A cow walks into a swamp

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 115746

Freda didn't really see a way around this, and unfortunately, no matter how hard she strained, she couldn't think of any more questions to ask. "Okay," she said, still sounding uncertain. "I'll try."

"You'd best succeed!" said Vycynth. "Here, I will cast a minor enchantment so that you will see the path to the swamp. Beyond that, the gauntlet is said to produce an unearthly glow, so just keep an eye out for that and you should be able to succeed." He waved a hand over Freda's eyes, and she blinked, realizing that a faint, hazy line the color of roses seemed to indicate a path out of the enclosure.

Vycynth went over to open the gate, and said, "I hope to see you soon, Freda."

All at once, Freda was terrified. What had she been thinking? She was a cow! She couldn't quest!

But she knew this was the only real option, so she reluctantly clopped out and began to follow the path.

It led her for days over grassy pastures. She was glad there was plenty to eat, but she felt so vulnerable! She was wide open to attacks from predators. She missed the enclosure terribly.

After three days, she arrived at the edge of a swamp. She felt great trepidation looking at it, but she forced herself to enter all the same. As she plodded through the muck...

  1. she realized her body was changing.
  2. she noticed creatures, mostly hidden, watching her from the swamp.
  3. she began to find she actually really liked this swamp. In fact she couldn't remember why she'd come here, and she certainly couldn't think why she'd ever leave...
  4. she found that nothing was happening. Hey, maybe this swamp wasn't as bad as Vycynth had made it sound like.
