The Two-headed Dog

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 12869

Prowling beneath the lemon tree, and apparently guarding it, was a dog with two heads. Andrea could remember a little Greek mythology, and the dog reminded her of Cerberus. Wasn't Cerberus supposed to be down in Hades somewhere, though, not up here on the surface? Or did the ACS have a direct connection to the Underworld?

Why should a lemon tree be guarded anyway? Andrea hadn't anticipated the possibility, and she was beginning to panic at the thought of further delay. She had already lost several inches from her waist, and was having to hold up her trousers with one hand to prevent them from falling down. Also, noticeable above all the strange sensations she was feeling, there was now a soreness just below each shoulderblade, which she feared might signal that wings would grow before long.

Andrea tried talking to the creature. Perhaps it would understand her, and might be less ferocious than it seemed.

  1. To her surprise, the dog talks back.
  2. The only response to Andrea's tentative "Nice doggie" is a growl. Now what?
  3. Before Andrea has said more than a couple of words, a voice from behind her says: "Did you weant to cross the Styx?"
