Teri Berry snapped off her karaoke machine and sighed as she looked at the handfull of nuts and greens that were to be her dinner for the umpteenth time. However fine is was, living as a renegade monk on the lam from her rigid monastary, the food was somewhat unappealing.
As she was chewing the tough nuts, her nose caught an unmistakeable whiff of roasted meat. Her mouth instantly watered and she looked around. Her squinty eyes caught a faint wisp of smoke rising up only a few hundred yards away. She scrabbled to her feet and slung the karaoke machine over her shoulder with familiar ease. She ambled off silently, allowing her nose to lead the way.
Shortly, she was rewarded with a glimpse upon a small clearing. She was startled to spy a youth and a reptilian creature companionably enjoying what appeared to be freshly roasted rabbit. Her mouth watered again as she stared hungrily into the clearing. She started forward eagerly, a greeting ready to burst from her mouth.
"What are you thinking?" she heard a voice whisper harshly, "They could be minions of evil!" the voice added urgently as rather scruffy angel of light appeared at her elbow.
"Whoever they may be, they appear friendly and easily befriended by the likes of me." Teri replied in an offhand manner. "Besides, I walk in the light with an angel or three, what harm can find me?"
"Don't be so trusting and you may survive to fulfill your destiny!" another voice replied as a tall angel with dark hair and tattoos of angel script on his arms admonished.
"Yeah, what he said" a third angel added in a bored voice as he cleaned his fingernails with his flaming sword.
Teri rolled her eyes condescendingly but stopped moving forward and crouched down to observe the two in the clearing.
