a girl's voice

A girl's voice says..."I want you to teach me stuff.."  Man's voice...."What should I teach you....information, or wisdom?" Girl's voice..."Both."  This is a sound bit snippet heard between songs on the radio on Sunday afternoon....a late Spring day in the mundane realm.  Meanwhile, back at the Dragon and the Owl, we have had a few whiskeys, and decide to go pay our respects to the Dragon.  We go behind the bar and out through the happy kitchen, down the back stoop, and up the path towards the cave mouth.  The very air swarms with magic and fey glamour....a vast coolness and a sharp metallic smell pass over us as we enter the dark passage, and press on into the cavern.....Most people would have more common sense.....But we are not known to be common or sensible, I'm afraid.  Cool and dry near the entrance become warm and dank the deeper we go into the lair of the ancient lizard.....a baleful red light flares and recedes somewhere ahead in the gloom, our Dragon snoring fire, as is his wont sometimes?  Soon we hear the deep rumble of the fire-breath....hmmm...would it be wisdom the wake the Dragon?
