Trying a Tough Spell

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 109585

"Well, take every precaution, of course," said Prince Jasper. "But you must bring her back! I was smitten immediately, and fear I can no longer live without her. What if she was kidnapped? Oh, I must have her back at once."

"Of course, my prince," said the wizard, whose name was Peltar, and got to work. It was a quick business preparing and casting the spell to determine her location, since he had seen her so recently, but the teleportation spell made him nervous, as teleportation spells always did to any mage worth his salt. They were so prone to error, and it was always preferable to set up portals, the use of which, within a rounding error, never ended in disaster.

Less than an hour later, he was ready to give it a try, and beckoned Prince Jasper into his chambers, along with a few guards, just in case. Now, at this time, the beautiful young woman he had been promised was trekking through a dense forest, had already broken one of her shoes, and was covered in dirt and bug bites. She had not managed to cover much ground, which was unsurprising considering her diminished stride and her unfamiliarity with this land. She was not thinking she was home free, but it had not occurred to her that she might begin one pace in this forest, and end that same pace back in the castle.

In Peltar's workshop, he began to chant, and the runes he had drawn on the floor began to glow. Fred - or Lilith, if you will - suddenly felt strange, almost nauseous. And Peltar cast his mystic spell.

  1. Lilith appeared in the workshop and, aside from promptly vomiting, seemed none worse for the wear.
  2. A handsome and rather effeminate but mute man appeared in the workshop, clad in a dress that was far too small for him.
  3. Lilith appeared in the workshop, but she had been disfigured drastically, and was now quite ugly to behold.
  4. A statue finely crafted out of mud and sticks, one which looked an awful lot like Lilith, appeared in the workshop.
  5. Lilith appeared in the workshop, appearing horribly confused, not seeming to recognizing her surroundings at all.
  6. Nothing seemed to happen. In fact, Lilith had indeed been teleported, but not to the intended destination.
  7. Nothing seemed to happen. In fact, though Lilith's body had not been teleported, her mind had been, and had found a receptacle in the body of Peltar's cat Ambrose, who was sleeping nearby.
  8. Lilith appeared in the workshop, and immediately fell down dead. This was because her body had teleported, but not her mind. Thus, her spirit remained in the forest.
