The small and pretty woman then acted. Following the man from a distance, she came to his cave and entered it quietly. She came upon the man where he lay beneath his moss and her heart was filled with warmth for this her saviour. Removing her robes she crawled beneath the blanket and gently woke the man and frightened as he was, for he had so little touching contact with human beings, the feeling that her ministrations gave him filled him with such joy, that his fears subsided as her loving washed over him. High above, the sun god looked down and saw all followed the script of his play and he smiled. The day and night had come and they lay together in his cave listening to a light rain drizzle down outside. The hideous man drifted in and out of sleep. His dreams tortured with visions of both heaven and hell and the threats of the dragon echoing fresh in his ears. He felt the softness of the small and pretty woman against him and was reassured and again allowed himself to drift off to sleep.
