A Dead Body is Always Useful

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 120396

Meanwhile, Lord Fred's body was being retrieved. Belboz had an assistant whom we haven't met as yet. He was named - as was traditional - Igor. Igor knew that his master, being a necromancer, always had a use for corpses. And the one that he had just stumbled upon - quite literally - seemed to have died only recently. That was good, as an unrotted body meant that, when it was reanimated, bits were far less likely to fall off. So he commenced to drag the stiffening corpse through the tunnels in the direction of Belboz's lair.

While Igor was busy with this, Astra had been continuing to shrink and becoming more and more alarmed, until eventually she finished at no more than six inches tall. She had kept the extreme curves that Belbox had given her, and looked like an amazingly sexy doll.

She looked at the pieces of chalk uncertainly. The unpredictable unpleasant effects that touching them could cause had been painful enough when she was her normal size. Now she wondered if at her reduced size trying to grab one to draw a door on the wall might actually prove fatal. Even if it didn't, using one to draw would be difficult, maybe even impossible, due to how big and heavy it would be in comparison to herself. Even if she managed to draw a door and it became real, she would have to hope that it was unlocked, as the golden key would be too heavy for her to lift.

  1. She decides to make the attempt. Perhaps she would get lucky and there would be no unpleasant consequence this time. And even death might be preferable to her current situation.
  2. She decides the risk is far too great.
  3. Belboz is distracted from watching Astra, and trying to decide what to do with her, by Igor's arrival with Fred's corpse.
  4. Minestus decides that, entertaining as this has been, it's time to retrieve Astra from Belboz's clutches.
  5. We flash back to when Belinda decided to betray Astra. She had always secretly been envious of her elder sister.
