" Howdy partner," yelled the Rancher. "What can I do for you today?"

Me, Leo and Piper all stared in amazement at the incredibly big man and his two headed dog. "Woah big dog!" said Leo. The dog growled at him and pounced, and landed with both his mouths in Leo's face. I whipped out my coin and flipped it and my sword appeared in my hand. I was about to turn the dog into minced meat when the giant grapped me and lifted me over my shoulder.

"Let go of him!" yelled Piper, pulling out her dagger.

"Move and I'll tell Orthus to rip out your little friends throat out," warned the Rancher.

We all froze and the dod kept on growling.
