An Elfin Rose Blossom saves a wolf...

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 11818

Both elfin and human who used to be called Melissa turn along with the others and look towards the sounds of battle nearby....

Now, we have an interesting situation here.

Aundria the Brown, Li'reth, Ke'lan, Andrea, and Dragon Fred are one of several search teams looking for the elder D'Honaires. Astra the wolfwoman (let's call her Astra 8a for convenience) had detected Andrea's scent in the wind, mistaken it for the Andrae that had become a werewolf like her, and had homed in on the direction of the scent....only to run afoul of the deadly Ghillie Dhu. Astra yelps and then gives off a choking scream as the fell creature pauses in consternation when Li'reth, the nearest of the search party members dashes out from the bushes and levels something at the murderous creature.

She had been issued a phasor by Probe (who had enough foresight to have a few stashed away on various places on his person.....just in case) so she could aid in the search and not worry about being unarmed. A phasor, as one may know, has no recoil when fired. A regular gunpowder handgun several others had would tear itself out of her slim elfin hands if she fired it. Also, there is the fact that there was an Astra out there under the sway of the full Moon. A silver bullet would kill her, but the idea here was to save the poor woman. Phasors were the thing.

She'd use a bow and arrow like her husband, with elfshot laced arrowheads.....but she was still only beginning to learn how to use one.

Yes, phasors were the thing.

So, the Ghillie Dhu screeches in pain as the heavy stun envelopes his body. Astra 8a gives off a whimper and passes out in pain from the combined effect of the phasor fire backlash AND the jarring inpact of her body hitting a tree. The tool of vengeance of the Unseelie court turns back from where he'd thrown the wolfwoman and turned to tear the annoying elfin lady apart....only to stagger back in pain as more phasorbolts from those who'd run to join with Li'reth....and then falls to it's knees when a surprise hit's it in it's chest.

"Oak and ash!" it gasps, "What traitor of the Court uses elfshot on me?!"

(Author's note: elves on Astra 8's world didn't steal this magical ability from the Faire folk so long ago......).

It groans and tries to rise when it comes face to face with.....yet another surprise!

"You aren't as you should be," Anina the hamadryad whispers softly as her form glows, "Be so now....."

The Abomination groans in protest as it's body coninues to rise against it's will. Arms stretch as if reaching for the sky.....and bark forms and leaves sprout.

A stately tree stands in place of what had been the Ghillie Dhu.

Anina smiles and turns to look at the unconscious werewolf at her feet.

The others nod, setting their phasors BACK to heavy stun (after having set them for "kill" upon finding the Ghillie Dhu).

  1. "I think we've found our Astra by the color of her hair," the hamadryad observes as Dragon Fred levitates the prone form and takes her back to the main group around the TARDISes......
