Fred's Rural Ride

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 56974

Fred enjoyed riding Velus and Velus enjoyed being ridden. They frightened a lot of the local wildlife and caused those people who saw them to doubt the evidence of their eyes. After they estimated that an hour had passed, they returned to outside the town hall, where they found the wizard waiting for them, together with Astra.

Astra was no longer wearing the wizard's spare robe. Instead she had on a striking cheongsam of red silk, and had slippers on her feet. "I hadn't expected a small place like this to be able to produce such a fine dress," Fred said.

"It didn't. The wizard kindly magicked it up for me. It seems fitting, somehow."

"I'm ready to restore Velus to his human form now," the wizard said. "I'll have to do it here in the street. He's too big to go indoors. Also, I've worked out how long it should take me to restore Astra....

  1. "Not as long as I had at first feared. A week should suffice."
  2. "A year and a day."
  3. "I'm afraid it's bad news. It will take thirty years."
  4. "Seven years. That's the safe way. However there's a much riskier way that I could try, which would reduce that to a matter of hours. But there's about a one in four chance of it going wrong, and if it does then the results will be highly unpredictable."
