Both Fred and Astra looked at Velus, who had now fallen asleep. "He's a fox
terrier," Wei told them. "They originally came from Gana. Though there is
one big difference. The fox terriers you may be familiar with are the
result of cross-breeding, whereas dogs such as Velus are direct descendants
of the original breeding pair. There are thought to only be around hundred
such dogs in existence, and up to now, they were all believed to be in
Gana." Fred and Astra shared a look. They probably had been until Minestus had turned Velus into one. Speaking of dragons... Hoping against hope, Minestus had tried to enter the Three Kingdoms, and wasn't surprised when the barrier didn't let him through. What did surprise him was the sudden sound of a warning bell in his head. He stepped back from the barrier. Five robed and hooded figures carrying staffs with blazing blue crystals materialised on the Three Kingdoms side of the barrier, arranged in a semi-circle. Minestus felt something he hadn't felt for a long time... fear. You may enter the Three Kingdoms only if we escort you. He blinked. The intrusion into his mind was sudden, unexpected. Whatever these creatures were, he could tell he could not deal with all five of them even in his much more powerful dragon form He found himself torn by indecision. He wanted to enter the Three Kingdoms, but only on the off-chance he could bring Fred and Astra under his control again. If he went with these five beings, he would have to be really careful lest they rained down gods knew what kind of retribution down on him. He realised now that the situation had been slipping away from him as soon as Fred and Astra had entered the Three Kingdoms...
