I am a dragon! Help me! (TOME 4 of the TIAMAT'S WARS SERIE)

A SHRINE CHAPEL FOR A DRAGON

The children did not settle in the inn but in the cave around the fire and especially under my wings.

I had the impression of brooding. To love and be loved is the most beautiful thing in the world.

It was soft and caulked in my cave. The light was given by the fire and the embers.

The shadows made by the fire on my back spikes made saws and garlands move on the stony ceiling and every night it was the same comedy :

They settled in the inn or the tower and then Emilie came, sucking her thumb in her mouth and with her sheepskin and then she slipped between my body and the wing and then it was Aurora and then the boys followed.

There were 12 of us and when there was no more room on the left, it was on the right. or in the curvature of my tail. Then one day when it was windy, we couldn't hear the voices well and we snored all together...

And,.. the door opened slowly...

Juliette saw the children sleeping on the edge of the fire next to a big black mass that had escaped under skins and children on it.

Then he was followed by Henri and the padre and an escort. In the corridor and the tower, the weapons were shining and the armors sparkled on their easel.

They sat down by the fire in silence so as not to wake everyone.

Juliette: "Aurélie, Aurélie, are you okay? I'm glad you're better. Have you seen Marc?

We have to thank him and compensate him for taking care of you."

Aurélie wakes u slowly... half asleep...

Aurélie :"Marc is here and he is sleeping. Don't wake him up or he will scold us."

Juliette :"And Marc is nice to you?"

Aurélie and the other children : "Yes, he is very nice to us. He is our daddy now. He gives us food and teaches us to read and count."

"Sleep with us" answered the adult.

"Tomorrow we will try to make bread with Marc and he will make us cakes when we have milk. He will try to catch cows so that we have milk and cheese."

Juliette: "But Emilie, I know you, you were captured by the black dragon in the mine village!"

Emilie: "Yes, too bad for Daniel. Marc arrived a few seconds too late.

And he killed the bad dragon! He freed us, washed us, healed our wounds with his big tongue and brought us back here.

As we had nowhere to go we stayed with him and he took care of us."

Padre:" Good evening, my little one. Mark is very good at killing a dragon! Nobody has succeeded except for dragon hunters, but few survive and there are not enough of them.

We will celebrate in the village of Marc for his victory when we have the proof!"

Marc brought his skin and head back ..

Children :"It dries on the tower but we will see it tomorrow morning.

There is bread here, and honey, and water and eggs. We have a lot of meat if you want some."

"It will not be refused".

Then the 4 adults sat down near a torch and a brazier and tasted a deserved meal.

Me, through the fire, I did not move and I observed, my eyes almost closed but alert.

They settled down, leaning against my tail, buried by the skins.
