indicating my direction.

Then I walked along the creek.

It was very small, a few tens of centimeters at the widest and the water was crystal clear. I was thirsty and I ventured to drink and hmmm, as the water was good and fresh, without chlorine or additives, it was clean and natural. I followed the stream and then it came into a larger one, and I saw fish. Lots of fish.

GROWL

Did my stomach do that?

Hunger

Instinct

My tail hit the water and 3 fish were stunned.

The day before, I was waiting for my friends for a role-playing game at Chassepierre but the rain and the storm made me take shelter at the entrance of a cave but the mud was slippery and I fell into a hole I hadn't seen.

Now I am in the body of a giant and ferocious beast and I am walking along the stream swallowing fish.

I find an old ruin and I settle in it for lack of a cave. Maybe some good souls can help me adapt or find a way to get home! Sniff.

It's an old fortified village with a tower but everything has been destroyed by the dragons it seems!

I go inside and explore and under the tower a huge room still intact and that's where I will settle down. There is a stream, pastures, not too much traffic and not too far from the cave where I appeared. With my G, which is all that is left of my world, I still have a signal but I can't call or text. Just the internet still going by... Weird.

Quick. download an encyclopedia before it cuts off and some technique books for later! Electricity, applications, general mechanics, medicine and Universalis. I'll fill in later. Yes, more surgery, pharmacy and arts and crafts... Basically everything I don't know yet.

Shit, the memory is full.

Too bad, I keep a few comics online.

Oh no! the comm is off...

The comics couldn't be loaded... What's going to happen to me???

MOTHER!!!!
