You walk on a trail made of unusual stuff. Instead of paved dirt you trod on sand! Hot sand too... You feel your feet becoming slightly warm, still bearable, from it. A warm lizard scampers by quickly, flicking his green tongue. Slowly it becomes more and more uncomfortable as the temperature rises. You soon start jumping, the hot sand under your feet steaming and burning. Suddenly a wall of fire leaps up in front of you, causing you to gasp! forgetting about your hot feet you stare. Out of the wall comes a figure of a creature.  You gasp, not realizing that your feet have cooled off, and the sand is no longer hot. The creature grins mischeviously, Always have to make a dramatic entrance. you blink at this dog like creature. She smiles Hello, I am a melcey, perhaps you have met another of my kind? you can vaugly remember another, but shake your head anyway. She nods, slightly surprised. Ah, well a melcey I am. A dog relative, but much smarter- an more magical.you nod and wiggle your toes. My name is Phinx, a fire elment. you understand this, rubbing your scorched feet. She blushes slightly, and with a poof of smoke she's gone. You wonder where she went to, but shrug and walk on, the sand no longer hot. As you walk a little further you see a spring where a brook emerges. You sit and rest your feet in the refreshing waters. The scenery is simple but the sound is musical. Suddenly you hear a rustle in the bushes and when you look up, there's a little head!  You blink in surprise, but when you look again, the head is gone. You look around the bushes and try to remember what it looked like. It was greenish and resembled a Melcey. Maybe it was, or maybe it wasn't. You search around some more and notice prints that also look like a dog/cat mix. Maybe it was a melecy, that is the likely option in your mind. You shrug and walk on.
