Don't Eat The Glowing Meat.

A grumbling sound filled the room while Strongbow slept right through it.  Passersby were stopping and looking being it was so loud but he heard nothing.  He was sound asleep in a hammock in the underbelly of Dalaran having the best sleep he has had in what seems like months and nothing was going to wake him up.  Not even if Dalaran had suddenly fallen from the sky.

The grumbling was coming from Fang.  As his custom was, Fang ate everything, he liked everything, everything did not like him however.  He was having kitty nightmares along with his own grumbling stomach and that led to what is commonly refereed to as sleep running syndrome or as Strongbow would say, "What is wrong you you Fang, do you have kick the Tauren Syndrome?"

And so it started.  People watched as Fang was running in his sleep and basically kicking Strongbow in the back while doing so.  If the sound was not enough to wake him surely being kicked over and over would do so right?  Not exactly.  As Fang was kicking Strongbow was adjusting as if he were getting a massage of some sort.  He turned a little to his left, Fang kicked more, then he adjusted again, Fang kicked more, then he adjusted once more and Fang kicked again which was enough to shift Strongbow's weight in the hammock and after a full 360 it rocked a little more and bam, Strongbow was laying face down on the wooden floor.

"Fang?" He said in a low, calm tone, as he turned to untangle his caught foot, "Wake up Fang!"

He pulls at his caught foot as hard as he can and finally gets it out from being tangled up with a thump on the ground.  He shakes Fang a few times but it seems that Fang is out like a light, just like he was only a few moments earlier.  He leans down and picks Fang up and places him in the hammock.

"Keep that warm for me Fang, I'll be right back." 

Strongbow walked up to the stables and there was only one person there.  The little Gnome did not really look like a doctor but maybe he could help Strongbow figured.  He explained that Fang was not feeling well and kicking in his sleep again.  He tried to mend his pet himself.  He checked for any known poisons or diseases he might have and found nothing.

"Have you tried taking him to a Priest?" The Gnome asked.
"He is not dying, he is sick."
"A priest might be able to heal him for you."
"He needs an animal doctor not a person doctor.  When will the animal doctor be in?"
"She will be here at 8 AM if you want to come back.  She does charge for a visit however so if you want to make an appointment be aware you are going to need to pay."
"That is okay.  I'll pay, please make the appointment for me."
"Done, I will see you at 8 AM then."

Strongbow when back to the underbelly and laid in the hammock across from Fang staring at the ceiling as he worried about Fang.  He could hear Fangs claws tapping against the wooden walls as he started to go through remembering all the stuff he had eaten that day.  A squirrel or two that he found running around Dalaran.  A bunny that he got yelled at for eaten.  A few pieces of rhino, some mammoth, some fish that Strongbow had cooked that he shared with him, and some other assorted raw meat.

Nothing out of the normal from what he could think of.  Fang eats like that every day but it had to be something he ate.  As the time passed and it got closer to 8 AM he got up and walked to the sewers to watch some of the people training their skills when he noticed some of the rats walking around the area where glowing.

"That's it!" He yelped.
"Fang, wake up." He yelled as he ran back to the hammocks.

Fang woke up and kitty stretched then jumped out of the hammock and gave a big yawn.  He stomach growled at him and he patted at Strongbows satchel.   That meant he was hungry, but his stomach was still grumbling, loudly even.  Strongbow lead him up to the stables where he was to meet the doctor.

When he walked in he saw a female Gnome, this must be the doctor he thought to himself, and started rambling about Fang eating some glowing rats in the sewers as soon as he walked in.  After he stopped talking long enough to look around he noticed the other guy was not there, the one that had taken this appointment for him.

"Hey Doctor, where did the Gnome guy that was here last night go?"
"He went home.  Did he tell you it would be 5 gold?"
"You look a lot like him, is he your brother?"
"5 gold please."
"Wait a second, you are him and not a her aren't you?"
"Your pet will DIE if you do not pay me 5 gold."
"You will die if you keep lying to me, I know you are him.  Where is the doctor?"
"I'll tell you for 5 gold."
"Aaaaahhhhhhh!"

Strongbow turns around and notices Fang is gone at the exact moment that he hears a scream coming from the north back.  Within seconds Fang turns the corner dashing toward him with a huge grin on his face.

"There is a huge pile of glowing shit in the middle of the bank!" The voice screamed out.

Strongbow smirks and kneels down giving Fang a pat on the head and rubbing his belly.

"Are you feeling better now Fang?"

Fang jumps up on him and starts to lick his face.

"I'll take that as a yes.  Next time you feel like that Fang, go in here."  He said pointing to the stables where the cross dressing Gnome is standing in the doorway.
