The era of Minestus had passed, and that of Astra had begun.
As yet, of course, only Astra, Fred and Checkers were aware of Minestus' demise and Astra's draconification, and none of them understood its full significance - not even Astra herself. What Astra was beginning to notice, though, was what she could only describe to herself as a slight mental tug. It was coming from the East, not that she - being underground - could tell that that was the direction. Meanwhile Checkers was beginning to worry about Fred. It wasn't far to Belboz's chamber, and he should have been back with the healing potion for Astra, though she hardly seemed to need it now, long before this. "Perhaps I should go and look for Fred," she suggested to Astra. "It shouldn't have taken him this long. Unless perhaps you could contact him telepathically?" "I doubt that I could do so through solid rock, but it can't hurt to try." With that, Astra projected: Fred, can you hear me? with such force that Checkers winced in pain and instinctively put her hands over her ears - not that that helped, of course.
