"RUN!!!!" screamed Fred as he did an about-face and began to sprint as if
his life depended on it (which it did!). Velus was a close second as his
little doggy legs did an admirable job next to the legs of a six-foot-four
human being. Right behind them came the fire-breath of the now awakened
dragon. It roared and rushed, consuming the air as it did so. It reached
Velus and Fred at an alarming pace.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouchie!" screamed Fred. "Roof! Roof! Yipe!" barked Velus. They ran and ran, with the fire seeming alive right behind them. Then, suddenly, the floor was taken from out under their feet and they fell some five feet through a hole. The fire kept on going through the upper tunnel burning the stones as if with malice. "Where are we?" asked Fred. "Pot hole," said a voice behind him. Fred turned and saw a man enclothed in a grey robe. The robe was shimmering, so was the man! He had tatoos on his arms, of doves and carriages and one dedicated to 'Mom'. "Who are you?" asked Fred. "You can call me Mezzanine. I'm your guardian angel."
