The Never Ending Quest - Episode 1575

"Now, my young were-foxes," Malachi begins. "Before we begin, lets get a few things in order. While I myself have no concerns about clothing, I seem to remember in my studies that humans and most humanoid races like to clothe themselves for modesty sake."

Several of Fred's now too large outfits glow and shrink. Half of them are now suitable for the vixen, and the other is suitable for Fred's new form (i.e. suitable fo a person of around three feet of height and with a fox's tail). Clothed, the demi-foxes look up and see that Malachi is holding a simple golden necklace that has a small emerald setting.

"Next, while I can understand Astra when she says something," the dragonness says. "I doubt that anyone else can. Fred will within a half hour.....final touches of the lycanthropy. Unfortunately, while it enables him to understand the tongue of the fox and the werefox language....it means he'll lose the ability to speak the human tongue. I know that's just thrilling, but.....here's a ring to take care of that language barrier problem. Don't lose them, because I'm not in the market for many freebies."

"Why are you doing this, Malachi?" Fred asks, puzzled. "What's in it for you?" Astra listens in on this, curious.

Malachi studies the demi-foxes, then nods. She sees no real reason why not to tell her the humiliating reason why. True, the reason why is wholely her decision. She could remedy is SO easily, but.....

"It has to do with vows and beliefs.....something that a vanishingly few dragons still follow," the dragonness begins in a low, husky voice filled with sadness.

  1. The dragonness tells "why."
