The Never Ending Quest - Episode 2284

"What is this about?" says the king, resting a hand on his blade.
"Do not be angry, Father." said Exotica. "Me and the Lord here shared a prophetic dream last night. I was nude. It was nothing. Lord Fred was on a quest to kill the dragon. That is what you plan for the Lord to do, isn't it?"
"A prophetic dream?" said the king. "How very interesting? Tell me, Lord Fred, did you defeat the dragon?"
"No, my liege." Fred says. "I was awakened by my mother before it could happen."
"I see..."
Suddenly, a small dog came running up to Lord Fred. It sat in front of him, barked once, then rolled over, wagging it's tail. The collected noblemen chuckled. The dog then put it's paws on Lord Fred's right knee.
And something wasn't right about it's collar. There was a piece of paper underneath it.
Lord Fred skritched the dog on the neck, pocketing the paper. Then he faced the King again. The dog barked twice more, then ran off after a passing butterfly.

"Now that we got that out of the way," the kind said, raising chuckles, "let's get down to business. It is true I came here to send you to defeat the dragon."
Awed gasps came from the crowd. "Shush." said the king. "Lord Fred, it is my honor..."
The king continued, outlining the subtlies of the mission we all know and love. The map that isn't quite right, the supplies, the lay of the land...
As Fred walked over to a portable armory, he snuck a look at the paper. It read:

  1. "Fred! It's Velus! You're suffering from a dragon-cast hallucination!"
  2. "Fred! It's Velus! We've traveled back in time some days and the dragon has REPLACED the king!"
  3. "Why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends?"
