The Beast

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 37140

The frightening figure that shambled into the study was fully eight feet tall, and looked like a cross between a bear and a man. "Who are you people?" he asked, in surprisingly cultured tones. "What are you doing in my study? And why is the woman wearing my jacket?"

I guess that makes sense, Astra thought. Someone whose jacket would reach my knees would need to be that tall.

Meanwhile Fred said: "We are here by accident. I am Lord Frederigo D'Honaire, the lady is Princess Astra of Aqualaria, and the dog is really a teenage boy called Velus who is under an enchantment."

"Really?" the creature said, sounding rather sceptical Fred thought. "I suppose I should introduce myself in return. I am generally known as the Beast. Now, there are still two more questions for you to answer."

"We are here by accident," Astra said. "We were on a quest to kill the dragon of the Northern Caves - or Southern Caves according to the Allarians, when we accidentally got sucked into a tapestry that depicted this study. I am wearing your jacket because I have nothing else to wear, but of course I shall return it if you wish."

  1. "Please keep it for the time being, Princess. But I'm sure that before long my servants will be able to find you something more suitable to wear. The three of you are most welcome here."
  2. "I've never heard such a ridiculous story in my life. A quest to kill a dragon indeed! Yes, I want my jacket back right now."
