She heard something moving to her left, and turned to face it. The lizard was there, turning slowly around, and looked at her with sad, dull, eyes. He really did look a sight! There were various cuts all over his body, quite a few seemed pretty deep, and most of them were bleeding. There was one particularly bad one on his head. What had happened to him? Wait... He seemed
to be sending her a telepathic message now.

They took... my dady. The lizard seemed so sad... And it sounded like it was in pain too. Just moment after speaking, he slumped to the ground and seemed to faint. Or die. This is bad, this is very very bad! If it dies, I'll have another death to carry on my shoulders! If I have another death for me I'll just have longer and worse dreams. I guess I have to stay with that lump of fat then. I guess I should check his pulse to make sure he's alive.

Amariel gingerly stood up and walked over to the lizard. Gosh that things neck was thick! Instead of using two fingers, she put her hand on his neck. Woahah! Ok! It definitely has a pulse! Now... If I can stop any possible bleeding.... But he;s so large! My bandage wouldn't wrap around him even twice! Maybe I'll find something in my pockets. We all know that there are wonders in there. Maybe I'll fin a city in them someday. And with that Amariel began rustling through her many pockets in search of an odd item.
