Fred meets Sir Toby

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 36821

Lord Fred's ears pricked when he heard footsteps around the corner, he quickly tried to hide, but he couldn't see any convenient hiding locations. He gulped, and searched around for his sword to confront the intruder should they prove hostile, but found it melted on the floor. He gulped, and turned to face the second best knight in Allaria, Sir Toby.

"Lord Fred! I thought I might find. . ." Sir Toby stopped, and his eyes grew wide, "Fred! Why the hell are you naked?"

Fred was trying hard to cover himself up. "Oh, ahh, I'm. . . It gets mighty hot down here and. . ."

Sir Toby looked like he didn't buy it. "So you took your armour off? In a monster infested, dragon inhabited cave? Is something clouding your judgment? You're supposed to be our best knight. Put it on and. . . What happend there?" Sir Toby pointed towards Fred's equipment melted to the ground.

"Er, like I said, it gets hot down here!" Fred couldn't think of anything better, and his face was getting beet red.

Sir Toby frowned. "You're hiding something, I can tell." He turned to the melted armour, and Fred seized his chance to sweep Belboz's remains into the corner where they wouldn't be seen. He didn't want to have to make up any more far fetched stories. He tried to flee down the nearby corridor, but Toby soon turned back.

"This looks like the work of a dragon! Did it come through here?"

"Er, no- Yes! Yes, yes it did, shortly after I removed my armour, I heard a roar. I ran, and it was like that when I returned!"

"Hmmph, you still sound like you're hiding something, but I can't think of a more plausible explination. . . Although the rest of your armour looks like it just exploded! Dragon too?"

"Yeah, dragon did that. . . Heheh," Fred chuckled, he wasn't entirely lying.

Sir Toby took off his pack of supplies he was carrying and found some spare clothes for Fred within. As Fred put them on, Sir Toby said to him, "We'd better take you back to the castle to be re-equiped. As unlikely as your tale sounds, if you're going to slay that dragon, we can't have you running around the caves naked and unarmed."

Fred sighed as he turned back down the corridor from which he came with Sir Toby. Soon he'd be back on track on his quest (he also made a mental note to pick up a better map once at the castle), and he could try to forget this ever happend, except for the fact that he was part dragon, but he didn't need to use his dragon form, did he?

"Oh yes," Sir Toby suddenly spun around "I almost forgot, the king sent me to fetch someone, it is important that he gets to the castle. I've heard he was last sighted in these caves. Have you encountered one Belboz the Necromancer?"
