You were a bit puzzled about that copper watch however,as such things hadn't yet been
invented in the age that dragons are traditionally associated with (450AD to 1400 AD )
However thats because the fantasy novel was associated with a time period a few
centuries later,oh about 1700AD.
Now you took a closer look at your circa 1700 watch whilst Amanda was fumbling about for something
she'd discovered in her clothes.
Your watch seemed to be ticking down to a point a hour in the future.At that point was
a little image of a dragon on the dial.
You were starting to get uneasy and turned your back on Amanda,sensing the two
of you weren't going to be friends much longer.
You examined the copper watch and noticed the silver band that joined the two copper
halves,the Dragon's Ring,some inner sixth dragon sense whispered in your mind.
Meanwhile Amanda had finally managed to pull the strange object out of her
sack,a flintlock-crossbow,loaded and ready to slay were-dragons,such as you sensed
you were yourself
You gave Amanda a excuse to get away from her for a minute and took off your boots,to notice
your toes were starting to lengthen at the same the rest of your foot shrank and
gave way to the lengthening toes.As you watched the toes began to merge till after
a minute you had a three long toed foot,well on its way to the next stage of becoming
a dragons foot.
Obviously it was time to bail out on this darkening fantasy,and you found a
excuse to end it,before you did harm to Amanda.
You both ended up back in the fantasy section,sans watch and flintlock-crossbow
and old world clothing.However your feet still felt awfully
cramped and you got a employee to direct you to the store
washroom.
When you pulled off your boots with difficulty you noticed that you still had
the mutating feet,but they were a inch longer thamn in fantasy world.
The weredragon curse had followed you into the real world
