Ani Peraveda Melonball Wandninja Glister Gloaming THE FOURTH.

While all this drama was going on down the hall, Videro kept returning to those darn on/off switches, on the statues.  Switches!  Preposterous.  He leaned down, with  his eyes still on the pedestal, picked up his fallen cloak, murmuring about dust, and shook it out.  An angry purple ball of wooly fluff tumbled out, deep indigo, nearly the color of Videro's rich velvety cloak.  The fluff swooped up, grabbed Videro by the point of his collar, and slapped him smartly across the face.  It actually stung a little bit!  "I was SLEEPING you fiend, you insensitive jerk", the fluff spat.  Videro's eyes focused.  There was a pixie an inch away from his nose, with one foot planted firmly on his sternum.  An angry pixie.   "Just...just...how...dare you. I am Ani Peraveda Melonball Wandninja Glister Gloaming the FOURTH!  I demand an apology!!!" she sputtered, and continued on cursing and shaking him by the point of his ornate collar. Videro immediately tuned her out, while he tried to put together just how this being got into his clothes, his precious clothes.

Earlier that week, Ani took residence among the wings of the baby dragons. It was dark, it was warm, and there was all kinds of interesting traffic.  She had fun flashing around, terrorizing the tourists, pinching them and stealing their baubles.  Her minuscule attention span was already totally over this hobby, and Ani was making to pack up and wander to the next dungeon.  That's when the Very Interesting group bumbled into her lair.  Oh, they nearly got themselves slain by the big guy in the middle! Hysterics.  Moving in for a closer look, she nested at the feet of the big guy, and watched them shuffle around the perimeter of the room, like some kind of silly dancers.  Stuffing both tiny fists into her mouth, to stifle her peals of laughter, she just hung back and watched.  It got ugly there for awhile, the idiots triggered the baby angels...maybe she should turn them off...but nah, this was too interesting.  They took SO long, though.  Ani slid off the statue, tiptoeing in for a closer look, and nearly tripped over a REALLY soft piece of cloth.  Divine providence!  She snuggled down in it, and watched the adventurers raptly...or till she fell asleep, 3 minutes later.
