The Moon-Curse
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 1424
|
Astra ruefully examined the black symbols on the skin of her arms. She had
no idea what phase the moon was now in. And deep underground as she was,
she had no way of observing the sky to find out. The next rising of the
full moon could be anything from a matter of minutes up to four weeks
away. Nor did the knowledge that the scroll had imparted to her include
just what change she would undergo or for how long the change would
persist. She knew that a wolf was the traditional form, lasting till dawn,
but anyone with the power to imbue a scroll with a curse like this might
well come up with something more original. Suddenly, she heard noises, voices. One she recognized. It was Lord Frederigo. At least she had found him. She heard a dog barking as well. She pondered whether she should go to him now, even though she was cursed, or whether she should flee.
