But of course, because Night was one of those anti-heros (of the sort that starts out bad, but will usually do the right thing in the end) he expertly performed the Heimlich maneuver on Dawn, and a large chunk of poorly-chewed turkey shot out of Dawn's mouth and splatted against a nearby tree.

Unfortunately, the tree was also allergic to turkey.

Quite obviously, the tree's allergy to turkey had caused it to become a man-eating monster. Quickly, it uprooted itself and advanced on Dawn and Night menacingly; Night threw Dawn at it to give himself time to escape.

Without sparing a glance to see how Dawn fared, Night ran blindly away from the man-eating tree, and in his confusion, found himself face-to-face with a Scylla of the northern shore.
Meanwhile, Dawn stood, unable to move, staring in horror at the lumbering wooden carnivore approaching her--- until a glowing arrow whistled past her and thudded into its mossy "hide," breaking the trance.

Dawn sighed in relief and glanced at her saviour; she was shocked at who she saw.

It was Alaric wearing a dress with a bow in his hand, only god knows what he had been doing.

Fortunately, God isn't telling.

Obviously, Dawn was in the middle of yet another horrific hallucination. At least, she hoped that to be the case, when she saw that there was an army of little green men with pink swords charging at her.

"Darn it, I need to talk to my doctor about this medicine he gave me for my allergy to multiple sentences," she muttered to herself, as the little green soldiers used their pink swords to slice up a blue, life-sized, hydra-shaped birthday cake. "These hallucination side-effects are getting ridiculous."

The face of a litch poped through the wall on other other side of Dawn, "I see you" it called out before going back into the wall.

As Dawn reflected on the possible subconscious meanings of her hallucinations, Night was rather busy screaming at the top of his lungs, for the Scylla, picking up the faint smell of turkey sandwiches still lingering about its soon-to-be-prey, realized it hadn't eaten in far too long a time . . .

Fortunately for Night, his screaming hurt the Scylla's sensitive hearing causing it to retreat. Unfortunately for Night, his screaming woke Alaric up and made him very, very, very, very angry with Night...

Alaric started yelling at Night, it must have been the most abusive speech that Night had ever heard, it was so bad that it even made the guards move away.

It ensued for hours, with Night receiving more and more wounds, but just as Alaric was about to strike his final blow, the pair was interrupted by a stampede of miniature (1 ft. tall), ceramic Alarics that were somehow moving...

Sure enough, they were models from the popular 'Alaric Lawn Gnome' series, with a sizeable family of Rat Lizards beneath.

It was something that no one had ever seen before, Alaric looked at is as a bad omen and managed to scurry off even with his numerous injuries.

Night also ran, screaming, "RUN! IT'S AN ARMY OF 1 FT. TALL CERAMIC ALARICS!" Hearing this (and being unaware that the little Alarics were actually quite real), Dawn clapped her hands together gleefully, saying, "Hallelujah! I'm not the only one who is crazy after all!"

In an instant Night found all the injuries to be healed but that wasn't all, there was a deep feeling within Night that felt it was coming forth.

The next moment, Night was trampled under thousands of Alarics, who shouted in one voice, "Resistance is futile!" Sure enough, all of Cythera was being overrun by these vile 1 ft. Alarics.

Although both Night and Dawn by some miracle managed to escape from the Alarics, they were unable to stop them, and the little ceramics statues quickly laid siege to every major Cytheran city. It was the beginning of the Cytheran Time of Troubles...

It was at times like these that Dawn and Night wanted a super high powered insanely large death ray that only effects 1ft tall Alarics.
