Knot That (Part 2)

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 58550

"What are you doing back here?" a gravelly voice asks slowly. "Perhaps to finally pay your bar tab, maybe?"

The toughs find that they, in their haste in chasing Fred, failed to note just where they were going. Failed to notice that the barkeep (the voice's owner) and his bouncers had moved to cut off the exits to this alleyway, somehow. Got caught up in the excitment of the race and all that. Rather like Fred, really, who got caught up with just trying to stay ahead and taking a look behind him to see his position before when he should have kept his attention ahead and all that rot!

While the toughs are taken aside and a (rather rough soon enough) discussion takes place between tavern owner and such, our unconsious demifox male is left behind, ignored.

. . .

Such is life here in Walants.

And such as the life of Fred, his current run of luck!

How bad of luck, you ask? After all, beyond being knocked cold but surviving the threat to his person, he looks very lucky. However . . .

"Urgh.....where am I?" the male demifox finally manages, coming about with a large knot still on his forehead.

. . .

It has shrunk from what it had been (regenerative powers managed that much), however . . .

While the trauma to skull and brain have been pretty much healed there HAS been something done that will linger. How long, you shall have to see. . .

"And while at it . . . who the Hell am I?" he blinks slowly, looking a bit frightened at the last.

No thoughts of him having ever been anything else emerges (not even a ghost). Total amesia this one has. . .

"Mmm," a sultry female voice purrs from behind. "My nose had told me somthing . . . yummy had to be down this way."

Turning, the male demifox sees another figure somewhat like him. It is a female fox form, rather female in configuration and looking like a demifox female (fox head, tail and all that). However . . . .

The eyes are vulpine enough but they are BLUE!! That and besides the figure before Fred being dressed in what some would call in an Oriental style (i.e. a kimono), there is one OTHER thing that seperates this fox woman from the ordinary (if such could be said) demifox: she has TWO tails vice one!!

"Excuse me," the male demifox stammers, blinking. "Do you know me? I mean . . ."

A furry (but shapely) finger on Fred's lips hushes those questions for the moment.

The kitsune female interrupts, smiling a little bit as a pub worker who'd been in the process of dumping yet something else decides to . . . hold off and wait for a bit. This female has a . . .reputation already, though new enough to this town.

"No, but I . . . want to really get to know you well," she begins, casting a small magick that makes Fred's eyes glaze. "Usually don't . . . mate outside my species but you'll do . . . nicely. That and . . . mayhaps afterwards we can remedy that . . . problem of species."

A fox tail slinkily drawn across our spell bound hero causes the glazed look to fade a little bit, to be replaced by a somewhat dopey smile.

Leading the still bespelled male away to a . . . rather posh part of town (woman has money), meanwhile . . .


"Where did that male get off to?" the werebear mage mutters, looking about.

Without the male present, this won't work. Even though the magical curse needs Astra (who's now sleeping under spell sedation) cured before Fred can be, he is needed to be close at hand for anything to be done (magical curse and cures usually link the fate of the giver and victim in cases like magical diseases).

That or something in his examination says that their fates are linked by prophecy? Well, stranger things have happened...

"Well, lets start with the immediate problem and hope that our wayard male shows soon enough," Synizn mutter.

  1. Before anything, this pregnancy must be accelerated and the kits delivered. Can't cure Astra first and return her to human without killing the unborn ones, you know!!
