This is starting to look like Most Haunted

. ... .in the dim light ahead a furtive little furry figure inches out into the tunnel, sees the group. .. . .



.. . .emits another little baby flame which illuminates its dragon shape but furry exterior... somewhat singed around the muzzle... . .



. .. . .turns tail and scurries back into the side tunnel it came out of. .. . .

*i try to follow, but the passageway is much too narrow. I demorph to human shape, and even then it is a tight squeeze.*

Guys? The tunnels very narrow. If you have to follow, do it at intrervals...

Okay lets go i'll go second, as i have a weapon.

*follows Axi down the tunnel, ripping my shirt on the way down*

Careful, there's some sharp...oh forget it.


*I step out of the passage into a llarger tunnel, but there is no sign of the creature I was chasing.8

Tell them they can all come through.

*yells down the tunnel* you can come through now!

*It echoes all around, creating shockwaves of sounds and giving me a splitting headache*

Oops sorry Axi

*rummages around in backpack unti I find a nice cup of for Axi's headache*

Ahhh thanks.

*I sit on a very convenient rock and sip the tea, which is perfect.*

*now i'm thirsty a for me, sits on a stone taht looks a little like a throne but more like a lump of rock*

What about the others?

*I ask with a smile*

Not sure.

They'll probably catch up later, might as well wait for them, and I'm hungry,do you fancy a spot of food (to eat not to go out with)?

You mean like a date?

Sorry, awful

*Pegasus emerges from tunnel, with a few scratches*

I'm glad that's over! Did we catch up with the little furry dragon?

*Looks at Axi and Pingu*

Well, don't you two look all cosy sat there together. Having fun?

. .. .Pegasus feels a warm furry weight brush up against her fetlock.. . then against the other one... . then the third one ... . and then the fourth one . .. . . .

IT'S REALLY SHARP!!!

DID I MENTION HOW SHARP IT IS?!

Has it pierced your skin? if it has then i'll get a bandage ready!

Hey! Little furry dragon thing! Come back! We won't hurt you, I promise. Please, come back.

*Waits*

Oh well. Anyway, mad-hatter. Let's unstick you.

*Fetches convenient supply of butter and puts on rock* There, you can get free now.

*steals butter to put on my toast* Hehe

. ... .the furry little dragonlike creature sees the butter and toast and gobbles it all up so fast that... . . .
