Author's Memo: Greetings people! I am here bringing a new chapter!

And I ask for forgiveness... I was engrossed in my others fics and got two new ideas as well... and for now they are nothing more than ideas but I am planning to write a few chapters as well and I will let them there and work them when I get inspired.

I'll not drop it as this one was my first fic that I actually liked and now that it has this much chapters I will continue to post alongsinde with the others, because I love them all.

Well, have a good read!

It have took us 3 years to finally be able to reach a good number of knights trained to kill a dragon. We had gathered 15.000 trained to kill dragons and more 5.000 normal soldiers to fight against what had tamed the dragon. I was one that would guide half of the force to exterminate the dragon and my father would guide the other half to help us if the number start to falling too much.

We were about a month to reach the place we had found the dragon footprint. It took us time but now we are truly prepared and with this number we would be able to kill a dragon that had reached adulthood a small time ago. If the dragon had more than a few hundreds of years it would be almost impossible to win against it using this numbers.

When spotted dragons are killed because every part of their bodies is useful, since their scales to their blood. It’s said that dragon blood can recover illness and their bones can turn the land fertile for longs years again. Their scales, teeth, claws and spikes can be used to create weapons and armors. I am using a chest plate created using the scales of a dragon and my sword was created using a claw. The weapon pieces created from their parts never loses their sharpness and can cut things very easily.

I had sent some scouts to look the area ahead and come back if they find something strange. I wanted to know beforehand if something strange appears before us. I was expecting an ambush too so I had sent some men to look around, careless is said to be an enemy in any kind of situation. Until we haven’t suffered any loss, but we had seen some beastmen running around but nothing we couldn’t scare with our number or sending some men to hunt them but they never tried to do anything so we just scared them for now. It was when four scouts had come running with a thing in their hands. It looked like a spider but the surface was metallic.

“What is it?” I ask when they get near, my father was near me but he was occupied talking with some of the forces leaders asking for their help and other things about the battle that would occur in a few days.

“We don’t know, but a woman voice had come out from this thing and asked to talk with the leader. We tried to ‘kill’ it, but our arrows and swords would stop before reaching its body.” The man that was carrying it said.

“It has any weapons?” I ask to them and they shook their heads.

“This thing appears to be able to run, hide and use some kind of shield, but don’t have any power to attack.”One of the answers. It looks like this is one of the things that the person that had tamed the dragon was able to control. My father had heard what we were talking about and with his order the man to leave it on the table before us.

A light appears on its body and a female voice com out of the thing.

“Good evening humans. I am Lilith Marquez Valance, the Queen of the Mechatronics. This thing before you is a drone that I am controlling from afar.” I had jumped with my hand on my sword. ‘What was that thing!’ This thought ran through my mind, and looking to the others captains I could see that they all had put their hands on their weapons. “I can see that you all are easy to scare. I think cats have more courage than you.” A chuckle come from the ‘drone’ on the table.

“I am the King Mustaf Renoir Herold the Sixth. King of Treynor. My son had come to this place three years ago and had found out that someone near here have tamed a dragon and this is a subjugation quest to kill that thing before he enters in rampage and start to kill everything in his path.” My father answered with a small hint of rage in his voice. I had seen this before and this will not finish well.

“Orah… You’re saying that my personal pet will go rampage? I think you’re just too stupid to understand what my pet is.” She… is the one who is the tamer? How she was able to tame that beast and she is saying that it won’t go in rampage? What is happening here? “Y’allaer, my love. Come here. It looks like the stupid humans are thinking you will go rampage.” ‘She called a dragon to talk to us?! Dragon are beasts and to one to learn how to talk it has to live for a long time!!!

“Greetings humans, this one here is the ‘pet’ as well as the King of the Mechatronics, Y’allaer Dragnovith.” A dragon that can talk? And for the way he is talking he really is the ‘king’ but a dragon able to talk need to have more than 300 years and the footprint we had found was from one that had near 6 years and would now would have 9 years entering the mature state! “And I think you all are wrong. I am not a dragon.” What! But the ‘queen’ said her pet is a dragon! “I am a draconian. A first generation one.” I could hear the smile on his voice.

“Why are you revealing such information now? I wanted to see their fear when they encountered you in battle. If I am not wrong the dwarves knowledge said that dragon need to have near 500 year to change shapes to appear more human like.” The woman voice came out of the device on the table.

It was when projection appeared before us. There we could see a couple sitting in two thrones near each other. The woman had silver hair down to her waist and she was wearing a black dress adorned with three golden dragons circling their way through it and in her cleavage a strange jewel was shining. Her eyes were yellow and a strange crown was on her head. She was sitting on a complete white throne with golden details.

The man had black hair and blue eyes, four horns appeared from the side of his head. He was wearing white robe with three red dragon coiling themselves. In his back I could see a pair of red wings sprouting and staying in a relaxed position and a red scaly tail was resting in the ground near him. The king wasn’t wearing a crown, he had a helmet that looked like dragon’s scales. He was sitting in a black throne with a strange blue cross on the top of it.

“Oh, it looks like we finally get to see each other.” The queen said looking at us with a cold gaze and it was when I noticed one thing, she had a scaly silver tail and it was rest right beside the king ones! “Oh, I’m not a dragon. As I said before I am the Queen of the Mechatronics.”

I was shocked. ‘How the hell I didn’t have noticed such a thing?’ I thought to myself. I look to my father. He had shocked face too. I think he had noticed it too, what is that thing she is saying, Mechatronics is her race or the kingdom she rules?

With a deep breath my father continues to talk with her. Some of the generals in this place had taken their weapons out of the sheath and were pointing to the drone.

“*Breath* May I ask, what is the Mechatronics you are talking about?” As they both are queen and king they had to show a little of respect between them, but what I am seeing about the queen she is acting like we are nothing more than vermins.

“It is the race my dear commands. You humans are so stupid that you had forgotten that race?” The draconian king tell us. Draconians are rarer than dragons, and their ability to change shapes are fearful. But as slaves we they can be really useful. “And I can see that some people in the room have beautiful weapons…” His eyes had a strange shiny. It looks like he know from what our weapons were made just from looking at them.

“Stop trying to buy a battle here.” She says to her king. ‘They want peace? But the way they are acting don’t show that.’ “I had prepared a good place to our battle.” As I had thought… she is a strategist while the king is a brute. “Boy, do you remember the place you found his footprint?” She ask to me.

“Yes, I remember perfectly, it was near the ruins of the city of Hanred.” That was the city that had been destroyed.

“Oh, so that was the name of the city I destroyed… I forgot to ask it to the king before killing his family…” The king says scratching his cheek. Shock ran through my body. ‘He is younger than me and he is saying that he was the one that made the place look like ruins?! And it was more than 3 years ago!’

“H-How much time took to Your Highness do that to the city?” One general asks him. The boy looks at us for a little, he is probably thinking about it.

“Well… the ones that had gone to the city did everything in two to three hours. I took that time playing with the family of the foolish king… and when they finished I made the city ruin.” His eyes were saying the truth… and we are going to battle against them? What the hell were we thinking?

“By the way, don’t ever think about running.” The queen said and a new images appeared before us. “I have some explosives drone installed through your city and if you ever dare to ran away I will make them explode.” Her smile… it is fearsome! How she can smile like that?! “Oh, we have some human kids we had gathered from that kingdom here, if you win against my army I will release them.”

Another image appear showing nearly 100 kids playing and laughing in the city with some ‘human’ like things, some produced steam and others had strange things appearing from their head or shoulders.

“They numbered 103. We got an odd number when I got the last prince of that kingdom to us.” The boy answered. “And I can fly to your country in two weeks most. So I can burn down that place before you can come back. So let’s play a little game!” His face had lighted up. ‘He is treating us as pieces in game?’

“Do you want me to send all my men to die a pointless death? You could have already exploded our city now and now is just showing an image before that happened!” My father got enraged with them, but I understand what he is thinking.

“We should never do such a thing. It is pointless to do it as we can claim that place as ours after we finish here.” The queen retort to my father with a cold voice. “If you want to be sure… should I make an explosion happen now~?” A joyful smile appears in her face. The image was moving and we could see the people walking in the streets and looking better I could see that it was at real time. They really are doing it now!

“Father! Look at that thing there.” I point to the image I was looking. There was people I know that would be walking on the street at this time of the day. Some noises were coming and it was they had said it was September 5th. And it is today! How I hadn’t noticed it before?! “It is today! This thing is happening now!” I show him the place the sound had come from. He looks to me and nods. He had heard it too.

“What! Do you thought my loved Queen would lie about it?! She has a good heart and knows when she is going overboard!” The king’s tail lashed the ground near his throne leaving a small mark on the ground.

“Y’allaer. Stop throwing a tantrum. And you humans, I will leave this drone with you to ‘see’ what you will decide to do. And we are going to be waiting for you on that plain.” With a wave the image is cut and the drone bow to us.

“Father, what are we going to do?” I ask with fear in my eyes.

“We are going to do the same as before. We are going to march and destroy that kingdom! How they think they are to mock me before my generals!” He is enraged, too much to think straight! But I think this is the best course of actions. “We’re not saying about this to anyone, that bombs should be removed as soon as we get back to our kingdom, and with this number we’re not going to lose!” He said with confidence. But it was just now that I remembered one question that we didn’t made… how much men the king had lead to destroy the city of Hanred?

Well, is you ever have time, go check my other's fic, I think you guys will like them.

Have a good week.
