" But in the meantime" the old lady says"you'll need to defend
yourself from those werewolves out there,just like all the other
people and monsters do"
She whistles,and for the first time you notice the loner
apparently sleeping under a large hat and a ponch that covers
up who ( not to mention what ) he is
The stranger slowly raises his head and you find yourself staring into a
reptillian snouty green scaled face with blazing orange eyes
"Clint,would you come over here and show these girls how we deal with werewolves" asks Elsie
Clint the loner western loving dragon man saunters over,plays a haunting tune
on a harmonica he pulled from inside that poncho ,then stares at you and Becky with
eyes that suddenly went from blazing orange to cold grey.
"Knock it off"says Elsie,as she knocks off Clints hat and ponch,
revealing that under the cloth Clint is a fairly big dragon with coiled neck,wings and
big pearshaped torso.
The dragonman hisses at her,but then turns to the 2 of you.
You notice the vast array of 6 shooter like weapons dangling from
his many gunbelts and his spiky tail
He slowly slips a taloned hand into a pouch and pulls out a small glass ball
about a half inch in diameter.
As you two girls watch,Clint springs his jaws wide open and sprays a gout of blazing
orange fire at the glass ball.
Amazingly he seems to know how to breath his dragonfire through
a tiny hole in the glass ball.
With a "snikkkk" of a claw he seals the glass ball shut with a little glass
plug.
You stare amazed at the small glowing ball,which contains dragon fire trapped
within it.
Its then you and Becky notice all the other small glowing glass balls stored
in Clints gunbelts and tied with ribbons to his spikes.
Clint holds out the glass ball for Becky to touch,and hisses at her
when she refuses.
So she touches it and is surprised that though its slightly hot,its not burning hot,
Then Clint pulls out one of his guns and you see its actually not a
"6 shooter" but has a tube instead of a barrel.Clint cracks open the
breech of what you now realize is a dragonfire flame thrower,drops in the glass
ball into a rounded chamber made for that purpose and snaps the thing
shut.
The dragon man then hands the weapon to Becky and pulls out another similar
one and hands it to you.
The two of you just stand there,not sure what to do with these one shot
dragon flame throwers.
Becky examines her weapon and notices the hammer.She pulls it back
till its cocked,and can just see the glowing glass ball of dragonfire through
a tiny pinhole the hammer needs to hit.
At this point Miss Elsie warns you two to be careful where you point and fire the weapons
"dragonfire is magically transforming to some,but deadly to werewolves" she says
You two girls recieve a pouch each of loaded glass balls,strap them around your waists
and cautiously head out the library
Just as you're about to approach the outer doors,you hear a menacing growl to one side.
You stare in horror at the 10 foot tall female werewolf,still with pieces of a
dress caught in its fur,standing there.You recognize the pieces of the dress
as belonging to one of the other more talkative girls who'd fled the boat last night.
She's now a monster and stalks toward the two of you,growling,intent on a meal.
As the werewolf opens her jaws,you see she has bloodstained teeth,and a small hand of a child
is impaled on the beasts large front fangs.
Beside you Becky is warning the monster to back off,but it doesn't.
Theres a "clickkk shatter swoshh" that lasts but a second at most
as Becky plugs the monster right between the eyes
The flash briefly blinds you as if the Sun had paid a visit
and when your eyes recover both you and Becky stare at the spot where the
monstrous werewolf had once been.
On the floor lies a charred werewolf skeleton,its forelegs splayed out,and
a undamaged childs hand,severed at the wrist,still impaled on blacked
fangs of the werewolf skulls jaws.
The ashes around the skeleton of the monster sift and blow away.
Becky stares at the werewolf slaying flamethrower in awe,then cracks it open and
pops in another glass ball into the chamber...
