Adolphus woke up with a jerk, and fell out of the tree, dislodging Olivia, who landed with a splat on top of him. “Aaargh – where – what? What?” he yelled, and started chasing his tail round in circles, snapping, until he realised what it was. He stopped, and coughed self-consciously. “Good morning, Adolphus!” said Olivia cheerily. “Erm… er… yes. Hello!” said Adolphus, looking slightly cross-eyed, and trying to focus on the small purple frog in front of him. She clambered up onto his back and then hooked her froggy legs into the cord around his neck. He blinked, and thought very hard, and then remembered what was going on. Of course! It was Olivia! And they were following Max to Castle Gore. They were all going to have a fantastic adventure and do lots of breathing fire and chasing people. Yippee! He soared into the air and started to circle upwards on warm air currents, while Olivia peered down, looking for the right road.
