The Shocking Truth Is Revealed

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 13197

"You were so easily fooled," 'Jarlath' said. "Didn't it strike you as odd that your brother should somehow find you and make his appearance just after the hellhound had run off? Had you forgotten that Velus was a shape-changer? 'Accidentally' making Astra invisible was all part of my act of pretending to be a none too competent young magic user." "How did you know what Jarlath looked like, so you could impersonate him?" Fred asked. "Once I'd learnt that the King was sending Lord Frederigo D'Honaire - which thanks to my magic I found out several days before you arrived at the Southern Caves - it was not hard to do some research into your family, including finding out what Jarlath looked like. But it was more amusing initially to pretend to be a friendly dog."

"So what now?" Fred asked. "Now I shall bring you to my master, the true dragon-mage Minestus, who will decide what to do with you." "And supposing I decline?" Fred said, his hand on his sword-hilt. "You should know that we already have the Princess Astra. She's visible again now, by the way. Whilst her fate is unlikely to be particularly pleasant whatever you do, I can assure you that it will be much worse should you be foolish enough to resist."

  1. Hoping that Velus was bluffing, and that Astra was still free, Fred drew his sword.
  2. Suspecting that Astra's fate would be the same whatever he did, Fred drew his sword.
  3. Fred did as he had been bid and followed Velus.
