Robert and Astra were in the palace's "throne room". Being by far the largest room, it had been the main location of last night's drunken orgy, as the number of empty rum bottles strewn around attested. When Astra had left in high dudgeon after slapping Fogeno, it had been crowded. But now, apart from herself and Robert it was deserted. "Where did everyone else go?" she asked him. "I'd have expected your hotties to be waiting on you hand and foot, not to member Fred and my brother - I mean sister."
"You remember that I said that there was something that I needed to tell you? After you left the party last night, Fogeno made his final wish." Astra had a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. Revolting as the drunken orgy had been, and Fogeno in particular, she should never have let the captain out of her sight. "Is that why we seem to be the only ones here?" "Yes. He used his wish to transport everyone but you and me back to Hespan: Fred, Alexis, the hotties, even the palace flunkeys. Said they'd all fetch good prices on the slave market." "But if it was money that he wanted, all he had to do was wish for it." "But then he'd still have been stuck on this island." "So why are you and I still here?" "He said that we were both too much trouble, what with your slapping him and me - according to him - being a treacherous scumbag. I was cut to the quick; I'd treated him like a brother! But look on the bright side. We can start our own dynasty on this island. And there's still my monkeys to look after us." Astra shuddered.
