The Never Ending Quest - Episode 12107

Laying unnoticed in the library room was a book. It was different from all the other books. It was much older, and was written in runes rather than in English like the rest of the books in the library. It contained immense magic power. It was also alive.

It had been created, millennia ago, to serve one purpose. It would record the lives of certain individuals throughout the multiverse, and in other multiverses as well. When the time came, it would pull into this reality the most heroic versions of these individuals into its own timeline so they could accomplish the task its creator had intended. The book did not know what this task was. It had been created merely to observe. To watch. And, when the time came, to act.

For many years, the book had watched. It had followed the lives of various versions of Fred and Astra and some others, recording them in the other books. Then, a signal had been sent. The time had come to act.

So the book had begun to collect versions of Fred and Astra throughout the many worlds it was monitoring. All the peices were in place now, almost.

Soon, the book's creator would arrive. Soon, the time would come.

Fred vaguely recognized the attractive blonde girl who the Astras greeted as Belinda. She was Astra's younger sister, about 18 years old. Fred rememberd her from one of the books in the library, involving how his own brother had teamed up with Astra's sisters on a quest to stop an evil wizard, and had then been drawn into a quest to stop a mysterious evil being known as the Brazen Man.

"Astra!" said Belinda, overjoyed, then was startled to see that there were two of them. The Astras explained to the best of their ability what had happened before, how they had been pulled out of their own universes and sent here.

"And how did you get here?" the alternate Astra asked Belinda.

  1. "Well," Belinda said, "it's a long story..."
  2. Suddenly, if the book could blink, it would!
