YOU
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 5246
|
Belboz waves his hand. Eldritch energies spark from his fingertips and
seem to course for untold seconds in mid-air. Fred was quite impressed
and quite pleased at the prospect of having this user of magic kill the
Beast. But instead there appeared before Fred a greyish cloud that slowly
resolved itself into a window that looked into a face of a person before a
strange oblong tablet full of finger-sized boxes inscribed each with
strange runes. Then Fred was startled as he realized that the person was
looking at him!
Of course Fred's astonishment couldn't have been greater than yours as you are immediately whisked from your office, or bedroom, or kitchen, or wherever you keep your darned computer, and straight into the Addventure. But you find yourself not as yourself, but as a bear, a great big bear, a California grizzly! (which is odd considering that the state with the bear on its flag actaully killed off the last of its grizzlies in the twentieth century). "Crap!" you say. Of course, all that comes forth from your great large snout are growls. "Now, now!" says Belboz sternly. "We'll have none of your bad language here! It's not my fault that the last author typed in "you" instead of "Fred", now is it?" Fred was amazed, and frightened. He saw this great beast of a bear materialize as if from nothingness, and now the man of magic was conversing with it! After his first thoughts of astonishment, his second was whether he should kill it or not, and maybe the magic-man as well. Belboz takes a mirror from a corner of the cavern and holds it to your face. "Now, you don't look so bad." "But I'm a BEAR!" you say with exasperation. Luckily Belboz understands every word you say, but Fred, however... "You tricked me!" roared Fred at the mage. "For this trickery I shall slay you and your foul monster!" He unsheathed his mighty sword ready to do the very deed!
