What Ana didn't know was that the old man was actually the Cobra Guardian and that most of the time he went about
in his real shape
that of a 30 foot long cobra or as a more modest 5 foot five anthro cobra.
Way back when Ana's grandmother had done him a favour and he was now repaying the favour by keeping Ana from coming to harm in these regions.
So he just fretted for a half hour before making up his mind and deciding that Ana probably needed his otherworldly help.
Even supernatural creatures such as the old man know the benefits of using modern transport powered by a internal combustion engine
and so the old man got in his Cobra sports car
turned the ignition to start the engine and soon
was cautiously making his way up the dangerous mountain road in pursuit of Ana and her motorcycle.
The bike lay against a safety rail where it had slid after Ana had spun out and lost control of it.
Of Ana there was no sign and the Cobra Guardian popped
open the glove compartment and reached for the
what else
Cobra semi auto pistol he kept there.
He checked the silver tipped cartridges were in the magazine
and then cautiously left the car in search of his ,hopefully,still human charge....
