End of line

We avoided the cities and I flew as best I could, but the hot air pushed me up and I held Mom's tail between my teeth. I had tied a piece of cloth around it so as not to pinch it and I was able to keep up with the rhythm.

I copied her every move and learned a lot, how to feel the whirlwinds and "see" the wind. Then I closed my eyes and felt the flows and, like a radar, I felt the masses of dense and more fluid air.

Very informative! Then the map would draw itself in my head and I would memorize the places and passages.

Mom said to me, "You have to find any cave to hide.

Imagine if we were to hunt you down in the opposite direction? What are you going to do?

Where are you going to go?

And in the desert, what should we do?

So, answer me, Ruby!

"Uh, in the desert, you have to get down on the ground, fly as low as possible so that people will see you less and use the terrain.

Even if it means running away into the sand deep down....

Avoid oases, they are all visited.

For the mountains, it is necessary to find lost crevasses among the crevasses.

For caves, always an emergency exit. A dead end is a death trap.

Never a cave that overlooks the void or wide open spaces. They could observe you through binoculars.

Mom, have you ever seen other dragons, like Dad? Oh, there must be four centuries ago...

One day he left and I never saw him again... I looked for his trace but it was lost in the desert in China... I just smelled that he was wounded by Shaolin monks, kung fu masters. It is said to have been sealed under a stone or in an alcohol jar by wise men or masters. But all that's gone.

I cried a lot but he beat me often and was at least a third over my height. He tired and exhausted me.

At every intercourse I was covered with injuries and bites to varying degrees. In the end, I couldn't fly anymore but I couldn't have a child faster than my body allowed.

His name was Ragnar the Black. A monster of unprecedented violence.

He would raze cities and villages when the colour of the sky did not suit him.

He put a whole empire in search of him... It amused him... I think he fertilized my eggs for the rest of my life...

What if I want a baby?

mmMMM. We'll have to find another dragon already, but if not, there are giant monitors in Australia that are 10 meters long... there are more.

Otherwise, if you can't find it, do it with a human you love. Dragon genes still dominate and we still have dragons.

Ah!

We arrived in small valleys and immediately started hunting before landing.

I caught my first rabbit like that.

"Noooon noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! but I was hungry and as if by miracle, as a logical filter was being put on and I was no longer listening to what he was saying.

I grabbed him by my claws and stuck the hooks in his belly, which immediately started to bleed.

"AIIAIAIIAIIAIIAIIAIIAIIIAI NOOOOO it does Paiiinn"

I'll suddenly tighten up like Mom said and the voice stopped. I felt a little sick, but only drool and saliva came out.

GROOWWWLLLL, I was hungry and not hungry. We'll see if my psychological blockage will hold up against the hunger instinct.

The instinct won when the juicy blood flowed down my throat. Mmmmmmm.

But it's inhuman. A conflict was awakening in me: I didn't want to lose humanity.

Rudia saw that something was wrong: "Humans eat them too. "

Me:" Yes, I know, but I thought it was disgusting and now that I'm a dragon, I think it's delicious!

We found an antelope and Mom guided me to bring it back to her and our evening meal was ready. Fire was also used and it was the first really pleasant meal with mother.

I couldn't forgive some things but it was still my mother and making nice memories was better.

We camped out, mommy telling me her stories and stuff to get by. She also told me about magic and how to initialize each of her cells.

Being a dragon in the body meant that you had to be 100% dragon in the mind. That is to say, when we dream, we dream by being in the shoes of a dragon and not a human girl...

The magic will begin as soon as my mind and soul are in phase with my body.

It became complicated and it ended under the wings of a dragon mother collapsed from exhaustion.

We sheltered from the sun and rested all day.

We went together to the waterhole and we had a rule: never separate...NEVER!

we flew away at nightfall and crossed the Caspian Sea. to reach Azerbaijan

The landscapes became greener and forests covered some valleys.

The fauna became more juicy and it was less thirsty...

We found some cracks and crevices and stayed there during the day.

"It's a beautiful world, Mom..."

Rudia: "I was finally waiting for you to tell me!"

Yes, that feeling of freedom when I fly and all that territory.

The world is a great place! Can you figure it out??

Rudia didn't answer such a stupid question.

The next day we went to Mount Elbrus on the road to Sochi in Russia. Turkey being too populated and hostile to everything that looks like a red devil... too dangerous and their military equipment being formidable, we should not take any risks.

So we went to rest in a beautiful cave. But in front of it, there were cameras with 4G network triggers and a hunter/zoologist made giant leaps when the images arrived on his phone.

Without taking the slightest precaution, he took his rifle, camera and horse and rushed to our resting place.
