Astra Enchanted

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 1726

There was much to ponder, but they dared not remain in the keep. They had seen new, shadowy figures operating in the guard posts. No doubt Lucien had opened the keep to a group of the enemy, who had taken the defenders completely by surprise, and rapidly either dispatched or imprisoned them and everyone else in the castle. Andrea hoped that it was the latter possibility, at least as far as her family and friends were concerned. Sneaking out of the keep by the back way, reluctantly leaving the horse behind in the interests of stealth, they continued until they were a safe distance away from the castle, hidden in the nearby forest, and then camped for the night and discussed what they should do. <p"Why did Lucien seem not to recognise me?" asked Andrea, who was still smarting at his having called her Andy. "His idea of a joke?" suggested Astra slightly distractedly. She was more concerned by what Lucien had told her about herself. The wyrm had certainly had ample opportunity to cast spells on her when she had been his prisoner, before Fred had freed her. "I must find a powerful mage," she said, "and quickly, before whatever enchantment the dragon has laid on me can come to fruition. Once that spell has been countered, we can decide how best to thwart the wyrm's plans."

Andrea replied:

  1. "There is one rumourted to live about five miles from here, deep in the forest. He is something of a recluse, and I have never met him."
  2. "And you expect me to know? We need sleep!"
  3. "There is a warlock that lives within these woods, but you can't expect us to go now!"
