A small jade pot sat on a stone plinth all by itself in a chamber. Without warning, the lid of the hat began to twist and turn as feminine, raspy groaning could be heard coming from within the pot.

Suddenly, the lid popped right off, and out came a coconut sized blue glowing gem, and right behind that came the front half of a full sized blue dragon.

Sisu was an odd sight, her forelegs and front half sticking up out of a pot that was impossibly small for the rest of her body and tail. She looked around as she breathed heavily, and then saw where the Dragon Gem had landed several feet away. Sisu reached for it, only to discover that the gem was out of the reach of her talons by at least 2 or 3 feet.

Sisu looked down at the pot she was sticking out of. She planted her front claws onto the plinth on either side of the pot and pushed while wrenching her body upwards. Sisu's eyes widened when she felt that her body did not move. She gave two more upward jerks, and she still could not free her magically coiled and compressed back half from the pot.

Sisu grunted as she clenched her fists and twisted her body in the pot, trying to unscrew her body out. Then, her eyes widened in fear when she felt the pot begin to tremble and rattle violently. Sisu was suddenly sucked back down into the pot, and would have been sucked in completely if she hadn't quickly grabbed onto either side of the plinth. Now she was just a dragon head and legs sticking out of a jade pot.

Clenching her teeth and growling, Sisu rocked back and forth, moving further and further each time, until she finally fell right off of the plinth and hit the hard stone ground.

SMASH!

Sisu let out a sigh of relief as her entire long body burst free of the pot, her coils lying limp and sprawled out behind her.

Dish then stood up and biskly walked over to the blue dragon gem. She quickly picked it up and held it close to her chest, smiling peacefully as she held it. However, her inner peave was disturbed by a loud hissing sound could be heard coming from all directions. She looked around in confusion, until all four walls of the room sunk into the floor to reveal thousands of lit fireworks, all aimed directly at her.

Sisu gasped loudly, and quickly ldapt towards the iron door. It was locked tight and wouldnt budge no matter how hard Sisu pushed and pulled. She then frantically looked around for a place to escape or to hide. Her eyes then fell upon the shattered jade pot, and her eyes lit up as a clever smile spread across her face.

Sisu held out the dragon gem in her right foretalon, aiming it at the shattered pot. Then, with a determined bit of focus, shot a pulse of dragon magic at the pot. In a flash of blue light, the pot and lid were made whole once again.

"Oh, yeah!" Sisu said in self congratulation, and she got up onto her hind legs, standing tall as she stepped over the pot and placed her left hind foot into it. Her cocky look faded when she realized that her claws were barely fitting into the pot.

Sisu stared down at her foot and said, "Uhhh, okay... Go in. Into the pot. Into the magic pot. C'mon."

Sisu fidgeted her foot, trying in vain to squeeze it into the small space. She then looked up and around at all of the fireworks, their fuses still burning.

Sisu gulped audibly.

"Uh oh," she said, and she stepped out of the pot and snatched it off of the ground witg her left talon. She then grabbed her tail with her right talon and began shoving the end of it into the pot.

"Come on. Come on. Back into the magic pot!" she shouted frantically.

The fuses of the fireworks were halfway burned through.

Sisu held the pot with both talons and desperately shoved her snout into it over and over and over. When that did nothing, she looked around in fear again, spotting the pot lid and still glowing dragon gem. Sisu set the pot back onto the ground and grabbed both the pot lid and gem with her talons. As she did this, she inadvertently stepped into the pot again. The dragon gem flashed again, and Sisu was instantly sucked back into the jade pit seconds before the fire works went off.

BoomBoomBoomBoomBoooooooooom!!!!!

When the sound and smoke faded, the pot lid lifted slightly to reveal one of Sisu's eyes peeking out. The lid then fell back down, and the popped back off, followed by the dragon gem and Sisu's front half.

Sisu lay on the floor fir a bit, sighing in satisfied relief. As she began to crawl forward to pull her body out of the pot, a large rock loosened by the exploding foreworks fell right on top of the pot, still containing Sisu's tail and hind legs.

Sisu's eyes bulged as she felt the rock pin her down. She jerked her body forward, only to find she couldn't move a centimeter. Panicking, Sisu looked at the dragon gem on the floor right in front of her. She made an attempt at reaching for it, but the gem was clearly far beyond the reach of her claws.

Sisu breathed heavily, and then stretched her neck out towards the gem. Her nostrils flared as her beath shot in and out. The gem was only half a centimeter away from her nose, and a look of utter desperation was on her toothy face as she tried to stretch her neck a little bit further.

With neck at its limit, Susi sniffed in hard, trying to suck the gem towards her with her nose. When that didn't work, Sisu opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue to try and just lick the gem. Hope lit up in her eyes when she saw how close her tongue was getting to the gem.

At that moment, another loose rock, this one much smaller than the first one that fell, broke free from the ceiling and landed right on Sisu's head, knocking her unconscious.

However, the rock bounced off if her head and hit the gem, causing it to roll over and touch Sisu's nose. There was a flash, and Sisu teleported away, out of the pot, out of the chamber, and to her newfound freedom she would be shortly waking up to.
