Best we put you out for this....

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 15709

"Though....I must say I fear I am under some type of curse," Astra finally finishes up, looking down at herself.....

"You are indeed," the previously hooded elven woman says softly and sadly, agreeing, and then barks out a harsh, alien sound word......and Astra looks up in a look of betrayal.....and then falls to the ground, snoring like a rather untuned chainsaw.

Best we put you out for this, Morganna (the formerly hooded elfin woman) sighs, beginning the magical examination, Being awake interferes with some of the more delicate spells here.....

Wonder if she sounds like that due in part to her transformation, Rugen thinks idly to himself, looking at the woman. She only has a few tufts of red hair left on her head now, but ironically much of the rest of her body is now covered by a fine fur which is continuing to grow even as he watches, minute changes only visible to his elven eyes...... The elf idly notes that the color of the fur clashes with the clothing that she's still wearing.

Oh, and isn't that a relevant observation for the problem here and now! Rugen thinks to himself in disgust. Well, time to let my wife to her magic.....to tell if this woman is savable or not.....

For a brief moment, Rugen's young seeming face showed all the years he'd lived.... Not in wrinkles or other physical marks...... Rather something less concrete than that....more like a look in his eyes. The look spoke of a person who'd lived thousands of years and seen some rather strange things. They were the eyes of a person who'd voluntarily followed his wife into the realm of the "new style" of Champion of Rules and Agents. In that case, he was the second oldest Champion of that type....with Morganna Wordeni, his wife....being the oldest (being the first of the "old style" Champions (Elric being a prime example of the old) to be convert over to the newer style. And in those thousands of years (over ten thousand by his count), this.....curse....brought back a shiver of recognition. Rugen prayed that it wasn't what he thought it was....

The other elves looked at each other, not sure just what about this fur covered woman had set them on edge like that. There were the home-grown versions of unseelie creatures on Rifts Earth, but this had a different.....taste than anything that they'd felt before. These "good" elves feel a natural antipathy for a "Terran" unseelie (or those becoming "Terran" unseelie) being even if they'd never encountered one before.

Oh, but the feel it now...and probably feel much more in their futures, as long as they'd be. Long it would be, for all of the elves of Morganna's blood....her children actually..... would encounter much in the coming years as Champions.....what with them all having accepting the offer as many other children of Champions had or would in the future.... This, by the way, made Rifts Earth the largest population of Champions at around approximately 100,000! That many and their story on Rifts Earth.....well, that's a long story in and of itself. The general history of Rifts Earth is episodes 7829, 7830, 7837, 7838, and 7839. Morganna's story is in episode 7840. Thus you'll see that the odd lives that Champions lead and theodd places end up isn't just for those of Terra Prime!!

  1. "All this and we were just waiting around to help Queen Astra and the Gunslinger get to their next destination safe and sound," Morganna sighs as she finishes up her magical examination.
