Alex got out of the Model A after the long and bumpy ride and approached the 1928 Ford trimotor sitting on the grass airstrip.He
found that the cargo space in the plane was filled with mining
equipment so he was obligated to squeeze in between the pilot and
copilot of the rickety plane.
They took off and a hour passed and below all Alex could see was mile
after mile of clould.Trying to strike up a conversation with the other
two men Alex mentioned that he had just finished reading Tolkeins
recently published "The Hobbit".That didn't interest the foreign speaking avuators,who continued to chatter about the upcoming 1934 soccer match between Lima and Bogota being held in Mexico City in a
few weeks.
Alex got really really bored,so he decided to put on the dragon amulet.
There was the usual flash and sparks of energy and when the smoke cleared
the two Peruvian aviators and Alex found themselves staring up at
a 4rth occupant of the Trimotors cockpit.A big red scaly dragon.
