A Line in the Sand

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 93628

"I'm afraid that the Dark Ones insist that you must, in front of me - and hence in front of them as well, though at least you won't be able to see them." Reaibn said, apologetically.
Astra gulped down the entire rest of the tankard of wine, and stood up, facing Reaibn. "Right!" she exclaimed. "Look, Reaibn, this is too far. I won't have it!"
"Astra, please," said King Fred, motioning for her to sit down. "I am sure we can discuss these terms with Reaibn here. After all, I am King..."
"HA!" said Astra, grabbing yet another tankard of good red wine. She took a long pull. "Reaibn, either you stop this wedding nonsense talk or I am out of here!"

There was an audible *POP* and Astra vanished. Reaibn sighed, and poured himself some strong whiskey. "Astra?!" said the King, and then he pointed at Reaibn. "You! What have you done with her?"
"I am sorry," said Reaibn, taking another shot. "Whiskey? It is of the utmost quality."
"Sure," said King Fred, a calmness pervading his body, which he dimly recognized was coming from the gem in his crown. "I am sure Astra will come around."
"Absolutely," said Reaibn, pouring Fred a largish portion of whiskey. "She will, for sure, and then everything will be fine. She just needs some time to think about what is best for her and for the kingdom."
"Hear hear!" said the King, downing the whiskey in a gulp. Good stuff.

Meanwhile, down in the castle dungeons, a very naked Astra was chained to the wall. "This again?!" she exclaimed, "HELLLLLLPPPP!" she yelled, struggling to get free. Unfortunately for her, the chains were strong and magically enchanted.

On the plus side, someone did hear her cries for assistance.
