"But we have our own business to attend to!" Jarlath reminds
everyone. "But Fred's - Triakoth's -
conversion to Seelie is complete," Andrea says. "Doesn't that mean that
we've failed?
What made the Curse come homing in on us like that, anyway?" "I assume it
must have something
to do with the chanting we heard coming from over the hill," Dragon Synizn
answers.
"Somebody was casting a spell of some sort. Let's go and investigate."
Over the hill they find Morganna and her "patient". [15717] The Astra in question now looks - and indeed is - perfectly normal again. Triakoth can tell his companions that there is no trace of Unseelie about her. Introductions are made and explanations given. "Oh!" Morganna says, when she understands the implications of what she has done. Her face is grave. "I'm so sorry! I had no idea of the consequences of saving Astra. Those poor people!" The rescued Astra has experienced a rapid change of emotion: from joy when she awakened to find herself back to normal, to horror now she knows the terrible price that it seems some of those she met within the Pyramid will have to pay. Then something occurs to her. Perhaps it is her liking for "Doctor Who" that encourages her to think that no situation is ever truly hopeless. "What about that Zerm character that you met?" she asks. "Couldn't he save the others?"
