Everyone roared with laughter at Belboz's interruption, except for Astra, whose face reddened again.
"No!" she shouted. "Please let me finish. I was on a quest to find myself. All Aqualarian noblewomen go on such a quest when they come of age. Each woman finds herself in a different way, but it is always by undertaking some difficult task. Only by facing the ultimate challenge can you find out who you really are." She paused, having an uncomfortable feeling that she had spoken those words - or at least some very similar ones - once before. "And you found out that you were a seductress," Belboz said. Astra scowled. For a necromancer, Belboz had behaved pretty well towards her up until now. It was a disappointment that, now that he was a little the worse for drink, he was showing himself in his true colours. Ignoring the interruption, she went on: "It was a long journey, but after two weeks I finally arrived at the Northern Caves - that's the Southern Caves to Allarians, of course."
