Options, limited or otherwise

"I don't know who I am," ex-Astra (we shall call her for convenience sake) replies. "I seem to have amnesia."

"Hm, how interesting indeed!" the voice chuckles slightly, amused at this new twist in his game. "Well, as a favor I could in addition to the offer made towards Frita in return to . . . fixing her condition I could well look into fixing that. If you wish."

Meaning that IF she was willing, the unseen master of the voice will "fix" whatever is wrong with HER mind as "payment for services rendered" for whatever task he has needing done.

Hm...

"Before I answer that do I dare ask what the terms are for Lady Frita?" ex-Astra asks slowly, hoping that at least this voice is just . . . mischivious instead of malicious.

"Well, Frita here was asked to carry out an assignment yet to be named by me," the voice chuckled, intentionally leaving off just WHAT the assignment would be, however distasteful or disagreeable it may be.

This wasn't looking too good to the amnesia suffering ex-princess turned Fey folke.

"As for 'compensation' for . . . completion of Frita's assignment if she should accept," the voice continues on, merriment in his voice. "She will be restored to a more - human - form.

"If she should decline then I will open the wardrobe, and she shall use it as a passageway to the Blueleaf Forest, home of the Fariy Folk, where she could join them in fairy life forever."

"And no other options," Frita groused quietly.

"And what are MY options?" ex-Astra asked quietly.

"You as well could accept my task," the voice stated. "But unlike dear Frita I fear that I cannot risk sending you to the Buleleaf Forest, for I see that magical mark upon your forehead."

Going on, the voice explained to the startled fairies that the armor wearing pixy here had been banished forevermore from that magical place. It also was had done . . . something transformation wise to her psyche, which he added that as an option it would have to be examined and overcome before his "minstrations" to her obviously injured mind could be applied. That last part was another option.

"Then there is the last option," the voice adds, in a cheerful voice.

1. "And the last option," ex-Astra asksed quietly after a few seconds of silence.
