In the evening, I watched Hissa and she spoke to Brutus in Lizard language.

Brutus: "Ivan is very strong and Akar told me about his exploits and they are not to be taken lightly. He killed a giant deer and brought it back to the village by himself. It must be considered as strong as 2 to 3 adults. It's a good thing he's nice. But the ceremony must be ready soon.

Who will be presented to the big silver?"

"Sam, he's the oldest and he'd like to be adopted by humans, but we know that's impossible. The problem is Ivan, he'll probably make him escape." said hissa.

Brutus: "the best and when he went to sleep. We'd put Sam to sleep and lead him to the altar of the great Silver."

Hissa:" Listen Brutus, I don't have any more! Using orphans instead of ours, it's unfair. I love my children and when I started, the big money was nicer but now it's a monster! It's not the one we were serving!"

Brutus: "or, you're right but be careful that people hear you"

Hissa: "If only we didn't have to count the big silver one hard for our protection!!!!! These orcs, what a generation!

Holy shit!

It disgusts me!

You'll see! I'll take on Sam's appearance!

Grrrrrrrr!

I went back to my brothers and sisters and explained the situation to them.

"Look, if you're ever in danger, come and take refuge in my cave! We can hide there cool."

Sam: "I asked about the temple: Before there was a mine underneath and gold or diamond mining was done there, but it's sealed. I think it was diamond."

Brutus is involved with Hissa and Misha and Paul, the handyman.

The last one to leave is Jacky, a Kajit like you, Saphie!

and I think Jacky was taken to the hidden underground in the Great Silver's prayer room! We never saw him again and there is also Louise, who has disappeared and sometimes appears as a ghost. Only children can see it and it shows us where to hide when there is danger"

I said, "What danger?"

Sam:" The orcs attacked the village 2 years ago and I think it's the mine they're interested in. They had a shaman and the Silver Great fought to repel them but since then he's become evil it seems!"

Sam: "Ivan, I want to go see if there's a clue for Saphie or Jacky in the temple and I want you to watch the adults"

I said, "Are you sure? I can go and see!"

Sam: "No, I'm next on the list so I have a right to know!"

Me: "Wait, Sam, wait, Sam"

I'm casting a shield spell on him.

I made you stronger!

We kissed and then I watched out with the guys.

Sam entered the chapel and in front of the giant statue of the great Silver, there was an alcove and a priestess was standing on her knees in front of the colossus.

Sam touched the statue and pressed the tail and a click was heard. The Statue pivoted, leaving a spiral staircase

As soon as Sam went down the stairs the statue returned to its position.

Weak lighting was provided by bright stones and Sam walked down a long corridor. On the side there was another smaller staircase that led into a part of the walled dormitory. The dormitory was originally larger.

And in one of the rooms there were inscriptions everywhere, on the ceiling, on the floor and on the walls:

"Help, I don't want to die!", "Help!", "Don't kill me!"

Then He came back and shared his discovery:

"This orphanage is a slaughterhouse for children!"

"Adults must never know that we know!" I said.

Then Emily went to wash herself and I saw Brutus in the orphanage stop talking to Hissa and Brutus stopped talking to Hissa and went looking for him as a case but he was following Emily and I'm sure he wanted to check her out because of her round shapes!

While she was washing, Brutus took her panties and started sniffing them viciously! She came out of the wooden tine, feeling a draft and saw Brutus holding her panties!

"You pervert! Give it back to me now!" Hurla Emilie.

We ran up to Emily naked, but we didn't care!

Brutus dropped the panties and came out of the room. "HAHAHAHA, you can always call for help! I'm the one who'll come... hahahaha!"

Emily was walked home with a towel to cover her and she was crying!

I had rabies but I couldn't intervene! He'll be on my kill list or death note one of these days!

The next day, I had hunting lessons with aka and as it was the day after the full moon I stayed a little longer.

We had another "meeting"

Sam: "I'm sure they mine diamonds here and it's a front here and they work children underground until we die of exhaustion!"

Jacky had spied on the adults and found evidence during the night and one day he disappeared, certainly murdered!

All those who discover the secret(s) are murdered. The girl who wrote the words on the walls must have been murdered too, her name was Saphie.

Jacky was a good guy and he kept it a secret until the end. He never betrayed us until the end.

To survive here, it will take money to buy food so I'll try to find gems and we'll all get out of here!

We all played together as if nothing had happened, but Hissa had a sad face, the children stopped confiding and she missed it.

"Ivan," come and give me a hug!

I approached and climbed on her lap and she combed my hair.

"What is it, Sister Hissa?"

She shed a tear!

"Don't you call me Mommy Hissa anymore? "she complained?

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mommy Hissa."

She laid her head on me and asked me "Why don't you tell me anything anymore, you are in your world from which I am excluded! Aren't I beautiful?"

Me: "No, not at all! We're a little tired because of school, that's it and we stay with those of our age with the free time we have left."

Hissa: "Ah, I understand better! Thank you Ivan..."

Me: "You're welcome, "Mom" Hissa!"

You bet, a mother who's going to sacrifice her kids!

Then Tom who was eating himself to catch up on the fat he never had and made him a match on his feet.

"Tom, you look like hell!"

"You shouldn't have seen it, was it my fault? It's always like that!"

And he started sobbing all the time, stuffing himself with cake.

I said, "What's wrong?"

Tom:" I saw it! I saw it! And I left Jacky there! And I ran away!"

I said, "What did you see? What? Tell me!

Tom: "I was walking down the hall eating and I heard screams and movements:

"NO! Get off me!"

"JACKY!"

"I DON'T WANT TO!"

"Aaaaarghhhh"

Then I saw Jacky bleeding heavily in the throat, held by Brutus!

I saw Jacky killed

All that blood running through the bathroom!

The next day, we resumed our daily activities, hiding our secrets from adults, but what can we do to save them? and save myself? I can't act alone!

As a dragon, it would be a massacre...

I have to act like we don't know.

What a nightmare!

Hissa was looking at us, worried that something was wrong!

Hissa freed us up for recess and she asked me if I liked it with everyone and I said it was great. But I had to share with her our little secrets. She loved secrets!..

So I remembered the promise not to say anything, especially in front of adults

Hissa:" If you're bothered by something, let me know! OK?

Me: "Okay, Mommy Hissa"

Then Sam called me and told me he was going on a diamond hunt alone!
