To bear the seed...

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 1517

"And the saddest part is, my dear, I've already gotten my revenge. I don't need to do anything more..." The dragon chuckled evilly, then traced a few symbols into the sand near Astra.

Suddenly, the sigils in the dust flared to life, glowing. Astra felt as if her entire body was retreating in on itself. It was not altogether wrong, either, as she saw the fur shrink back into her skin, her human form regained, for now. Slowly, she recovered her ability to speak.

"Why? Why change me back now?" she asked the dragon.

"Oh, my dear, you still don't get it. Perhaps you thought from the rather...rapid onset of the disease that you were trapped in that form? Hardly. I have merely restored you to your normal state for this...astronomical alignment." the dragon continued, chuckling all the while.

"I...I don't understand," Astra stammered.

"You will, my dear, you will..." The dragon laughed. Then, the all too familiar feeling of magickal translocation hit Astra and all went black...

When she awoke, she was fully, and sensibly clothed for once. She even had her weapon. However, a sense of dread filled her when she saw the scene that greeted her.

  1. Astra was outside of a castle, in the Lordship of North Umbria. It was night, and a crescent moon illuminated the form of Lady Andrea Croix, riding away on horseback.
  2. A structure was visible on the rocks above Astra. It seemed to be a grouping of stone ruins.
  3. Astra found herself in a night encampment with Frederigo. He was whole, and they were settling down for the night, but what did the dragon do to her? What indeed?
