De l'audace, encore de l'audace, et toujours de l'audace...

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 29908

Meanwhile elsewhere as time seems to freeze for not only the frantic demifoxes who'd been human not too long ago, but for yet another person (yet to be revealed), some odd people are stepping out of a doorway that's appeared out of thin air.

When the frozen (one set the demifoxes and that other yet unnamed person) unfreeze, they notice they have an odd tingling within themselves. That and a fruity aftertaste in their mouths. Unlike anything they'd ever tasted before....

Alright, for the unitiated (like, say, those who'd come into the middle of this story), here is a partial list of the players.

The demifoxes are victims of magic, accursed into their present (and permanent) shape by an evil dragon maged named Minestus. Like so many other Freds and Astras from other worlds, due to circumstance and misunderstanding, the female demifox who is still called Astra (she might think to change her name to reflect her new, changed life, who knows) is in a family way. Fred is the father. Had happened whilst Astra had been under the sway of the instinct (the condition that Minestus had left her under, hoping for this delightful development, if not necessarily done by Fred). Fred, mistaken the humanoid fox as a kitsune (powerful wood spirit from the East who don't take kindly to answers of "no" in sexual advances) slept with her in the hopes to be able to see the next day and sire children in the future. Well, he was mistaken but...

Well, their story is pretty involved, but if you're familiar with their story (that's taken place again and again in so many other worlds) that's . . . .kinda that. Suffice to say that their stuck in their forms permanently. First because they somehow managed to destroy their Crystallic (only thing out there they knew of that could return them to humanity). Second, what has been placed within them (some kind of Component to make a Key to a Dark Tower) has pretty much gauranteed that they're not returning to humanity. Nothing short of the Celestrial's BOSS(ES), the Higher Up(s) (whoever or whatever they are) can undo it!

Then throw into the mix some forbidden fruit from Eden (not the Tree of Knowledge, but immortality)....

The other group are Champions of the Rules and Agents. Namely, it's the Doctor (third incarnation), his wife and his companions. They're here to find those Components before something unwont happens....

As for the unnamed party, he (and she) are trotting along a barren beach, a golden city in the distance. Neither knows how they'd ended up here....

Well, back to the newcomers to this world, just outside what should be Wallants.... The Champions....

  1. As for the newcomers, the title of the episode here might sum up their outlook on life....
