Hospital visitations: Dragon's Tail pt.2
''Had to be today, didn't it?'' My mind keeps me on my toes with it's constant enquiries, posing questions to me, for which i have no answer. I have only met this fox once before, and although the encounter lasted only a number of minutes, it had changed my life. ''Excuse me dear'' a nurse brushes past me. I'm lost in such a big hospital, and don't quite know where my saviour is.
''Sir?'' I address the most senior looking figure I can see for help with directions. Handing him a piece of paper with the the name Daxiusii scrawled onto it, accompanied by a picture of the fox as well. ''I'm looking for this fox, do you know where he is?''
''Yes, ma'am'' the tall equine before me declares, he seems slightly bemused, perhaps finding it comical that I need directions. ''He's down that hallway, take the third right, where it say's male canines, and just continue down there until you see his name either written on a bed or on the door of a room''. Thanking him I hurry down the hallway. My mind racing, remembering that day when my life changed forever.
12/4/2010:
''Daxiusii?'' I thought to myself, ''what an unusual name''. Never-the-less, he was helping me, I was going to escape from Ekel. That brutish dragon had used me for so long I had given up hope of escaping. Feeling a pair of paws clumsily try to remove the tape over my muzzle, I immediately began bracing for a stinging feeling, only to find out just how slow daxiusii was at removing tape. ''Dax'' I thought to myself ''just rip it all off, stop stalling'' but of course, the posh twerp was trying to be as gentle as possible. Suddenly I felt another pair of paws begin exploring my body in the lightless atmosphere of the room. Too rough for daxiusii, I quickly concluded that it was the wolf he'd brought in with him. Feeling the rope around my paws and footpaws being shredded I quickly reached up and ripped off the tape on my muzzle myself. Leaving daxiusii a little shocked.
''It was almost halfway off!'' He declared, sparking only laughter from myself and the wolf. ''either way, we'd better hurry and get out of here'' with that, the laughter stopped dead. ''Ekel'' I muttered. ''Thats the dragon's name is it?'' The wolf asked me. Which I quickly confirmed. As we began heading for the exit, it struck me that I hadn't thanked anyone. ''Thank you, daxiusii and...'' I paused, i couldn't remember the wolf's name, I'd overheard the two talking as they were entering the appartment, and I'm almost sure it began with an ''L'' but I didn't really want to address him as a letter. ''Domkope vixii'' the wolf told me, I'm certainly glad I didn't call him ''L'' now.
Exiting the appartment door daxiusii quickly states ''We can't hang around for much longer, this was just going to be a quick in-and-out job for us, dragon features will soon be back, and I believe that you should find somewhere safe to stay'' contemplating his options, he quickly gave me details of a rabbit he knows, who rents out appartments. He tells me he's friendly, and that if I just mention the fact that I've been sent by daxiusii, I should be put up for only as much rent as i can afford. Thanking Daxiusii and Domkope, I make my way to the stairs, to make my way, to what might just be my new home. Aware that neither of the two asked my name, they must want to try and forget what they've done, in case Ekel comes knocking...
