I look at the white powder flying around Michael and suddenly notice it starts to flash as little colourful blinking lights hide in the powder. I look surprised at what is going on waiting to see what happens next when I feel warmth on my leg.
It is nice and comforting. I start to feel quite relaxed and the warmth slowly starts to spread around my body... I feel as if maybe I would like to sit down or lie down. I look at the ground, sort of looking for a nice place to rest... and then I notice that I can't see my feet as they are covered by some sort of a blanket... wait, it's not a blanket...
I slowly look up to the side to see where the blanket ends and I see... I giant snail!
It is my size, or slightly taller and is licking both legs, by now reaching up to my waist, trying to cover me. I feel so comfortable, yet weak, but still, manage to look towards Michael and call
"Hello, I need some.."
Michael looks at me shocked and jumps up, running towards me, he blows some white powder onto the creature and starts pulling me from under its blanket. I feel very floppy now as I am covered all up to my neck. Michael puts his hand on top of the giant snail's shell and pushes it off me. I think the snail gets a bit upset at that, as its horns straighten up and point towards Michael, looking angry like he is about to start a war or something...
Then suddenly the little flashing lights that were in the white powder get inhaled or rest on the snails blanket and immediately the snail starts to close his eyes, hide his horns and lets go of me and hide in his shell. As if he was going to sleep.
"Oh, so that's how it works.." I thought.
Once the snail releases me I fall down, sitting on my bottom with a gasp... I am soaking wet in some sort of goo and feel exhausted.
" Michael, I am really exhausted after this... do you think you could take me home now, please?"...
I lift my head up from looking at the dirty ground where the watery, gooey thing was dripping down mixing with brown dry sand and look up at Michael seeking his response. He doesn't seem to hear me at all, his face looks concerned as he is looking up at the sky. I look up to see what he is looking at and I see...
Bolts of fire flying through the sky, almost as if the clouds were burning. It is nothing like the fireworks on New Year's Eve... I look at it enjoying its beauty. I get up to see it better when I feel a pull on my arm. It is Michael pulling my arm again. He seems very concerned and is shouting
"We need to go now!"
I just want to see more of the beautiful view, but I am running with Michael...
Then I hear a noise. Big bangs, like thunder, but also like a flap of some gigantic birds wings. While running I am curious so I turn around and see... A dragon spitting fire with wings like a gigantic goose?! It was flying towards us throwing its bolts of fire every few seconds and the fire sometimes fell from the sky onto the ground and where it touched a bush or tree is setting it on fire.
Following Michael, I hear him shout
"It's ok! Over here!" And suddenly, we are falling down a hole in the ground, I catch Michael's waist as we sit down and start to slide into the darkness. I am going down on a water slide, just without the water, but the wet goo that I am still covered in is making us slide quite fast. We go up and down, right and left, sliding for quite a while, all the time still unable to see anything.
Suddenly the slide seems to straighten up leading us down, down, dow...
"Oh dear," I shout as the slide has come to an end and is spitting us out into the air...
