Fred Feels Shaken

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 36735

When the red mist of anger cleared from Fred's eyes, and he realised what he had done, he felt rather shaken. Whilst Belboz had played a cruel prank on him, that was not enough justification for killing him. A knight was not supposed to lose his temper, and he did not feel that being a dragon at the time was sufficient excuse for his actions.

He at first assumed that he would change back into human form as instantaneously as he had become a dragon - always supposing that he could manage to turn back at all. But instead it proved to be a gradual process, seemingly occurring without any conscious effort on his part. Over the next half hour or so, he first shrank down to human size, then his wings retracted and his tail shortened. His scales reverted to skin and his claws to nails. Eventually, as the transformation neared completion, he could stand upright again.

Once again he was human - but a naked human. He had destroyed what he had been wearing when he burst out of it, and that part of his armour that he had removed to put on the tutu had unfortunately been melted by the blast of flame with which he had incinerated Belboz (and of course had destroyed Belboz's clothes too).

Perhaps it might be better to be a dragon again rather than a naked knight, he mused, especially since there was still an evil dragon waiting somewhere. The trouble was that without the rage that Belboz's trick had aroused in him, he wasn't sure that he could transform again.

That was when things took another turn for the worse, with the arrival on the scene of:

  1. The evil dragon.
  2. A female warrior, of all unheard of things! She was beautiful yet athletic looking, and had red hair.
  3. Sir Toby. Why had the King sent another warrior?
