Fred's Destiny

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 42948

"Are you sure?" Astra said. "What if they are primitive and hostile, and try to sacrifice us to their heathen gods?"

"No worries." said the dragon. "They are descendants of the One King, a people fair-haired and light-skinned, better versed in poetry and song than the violent arts of war."

Even as the dragon finished speaking, a group of people arrived to greet them. Clad in colourful clothing and wearing garlands in their hair, they called out in glad voices as they waved to our heroes. Minstrels sang joyful songs as maidens flocked to place flowered wreaths on Fred, Astra and the dragon's necks. A grey-haired, stately man who carried himself with a noble composure knelt before Fred.

"My King." he said. "Welcome to Ierelas, the Haven. Our people are overjoyed at your coming. We saw you approach in the skies above, and hurried to greet you."

"Who are you?" Fred asked. "And why do you call me King?"

"My King, I am called Balbaros. I am the elected Councilor of my people. The ancient texts say that on a day of great rejoicing, a mighty winged beast would deliver us a King and Queen who would ensure an era of perpetual prosperity, my King."

"Well then." Fred said, taking Astra's hand, who smiled. "Rise, Balbaros. For in my Kingdom, no man shall kneel to another, but all shall live together in peace, as equals!"


Meanwhile, the Kitten had arrived in the port of Merlas - a festering cancer upon the face of the earth, filled with pirates, slave traders and every sort of criminal. Here the Kitten would find followers - and plan her bloody revenge on her own creator. She ran up to a group of rough- looking mercenaries.

"miu! miu!" the Kitten cried plaintively.

"Ho, a wretched street vermin." laughed one of the violent hirelings. "Shall we wager on how far I can make it fly with my boot?"

"miu!" the Kitten said, and proceeded to end the man's life. His friends stared at the splattered remains in disbelief, then turned and ran.

"miu..." the Kitten said. It seemed it would be hard to carry out her plan without the ability to speak human tongue.

  1. The Kitten decides to learn how to speak human tongue.
  2. The Kitten decides to pursue and kill Fred by herself.
  3. The Kitten decides to recruit an army of evil cats to do her bidding.
  4. ...Catnip!
