So the fish smell is gone now, I thought, shifting a little in the hammock I made out of human skin and sheep fleece. But the gills're still here. Why?

From the corner of my eye, I saw Nogard appear--but I didn't bother with it since she has always been in the corner of my vision since the last time she escaped (those first two weeks were a NIGHTMARE and I was very very twitchy). "Dragon! What the hell?"

Blinking in surprise, I turned to look at Nogard--but she dissappeared when I turned my full attention to her. Resuming my original position, I was not that surprised to see her reappear. "I don't know Nogard. What is the hell?"

"Stop being a smart a**," Nogard replied. "You know what I mean. The GILLS and the FISH smell."

"I thought that was your trick," I replied, listlessly scraping the branch I was sitting on.

"You should really know better by now," Nogard replied. "You really don't know do you?"

"No, I don't," I said coolly. "If I did know, I'd know how to remove our gills."

"Larkin has them too," Nogard replied. "Does your precious daughter Shalimar have them?"

"I...I don't know," I said, sitting up and looking back towards my house.

Sensing Nogard hovering above my shoulder, I twitched a little when she whispered into my ear, "Ka-boom..."

Opening my mouth to say something, I saw a mushroom cloud of fire and smoke flare upwards from where my home was--where Shalimar, Wynn, Tikki, Ikkit, Toshi, Bubba, Foxxy, Fluffy, the Louies, and the Dinos were. A split second later, I was bowlled over by a shockwave of heat so intense that my skin was singed and my clothes were burned. Slammed against a large boulder, I collapsed--not to wake up until much later.
