Description

It's quiet... Too quiet...

Pompeii growled softly, considering the total silence. It was just after sunset; the bats should have been leaving their roosts and the birds returning to their nests for the night. Something had to be seriously wrong for none of this to be happening.

He turned his great noble head to the sky; the moon was full. That was nothing unusual - it happened every month - so he cast around for another possible reason.

Smoke. He halted and lifted his head again, inhaling deeply for a good sample of the smells on the wind. Apart from the smell of water - he was standing in the shallows of a lake - he could smell humans, leather and horses, as well as smoke and the stench of hot metal. So there were humans about. But they weren't close enough for that to be the reason; Pompeii heard a very faint whinny drifting across the water. As sound traveled farther at night, the humans had to be a very long way off.

There was definitely something strange going on...
