In the Banqueting Hall

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 33589

This was getting stranger and stranger. The banqueting hall and all its furnishings appeared identical to what I was familiar with from back home. Although I could see that the minstrel gallery was empty, soft music was coming from somewhere. I recognised the tune as one that had been very popular in Aqualaria a few years back.

Only one place was set, at the head of the table. My mother the Queen would normally sit there, but a place card written in elegant handwriting read: "Her Royal Highness, Princess Astra of Aqualaria".

  1. Curious to see what would happen, I sat down in the indicated place. Would food magically appear? It had been some time since I had eaten, and I was hungry.
  2. I decided to investigate the kitchens.
  3. Turning round, I saw that the strange moving stairway by which I had come here had vanished. There was only a blank wall.
  4. Underneath my name, the place card said: "A Banquet to mark the occasion of a Notable Change in her life". I didn't like the sound of that.
