"Hey!" she shouted, giving enough pulling force that Eemp had no choice but to totter over sideways towards that mannequin thing. "You can't eat that! I'm gonna eat that!"
"How about nobody eats it?" Alex scowled, finally wrenching the sword free of the bisected leg. To his annoyance, he was ignored.
It seemed Rong was being ignored too. The leg-mouth seemed to chomp blindly for a few seconds, trying to find the strange, hard substance.
Rong reacted a little more violently at being ignored. She got ready to launch a stream of fire again. The flames were almost dancing in her mouth when Right, thinking quickly, came from below and forced her head upwards so that the fire shot harmlessly in the air, far above the top of the trees, to his relief.
"Could you think of doing something besides setting random objects on fire?"
"Hey, it's lifeless, nobody cares. C'mon, I can't even burn that thing?"
"No. Eemp, go across that line."
"Then I'm keeping an eye on it," Rong announced to the general public.
"Unfortunately, I think we've a more important role to fill." Right looked down one of the paths leading out of the clearing. Though it was clearly a path, nature didn't seem to comprehend the fact. Even in the dim light, the dragon could see branches interlacing across, ready to catch any unsuspecting traveler's head. Brambles snaked the ground, ready to trip anybody not paying attention. It was probably even worse farther along. "This forest has a rather meaningful name. We'll need a light source, and it seems I'm one of the few here that can supply light. I volunteer to be in the front to illuminate the path. Once we go in, the trees will cover the moon, but the increased darkness will also allow me to glow even brighter."
