Chapter Four: The Temple of Beltza Atarabi
Odd dreams haunt the young gnome thru the night, not quite nightmares, but memorable in their oddity.
The party was riding thru the woods on a trip to the beach, but they were riding a single hippopotamus. A huge beast, with a bright colorful saddle for six, red and gold fabrics, tassels and bells. It's huge cavernous mouth held all their trucks and suitcases.
They came to a cliff that rose above them, leading up into a sky which looked like the ocean. Birds flew all upside down and caddy-wumpus, crying out in what sounded like barks and meows.
The party climbed to the top of the cliff, only to be frightened by a fearsome beast, a flying elephant! It's massive trunks bore a wide array of fruits, and it turned out friendly enough that they could snack on his juicy pears, grapes and oranges. He spoke delicate elvish, in a surprisingly high pitched voice, and told them all about the proper way to mulch spread mulch.
After they had bid the friendly pachyderm adieu, they were accosted by a massive creature, wings and head like a giant eagle, but with the body of a gorilla. It swooped down, and tried to pick up Delta in his massive finger like toes, but she stumbled, and upon hitting the ground, woke up.
"What a dream," she muttered to herself, grabbing a towel and heading for some private spot for her morning ablutions. Once she had finished, she started a porridge with apples bits in it, and cinnamon on top for breakfast, and a nice spot of hot tea for everyone who wants some.
