Betrayal at Bookpoint!

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 10756

Nothing happened.

Belboz blinks, not believing. He then waves his had several more times rapidly, each time more frantic than the first.

Fred looks over at Belboz in exasperation.

"Oh, but tell me you're now having trouble with your spells, you old fool!" she snaps, at the end of her rope with Belboz.

Belboz (with eyes closed), meanwhile, is concentrating and reaching for the Ka, the wellspring of magic, within himself.

"It's....not there," he whispered, feeling her heart freeze in dread.

"I can't reach my magic!" he shouts, eyes flying open in wild fear, "It's like.....!"

"You never had it?" a snickering voice says from behind them both.

A wave of magic envelopes them both, and they freeze solid, unable to move anything. Not even to breath. However, the magic that holds them in place also holds the need at air at bay, as well.

"Allow me to introduce myself, dear damsel," a young, plump and unpleasant looking teen in wizard apprentice robes says gaily, coming forward into Fred's view, "I am now Elaine, Master of Magic.....and former underly appreciated and overworked apprentice to our now pretty little Belboz here.

"Who never appreciated all that I did for him!" Elaine says savagely, twirling and spitting into Belboz's face, "Who'd said in private to another he was dismissing me for a trifling matter, after all I had done for him. Not good enough at magic, eh? Oh, but when the Amazons whispered to me while you had me translating the Prophecy for you....instead of doing it yourself, you fool!.....they promised me so much. Then, when I read in the Prophecy Scrolls the part warning about MY little betray.....with the aid of the Necromonicon that the sly little spy offered.....I knew that if I withheld that little bit of information....you'd fail to realize the danger.

"Now, the Amazons will sweep the lands for we are past the point of ‘no return,'" the apprentice gigled, pulling out a black and red, evil looking, book that Fred instinctively drew away from (inside) in dread.

"With the superior magic now at my command....it was easy enough to supercede my foolish Teacher's spell," the Apprentice giggled, "and transform him into a little lass similar to what had been called for in the prophecy.....sans his magical ability. Similar alterations were made to our fair knight/lass here....also locking away the means of him defeating my....associates."

"Now, for a few last alterations and a little journey," the boy giggled, flipping open the Necromonicon.

  1. Fred's and Belboz's body shudder, shimmer, and flow like water as Elaine begins to chant.
  2. Elaine spoke a few words, and a glowing portal opened in frot of the two girls.
