In the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 108078

"Did the goblins have a death wish?" Astra says. "Abducting a baby dragon, of all crazy things! Its mother won't rest until she finds it."

At that point a loud, angry roar comes from not very far away. "I think she's just found it," Fred says.

"And I don't think that she's going to give us a chance to explain that it wasn't us who took it. You're going to get your chance to fight the dragon of these caves sooner than you thought."

Fred isn't too happy about that. Not only has his injured wing not had a chance to heal, but he hasn't had as much time to learn about his draconic abilities as he would have liked. He will have to hope that his lightning-breathing ability is more deadly than his opponent's ability to breathe fire. Perhaps her anger at what has happened to her baby - and who would ever have thought that she would have a baby? - will cause her to do something rash that will give him a chance. But he feels that he is grasping at straws.

The adult red dragon emerges into the cave on the far side, from a wide tunnel that was big enough to accommodate her. Fred gulps. She is huge, almost twice his own size! Meanwhile Astra gets behind him, as his body offers the only shelter to be had. She might be brave, but she isn't foolhardy enough to try to take on a dragon while unarmed. Plus she has already had one highly unpleasant - and almost fatal - encounter with the beast.

  1. Fred and the red dragon fight.
  2. "I've just scared off the goblins who were about to cook and eat your child," Fred says, putting the aim of his quest - to kill the dragon - on hold. He doesn't expect it to have any effect but the dragon actually stops and listens.
