Fred's Curse
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 16216

"...they think I'm a harmless, senile old fool," Qundarian said. "But
that's neither here nor there. Come, I'll being teaching you that which
you need to know to communicate with those who can help you." Fred

grown weary in his old age. As Qundarian slept, Fred watched, painfully

experiences awaited. Or the second...depending on one's perspective.
Fred felt the paralyzing effects of the snakes' victims permeating his
veins once again, as he found himself lying on the floor...no longer a
simple ghost for the moment it seemed. He tried to get to his feet, but

as he recalled the initial experience leading to his death[15905].
"Fred?" came the female voice...the voice of Astra, the Devil
herself. "I know you know..."
