Finally Dealing with Belboz

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 56006

"Well, this is a bit of a setback," said Astra after she'd finished shrinking. Her voice was now whiny and high-pitched. "But not a dangerous one. It will take some time for me to adjust to moving in this body, so I won't be able to fight for a while, but Fred and my sisters will be able to pick up the slack. As soon as we manage to get some weapons, anway." Although Astra was trying to take this turn of events in stride, she was clearly very irritated by this. Belinda and Carola burst out laughing uncontrolably, until a stern glance from Astra silenced them. Even at three feet, she still seemed very formidable.

"Sorry," said Carola through her giggling. "We didn't mean to..." Most of the other princesses then burst out laughing themselves in spite of desperate efforts not to. Maria just shook her head and said, " 'A prophet is not without honor but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.' "

Astra just shrugged her shoulders, mostly succeeding in seeming unperturbed. She wobbled slightly like a drunkard. "Now we should deal with Belboz before we face another setback like this," she said. "Miranda?" Miranda, staring off into space, simpy smiled a darkly ironic smile. She walked over to where Belboz stood struggling in his bonds. Then she screamed a loud, sharp scream and started shouting in some guttural language that no one else in the room ha dever heard. Sparks started flying around the cave and the others desperately ducked. When the sparks died down,

  1. Belboz was standing in the same place, looking confused. The spell seemed to have worked.
  2. Belboz was lying on the ground, dead.
  3. Belboz did not seem to be affected, but Fred was.
