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.
