Fred Learns About Ghosts
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 16116

"...you are here because you have not yet crossed over to the other side.
You are still held to this world by a spiritual chain. The only way for
your soul to rest in peace is for you to sever that chain." Fred stared at
Qundarian as the old man stopped after this brief explanation. "What if I
don't want to cross over?" Fred asked of the old man. "What if I want to
return to the living?" "You're dead," Qundarian explained calmly. "There
is no way else to go, except forward. Ye cannot go back." Fred cursed his
luck, as he had been doing constantly since his episode with the snakes
and consequent paralysis, back when he was still alive. "Your best bet is
to break the chain," Qundarian told him. "What must I do to break the
chain, should I care to do so?" Fred asked irritably, and Qundarian
shrugged in response. "Ye have a purpose; there is a reason that you have
not yet completely passed on. It may be that you have to extract revenge
on the one that did this to you, or that you must complete your quest and
defeat the Dragon. I would not know." "How can I do it in this form?"
Fred asked, as Qundarian took a seat on a nearby rock that was large
enough to acommodate him. "You have no physical contact with the world of
the living," Qundarian told him, "but you can still communicate and
accomplish feats, through your mind. It will take some time, but you will
learn...communication has already been established between us, albeit with
a great deal of effort on my part to establish it. You see, I sensed your
spiritual presence as soon as you entered earlier." Fred waited patiently
as the old man stopped to take a deep breath, then continued. "But you're
cursed in this form as well," Qundarian explained, "for every day that you
remain a ghost, you will be visited by a terrible experience...a realistic
vision, a nightmare if you will...and you will be forced to relive the
final moments of your death, as though it were happening all over again."
Fred's stomach would have lurched, had he still been a living being. "And
what time is it now?" Fred asked Qundarian slowly.
