Three Strange Figurines

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 22895

Could it be no more than a coincidence to find figures that seemingly represent me, Checkers and - I suppose - the princess? Fred wonders. If so, then it is surely a most remarkable one. But if it is a portent of some kind, then I have no idea what it signifies. The workmanship is exquisite, and the gold statue in particular must be very valuable. Why is it sealed in that translucent substance, though? Is it a kind of glass? Or perhaps it's some sort of crystal. Is it supposed to protect the statue from harm? I think that it spoils the piece, as it prevents it from being seen clearly.

Experimentally, Fred gives the block of glass-like substance a gentle tap with the pommel of his sword.

  1. It makes a slight ringing sound.
  2. As far as Fred can tell, nothing happens, but half a mile or so away Astra feels a strange sensation for a moment.
  3. The substance crumbles away into dust, leaving just the statue.
  4. To his surprise, the substance becomes more, though not totally, opaque.
  5. To his astonishment, Astra Dragon materialises on the stage of the ampitheater.
