Three Heroes, Three Arrows
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 3628
|
Suddenly, before the trio could move even a yard more down the
mountainside, a great ball of light materialized before them. "Good Gracious!" cried Lord Fredrigo. "Holy Hannah!" cried out Princess Astra. "Rowr Rolf!" barked out Velus the Accursed. And then a series of three arrows flashed out of that light... straight into the bouncing bosom of Astra, through the flesh, between the bone, and into the heart! She fell down DEAD! And then the light dematerialized, leaving Fred and Velus in shock. For all of three minutes. And then they ran for the cave entrance (just in case that murderous ball of light came back for more). After fifteen minutes Fred and Velus tiptoed back out onto the mountainside. "So," said Fred. "I guess going after the ex-boyfriend ain't gonna happen NOW." "BARK!" "I'm sorta relieved," added Fred. "NOT that this buxom babe bit the dust - really wish THAT didn't happen; but I'm glad we didn't have to follow the crazed woman on a quest after this poor sod Toby and the witch Exotica. I mean, what's a Drixwickthyre anyway???" "BARK, BARK!" "We need to go back and finish my quest." "BARK, GROWL!" "Hey, listen, afterwards the Allarian WhiteHand can find an uncurse for you." Even as the two turned their backs on the corpse of Astra and began trudging back into the Caves, they heard a yell: "Mighty Mordru!" Upon turning they saw a female standing over Astra's corpse. "Who are you?" asked Fred. "You BASTARD!" came the response. "Well, um, that's not an answer to my ques--" The woman lept into the air and flung herself at Fred, her sword in hand and ready to kill! Fred, no slouch with the sword himself took to the defensive. With steel against steel, fist against chin, knee against groin, elbow against breast, and... you get the picture... a mighty battle brewed on this mountainside of the Shreken. For twenty minutes. Twenty long minutes. And then it was over. Two forms lay sprawled on the dirt and stones. Both bloodied and sweaty and bruised, but alive. Their breaths came out in huffs and puffs, and only Velus was unscathed; he had watched the whole thing with rapt attention. He had thought about joining in, helping Fred by biting the woman's ankle, but he figured she might just step on him, hard. (which he was right to think, by the way) "I... I....suh--say aga...again," breathed out Fred. "Hooo... who... the.... hell... are... you?" ------------------- -------------------------- ----------------------------
