"OK," started Mike as he sat down on a barrel by one of the abandoned cottages, the other two walking around the area to make sure it was safe before stopping there with him, letting their weapons hang from their shoulders. "Either of you care to tell me what the **** went on back there?". "Well i know for a fact that was no Dragon that attacked us back there" said Jake as he reached into the flatbed of the truck, dragging the corpse that now lay there by the foot, letting it slide off, tumble off and drop to the floor with a crunch, before kicking it over so that it faced upwards. it was definately human, but it's skin was rotten and charred in places, to the point the charred spots had broken off when the body fell on it's face, leaving several holes in it. it was a woman, seemingly in her mid 40s, the remains of a celtic Dragon tattoo on her left arm, her tanktop burned off in places, and stuck to the skin in others, the immense heat of the flames that engulfed her having caused the cloth and skin to fuse. where her eyes should be, were two holes, dark and charred on the inside. "Maybe it was some kind of side effect? Dragons down there all those years...what if they had some kind of disease breeding in those Dragon-tombs that got out when they did?" said Max, staring at the corpse in mild fear. "Are you mad? Mad Max, is that what we should call you from now on? you're telling me, that you think several thousand year old Dragon Farts turned people into flying zombies that rain down on cars?" said Mike. "No, but still, that thing was attacking without any outside influence. like it was alive" said Max. "So you're suggesting the Dragon Farts are a new kind of coke that leave you high as a kite.....literally? eyeless dive bombing corpses that smack against the glass? for god's sake Max, what the hell's the matter with you? you sure YOU aren't high at the moment as well?" said Mike. "Oh for god's sake, Mike. give the man a break. a Wyvern as big as our car just appeared in front of him then disappeared when he hit it. he's as stressed as we are!" said Jake, interrupting the argument. after a moment of silence, he continued. "Look, let's just try and collect any supplies we can use, and get the hell out of here. I Remember hearing something about an American base on the coast. with a bit of luck, it's still active and willing to take in three men for a while, until things calm down and we've had time to recover properly". the other two nodded, and entered the cottage next to them, beginning to search for supplies...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
