The Gate...Man?

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 9631

Fred entered the gate and saw the gatekeeper.

He was more than a little surprised. From the gatekeeper's voice, he had expected a rough and burly man. But standing in front of him was a strikinly beautiful, regal woman!

"Hello, brave knight," said the woman, still in the same rough male voice. "I am Angelica, the king's daughter. At last, a worthy knight has come to free me of my curse. Come with me," she said.

"Let me guess," said Fred, "it has something to do with your voice."

"That's right," said the woman. "A great and powerful wizard had asked for my hand in marriage, and I rejected him. To punish me, he put a curse on me so that my voice would be that of a man, until a truly brave and noble knight would face him and defeat him at tiddly-winks."

"Tiddly-winks?!" said Fred, startled.

"Yes," said Angelica. "He is the world champion tiddly-winks player. It's the only thing he's good at, other than putting curses on people."

"And why did you only let me in after you found out about the demon horde?"

"Oh, that," said Angelica, matter-of-factly. "We've had those things for years. They're more annoying than anything else. They only bother truly brave and noble knights, so when you told me about them, I knew that you were the sort I'm looking for. I think I hear some coming right now."

Then, a mighty and massive demon horde came out of the wall, and rushed at Fred! Then, a moment later, they disappeared. Fred was shaking in his shoes, while Angelica was unfazed. "They're a royal pain in the butt," she commented.

  1. Angelica led Fred to the throne room.
  2. Fred woke up. It had all just been a dream.
