Four People, One Cell
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 25177
|
Given the number of guards, not to mention Vaeren's own magical powers, it
was clear to all four of them that resistance would be futile. Soon
they were sharing a dungeon cell. As dungeon cells went, it was
reasonably salubrious. Vaeren had even arranged for food to be provided -
bread and meat for Jarlath and Carola and carrots and lettuce for Matthias
and Belinda - but that was little consolation.
Belinda tried to think, uncomfortably aware that all the time it was little by little becoming more difficult. "What do you imagine Vaeren meant when he said that he had a use for you and Carola?" she asked Jarlath. "I've no idea, but I didn't like the sound of it. It may be that he has a use for all four of us. Otherwise, he could just have killed you two." "Can't you use your magic to get us out of here?" Matthias asked. Jarlath smiled ruefully. "You don't think that Vaeren would allow that, do you? The walls, the floor, the bars, all are imbued with powerful wards. I've no chance of getting us out." "Then we can do nothing," Matthias said gloomily. "Well, there's one possibility, though it's a long shot," Jarlath said. "Remember that Carola is supposed to have - or at least be developing - some extra powers, in particular becoming stronger and more agile. [9426] Maybe she is strong enough to force the bars apart?" "I don't feel any stronger," she said.
