Curiouser and Curiouser (and admittedly Sillier)

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 21393

Just what was going on here? Fred had left behind an image of his deceased mother on the cusp of womanhood, only to encounter a similar manifestation showing his maternal grandfather, Gideon of Lipsitz, scourge of the vampire clans of old Mesopotamia.

His grandfather had died in battle many years ago, but in late middle-age, whereas the figure in the vision was only a few years older than Fred was now. What could it all mean?


"What indeed, Sir Fred? What indeed!" chuckled the mysterious cowled figure as he placed a black velvet cloth once more over the scrying stone on which he had been observing the knight. The chuckle was not in itself malevolent, but neither was it well-meaning: more the sort of chuckle an old-timer lets out when he sees that a young one is about to learn a valuable but humiliating life-lesson.

The hooded man turned his back upon the dais upon which the stone lay, and strode across his study towards an unassuming wooden door upon which was painted a stick-figure man. He opened the door and sat down upon the low porcelain pot . . .


"Resorting to Plan Number Two, are we?", the strange masked figure cackled as she placed a red silken cloth over the All- seeing Orb on which she had been observing the mysterious cowled figure . . .
