The Isle (TOME 7 of the TIAMAT'S WARS SERIE)

Sacrifice

Wistala had called in doctors and the veterinarian who was to inspect my conditions of detention charged Alice. Indeed, I was just a poor creature. I could not be the bloodthirsty monster Yamato had portrayed.

Moreover this one was at the top of my "Death note", my list to be eliminated.

My military advisers scanned the places to strike and weaved a network of information for the nation under secret construction.

But for the moment, I was licking my wounds.

Linton and Lampton decided not to let Wistala's mother come to see me anymore.

I was treated and the shackles were removed.

I was suffering for real this time.

Akulathraxas was number 2 on my death note. I dreamed of splitting her skull in two with my special axes to settle their account with the dragons.

The fact that the judgment was overturned but that I had to stay in the reserve had influenced the other dragons.

They all wanted to see me and welcome me as I should be. What a joke! But I was acting.

They put me in a corset to hold my muscles with broken ribs and first aid could be given.

But, weary, I did a restoration spell, much more powerful, capable of bringing a dead man back to life so soon enough.

Mommy Svy had taught me a lot.

But I had like a library in my brain but I was too young, inexperienced and a young beast in fact. I wanted to play, to discover, to be happy and all that, I took it as a great game... I didn't really realize it, well, a little bit, but I didn't always want to admit the reality. All my life, I lived like a raptor and I had a dinosaur logic, and that allowed me to have some perspective on human life.

This was obvious to me and annoyed me like Inferno: The dragons, knowing that I was "innocent" in the eyes of human laws, frequented me and liked me more.

For me it was enslavement to the human dictatorship, a vast ape organization of bootlickers. A bit like a tree with a lot of monkeys in it. The one at the top sees smiles below him. But the one below sees only the ass hole of the others.

Lampton had re-gifted me a chess set at my waist and during my "convalescence" I played with him and his brother, now reunited. Lampton had miraculously survived, with Mordiford deprived of his powers by Tartarus for his unforgivable acts.

Marius (the great), was the liaison between Wistala and Akulathraxas.

Seeing his grandmother frightened and in a state of shock, he came to find Wistala and then came to confront me.

He was aware of the latest military affairs concerning the rebels.

When I was "cured" I left to tour the Linton estate and the reserve, accompanied by a dozen dragons, more curious to be with a true "savage".

My musculature was overdeveloped. Between hunting wild boar and stegosaurus, there was a huge difference.

My musculature, bones and teeth had adapted and really transformed by my mutation into a real devourer / hydra by Inferno.

Basically, I was physically between 10 and 20 times stronger than the strongest of the dragons and my jaw had nothing to envy a super T-Rex.

I emanated a force around me that my fellow dragons could feel.

I was flying fast and the others had a hard time keeping up. Even Wistala with favourable wind and force spells could barely keep up with me.

"We're going to see the tower... I can't wait..."
