Nathan awoke to a scene from a fantasy film.  A fire being was assaulting some sort of algae tentacled beast.  One of the tentacles was wrapped around his leg and was pulling him toward the pond, so he supposed that it was the bad guy.  He started unwrapping the tentacle as quickly as possible, trying to free himself.<br/><br/>Just as he freed himself, and moved back from the pond, he spotted what he could only term as an elf.  She was beautiful and wielding a large staff.   He backed away from the pond on his hands and knees, watching for the moving tentacles, which were now on fire and writhing in pain.  In fact, the whole algae creature seemed to be drying up.<br/><br/>Nathan yelled "What is that thing!"  He pointed at the algae monster and he struggled to his feet, slipping on the wet ground around the pond. The creature was splashing water here and there in its struggles.  "What is that fighting it too?"  He was, he felt, a little freaked out.
