The Great Girl

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 41109

A slightly shame-faced you (bearing in mind what you had originally envisaged for Astra), a somewhat annoyed Astra (for the same reason), and a serene but malodorous Fred continue on your way, loaded down with loot. For the time being your paths lie together, since there is only a single trail up here, high in the foothills of the Shreken mountains. But eventually they will have to diverge, for Fred's home lies north, Astra's south, whilst you don't even rightfully belong in this world at all.

You have hung the locket round your neck, since you wouldn't want to lose it. You're seriously tempted to use one of your wishes to stop Fred's continual farts. You wonder what brought them on.

Your musing on this subject is interrupted. "This 'great girl' that you mentioned just now," Astra says. "She's your girlfriend, I assume. Pretty, is she?"

  1. "Very pretty, in fact perfect in every way," you enthusiastically reply.
  2. "Oh yes," you say, but you aren't very convincing. For, truth to tell, you have to admit to yourself that, though she has many admirable features, compared to the (still nude) Astra she is rather plain.
  3. You smile to youself. It looks like your bait has worked. Astra isn't to know that this "great girl" is wholly imaginary.
  4. "I was referring to you," you tell Astra. Her eyebrows rise. "Wasn't that rather presumptuous of you?" she asks.
