It was time for me to rejoin my physical body, I had to recuperate and eat.

I was cramped and my whole body was stiff, cold, asleep.

After long breaths, I managed to move my head very slowly and I saw, not very happy, Demodragon who said "Hmph!" then turned around and went towards the lava lake.

It was terrible, and this time I could not move, as if a mass was crushing me.

When I wanted to move one leg, I couldn't...but after a few minutes my other heads started to move too.

But on closer inspection, it wasn't my paw on me.

I looked better and saw a huge dragon, wrapped around me.

IRRAX!

Irrax had clung to me to save herself from the astral and return to the physical plane. Impossible for demons... so... would it be a half? or a dragon?

She was as big as Demodragon. She was crushing me, but she was pale, not good at all.

I tried to get out of the way, but she tightened her paw and her tongue went through my spine. She was knocked out and moaning.

"Ivan, my Ivan, save me! Help me!"

Then I shouted at Demodragon.

"Demodragon... what's happening?"

He retraced his steps.

"So, wimp, can't you handle a female of your kind?"

I said, "But she's weak. What's wrong with her?"

Demodragon: "She made the mistake of her life, one mistake too many... She never listened to me, never ate souls when she's part demon, part dragon... and she's weak as a dragon and weak as a demon... She has sealed her fate... Cuddle her, these are her last moments!"

Me: "I can't leave her like this!"

Demodragon "You have everything you need. Do it yourself and learn! If you lose her, Tiamat will be sad and you will lose a powerful ally.

This is also part of your training..."

With that, he returned sulking to the lava lake. I bet, to better observe me comfortably from the aether or astral...

"Come on! Come on!, hold on Irrax!!! I'm your friend!!!"

Tears streamed from her closed eyes. She was in agony and smoking everywhere.

Demodragon had still given me precious clues: Inside me and it was half a demon and half a dragon...

The air must be burning her... The mana is too dense, too pure...

I breathed my exhalation, charged with regenerating mana, into her mouth to mouth.

Her chest calmed down and her breathing slowly became normal.

Then I bit my wrist and let my blood flow into her open mouth, lying on her back.

Then she pulled herself up and screamed in pain!

I climbed on top of her and resumed breathing mouth-to-mouth for several dozen minutes, then her tongue came around mine and she squeezed me between her paws so that I wouldn't let her go.

Then she opened her eyes, all red, embarrassed and angry, and pushed me away with a cough.

Head down, one paw pointing to her palm and making the stop sign, pause,

She took a gentle breath and then collapsed crying.

I let her catch her breath and I slipped into the lake to swim and relax.

Irrax, holding her throat: "What have you done to me?"

Me: "I just saved your life..."

Irrax: "Alive? I'm alive? YAYY!!!!!! screamed she."

She took her inspiration but her body couldn't take it, couldn't move.

Her muscles had melted because she had spent her whole life in hell and had developed little or no physical body.

I pulled her, shaking in the water.

She screamed and wanted to resist but without any strength.

I held her by her front legs.

"I've got you, don't be afraid... The water will rehydrate you and make you feel good. You need to work your muscles..."

She was scared to death, she'd never been in contact with physical water before.

"I'm a red dragon, no water... I'm going to melt."

I'm smiling but I respected the hierarchy. He was my general and also my guarantee of survival in this crazy world.

"Let's go for a swim. Can you feel, are your cramps better?"

Hirrax! "Yes!" she cried.

We're going to go around and if you look up, some sunlight will shine through your jacket.

"Ahhhhh, it's bright!!!!!!!!! It burns!"

Me: "You need to get your body back on its feet... Here, drink a little, not too much..."

2 hours later, I pulled her out of the water, on some sand and I started to massage her muscles, rubbing them and coating them with cactus oil that I had found that and the...

Weakly, she straightened up and lay on her side.

"Gravity is hard!!!! Am I going to be like this all the time?"

Me: "Oh, no, look, you're coloring up already and your regeneration's in full swing. In a few hours you'll start walking again and in a few days you'll be flying again!" Me: "Oh, no, look, you've already got your colors back and your regeneration is in full swing. But first you have to eat!"

I took some grilled horses out of my personal space and handed her a few.

First she took a bite followed by a little cry of pleasure and then she cried with joy at being able to savour the pleasure of eating and regain strength.

Then she gobbled up my portion.

Then, full, she leaned against me and let herself go to a restful sleep.

I made her comfortable on the sand and she fell asleep in my warmth.

At that moment I thought of my poor Argentrix. Had she received my message?

Then I summoned Aries, the dragon from the infernal zodiac of Aries.

The summoned dragon could stay on this plane of existence by my expenditure of mana and a little extra to maintain it. Of course, to remain himself, he would have to devour souls...or other demons...

Demodragon had given me back the rocket train only for my work with the promise to insert it somewhere if he ever caught me playing with it again.

Aries, was the magical technician, the super blacksmith of the infernal army, and he despised me and everyone in the last legion.

"What do you want?" he said with a sarcastic smile, already analyzing how to screw up my plans...

Me: "Here is the only specimen of an interdimensional vehicle. In theory, it is planned to go even from the physical plane to the Tartarus!

Your army has magic spears, lightning bows and zombie horses in profusion and also antique horse-drawn chariots. You are at least 2000 years late. You wouldn't want to be the laughing stock of Zaar's army of darkness that has outgrown our technology, and I don't mean you!"

The monster, an infernal metal dragon with eyes as black as ash, or very, very dark blood, only a thin, shiny thread cut through the eye like a snake's pupil, was stung to death.

I had scored a point and I had to put them back in their place and make my own.

There's a satellite orbiting the planet.

You have to astralize it and demonize it so that physical attacks can't reach it.

It's an eye that sees the movements of friendly and enemy troops.

It has to be absolutely secure. Then we'll let the US military use it, but we can't scuttle it, modify it. Not administrator access!

if you don't know a concept, use my memory, because you can read minds, so instead of voyeurism or cheating, use this power wisely.

There's a database on the rocket train for complex, technical issues.

I want a suitable command post in one of the maze rooms, and several relay and mobile antennas for our legion exclusively!

This is our initiative, our idea and therefore the use is exclusive to the 60th...

He called on goblins, former mad scientists, and all these little people were going back and forth between the lava well and the vault above the lake.

Several days passed, and Hirrax gradually regained his strength.

I suspected a little, but she was becoming madly in love with me. But, knowing that they are demons, I did not let any familiarity permeate. It was torture for me.

She too had to go through this and have iron self-control so she wouldn't be broken and be on the same level as the other demons.

I had a lot of questions about her past, her life and how she got to this point, but I was waiting for her to take the initiative.

She arrived after taking a lava bath and sat down next to me on the lake, on the beach, my favorite place.

"It's beautiful here, but it's a small underworld!"

"Yes, sir, but it's a safe haven, impossible to get to, and so we escape the scrutiny of other armies..."

She gave me a smile.

"You've been good to me and you've respected me. You did not take advantage of my weakness for a moment and I will be eternally grateful. But I know that you have many questions about my origins... but I know very little, in fact...".

My mum was a pretty light-coloured dragon but I never saw her, just felt her aura.

It was daddy, who was a demon who raised me in hell until he was killed. Human gods...

According to dad, mom was very beautiful and looked like an elf with golden blond hair. Dad had to run away with me and he tried everything to see her again. I know she's still alive and it's my dream to see her again. Tiamat took me back like a mother when I lost my daddy. I was only a few days old and she ordered that no one should discriminate against me. My mother now is Tiamat. But I would like to know why I could never find my biological mother..."

Me: "You have to believe in your destiny. You've survived until now and maybe the answer isn't so far away...

But I promise to help you find her.

Then we looked at our bodies. And we blushed. We were naked and of the opposite sex.

Then, to change the subject, as her eyes sparkled and the next thing you know you'd be making love or beating me up to put me in my place.

The relationship between Irrax and me was too young to take the next step.

'Hirrax, you know, we have a big problem. We're too big!"

Demodragon came between us and looked at me with both his heads: "The holidays are over. Size problems are another lesson.

Master the magic already and we'll talk later."
