The Shepherd Boy

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 11903

The boy was aged eleven or so. He was dressed in long flowing robes, and had a swarthy complexion and black hair. No doubt he had never seen fair-skinned people like Fred and Astra before (though at the moment they were more red-skinned). From the way he looked at them as they emerged from the pond, Astra surmised that he might be thinking: Who are these strange people who have been wandering in the desert with most of their skin exposed to the burning sun? She decided to speak to him, though she had little hope that he would understand the Common Tongue spoken in Allaria and Aqualaria. "I am Astra and my friend is called Fred. What is this place?" she asked.

  1. "The hill is called El Saud. The pond does not have a name. The nearest village is Kadiya." That did not leave Astra any the wiser, but at least the boy had understood her.
  2. The boy shrugged uncomprehendingly.
