The lad, now completely disabled, stumbled about in confusion. "Don't
worry," he assured them. "I'll be fine." Blood continued to pour freely
from his sickening wounds. "By the way, my name's Talbot." Talbot then fell to the ground, dead from blood loss. An uncomfortable silence resulted. "On to the dragon?" asked Astra hopefully. Fred and Velus declined, and left the caves. Fred turned in a report about Astra, and she became a wanted murderer, and supposed insane maniac. Velus retired to the country, married a sheep herder, and lived out his days in relative happiness. Astra? She thought about her actions. She really sat there and thought about them. She thought about them until the guards showed up in the caves and arrested her. She thought about them as she was arraigned and then sentenced to life imprisonment on reason of insanity. She thought about her actions within her padded cell over at Hevram, the floating prison. She thought of these things, and really decided to turn over a new leaf and stop randomly hacking up people. "I think I am better now," she announced to absolutely no one, as she was alone in her cell. It was six years after she had murdered poor Talbot. "Shit," she said.
