Yahtzee woke with a start. The previous night he had planned to head towards his old home city however darkness had fallen to quickly and he had had to make camp in an unknown location. Now that it was light he finally realized where he was and the reason he had been so abruptly woken up. He had fallen asleep in the middle of a miner camp somehow bypassing the security without even realizing it and it too was starting to wake up and get to work. [I]Hopefully I can get out of here sharpish like.[/I] He thought to himself with a small smile at the strangeness of it all. As he got to his feet he moved over to Salamander and gently woke his friend who climbed up his body and clung to his back like an over heavy backpack before falling asleep again. "Lazy lizard." Yahtzee muttered playfully as he started trying to backtrack his steps and get out somehow. Last night's luck though had faded and he had barely taken a step before a loud voice behind sounded.
"Intruder! There's an Intruder in the camp!" A loud voice yelled.
"Oh crap." Yahtzee said as he spun around. "no no no no no no! sshhh! Quiet! I'm leaving! see?" Yahtzee said quickly as he started backing off however the man, Yahtzee assumed he was a guard, charged him and swung at him with his arm knocking Yahtzee over. 

The motion had finally woken Salamander who alighted from his pack and circled the two quickly examining the grounds. The guard's attention snapped to the dragon and Yahtzee took this oppertunity to get into a crouching position and launch his fist at the guard followed by his entire body. His attack connected at the guards chin and with the amount of force behind it it was enough to knock over and daze him. "Come on Salamander!" Yahtzee yelled as he turned and sprinted towards the nearest gate. As he got there he saw two more guards and laughed. "You take the one on right!" He yelled up at Slamander before picking on an extra burst of speed and leaping at his target. In midair flames raced over Yahtzee almost like a complete suite of armor and his punch hit the guard with the force of a small explosion sending him crashing into a nearby pillar. Yahtzee tried not to think too hard about the man as he ran out of the mine, his fire dying down. In the meantime Salamander swooped down on the other man and unleashed a powerful jet of fire at him however the man escaped relatively unharmed and ran back to inside camp.

A minute or two of running had past before a growling wine sounded behind them. Yahtzee shot a look over his shoulder and groaned as he tried to push his tired muscles harder. Behind him was an all terrain buggy that was fast catching up to him. "What have you guys got against me?!" He yelled back to them. Suddenly he felt his body leave the ground and the wind rushing over his body as he soared through the air. [I]Holy crap I'm flying! This is awesome! [/i] was his first thought followed closely by [I] I may have just tripped.[/I] "Oh bugger." Was all he actually said before the ground rushed back up to him and he slammed into it once more. There was a rattling noise from the buggy and the ground around seemed to pop up puffs of dirt. Yahtzee rolled onto his back and looked at the machine. "They're shooting at me!" He said in disbelief as the opened fire once more. "Salamander!" He yelled to his companion who understood and swooped down to his aid. The dragon was small but big enough that it could, with some difficulty, carry Yahtzee on short flights if necessary. Salamander resumed his normal position as overweight backpack but this time with his wings flapping madly. It took a moment to get a rhythm going but soon Yahtzee saw the ground drop away once again. "Holy crap I'm flying! This is awesome!" He yelled out loud as they opened fire again. The bullets missed widely as his guardian easily dodged to the side of the attack as the soared towards a nearby mountain range.

It several hours later and Yahtzee felt completely lost. On the upside they had escaped the car but on the downside the little bit of food and water they had had reached it's end. Still something felt as though it was pulling at him and without fully understanding why Yahtzee continued walking with a healthy amount of stubborn determination. By now they were standing at the lower edge of the mountains they had just climbed over and it was fast becoming dark once more but the incessant pulling made stopping for a rest seem trivial. As Alex blindly walked forward he saw little of the small amount of ruined nature that by now surrounded him. Instead he focused on just moving forward.
"...form of heat right?..." Yahtzee heard the sound of voices somewhere fairly close by and he narrowed his eyes and dropped low as he tried to get closer. 
As he managed to get close enough to see what was going on he saw flash of light followed by cursing. and he tried to piece together what had happened. In a small clearing stood several people around a pile of dried wood and from the pieces of conversation he had heard he guessed they wanted to have it a fire. He grinned to himself. Maybe he could do some actual good here and not get attacked. Starting fires had always been his area of expertise and he couldn't help but grin as he closed his eyes and focused his power before getting to his feet and releasing it from an outstretched hand. Fire exploded from his palm and landed on the ground in the form of one of the huge circus tigers he used to see often. The tiger made a silent roar before abruptly leaping at the pile of wood causing it to ignite in a cheery flame.
"So can I just start with 'Please don't attack me!' and we can take it from there?" Yahtzee asked as he somewhat nervously left his hiding spot. "I'm Yahtzee by the way and if by chance you do decide to attack me..." Yahtzee paused for a moment thinking. "I will run away. But if you catch me..." Yahtzee paused again. "I can cover myself in fire and I have a dragon protecting me." Right on cue Salamander climbed off of his back and crawled over to the fire before curling up and sleeping again. "Honestly how do you sleep that much!" He snapped him. "Alright but under that facade he is a true terror so... please don't attack me?"
