Coming round a bend in the tunnel, Fred and Exotica - now well-armed but
still in each
other's bodies - almost collided with two people coming the other way. One
wore a wizard's
robe and carried a staff. The other, Fred recognised at once. It was
Princess Astra of
Aqualaria, free of her chains but still naked.
"Princess!" Fred said. "How did you get free of your chains?" Astra thought she recognised the woman who was addressing her. "Princess Exotica!" she said. "I remember you from that royal visit you made to Aqualaria two years ago. But how did you know that I had been enchained?" Fred and Exotica explained about their switch of bodies. Then Astra introduced her companion, who had remained patiently silent until now. "This is the Wizard of Kamiro," she said. [42] "He was able magically to detect that I had been captured, and ventured into the caves to release me from my fetters." "Pleased to meet you," said Exotica. "Perhaps you would be kind enough to switch back Fred and myself?" "I'm sorry," said the wizard, "but it is very risky to use magic in the dragon's domain. He might easily detect it and be able to locate us. Even my use of magic to free the princess was dangerous. That is why I haven't dared to conjure up any clothes for her."
