Confusion, Paralysis, and an Identity Crisis!

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 66044

The unconscious Fred, in Carola's body, was dragged out of the room by Astra. The knight lying paralyzed on the ground some distance away could only watch. Astra was a traitor? What was going to happen to Carola? More importantly, what was really happening? Something was very strange. Was it the poison addling his senses, or was it something more? He was still very much unable to move at all, so he could only lie on the cold ground and contemplate what was going on. Something was amiss, however. Fred didn't remember the poison entering his veins. Astra had mentioned that she had began asphyxiating him, but he didn't remember any such thing. He remembered Carola pretending to choke him. Carola was on his side, it seemed. The younger girl could have easily finished him off, but she had deceived her older sister, and had spared him. Things began to slowly come back to him. He remembered sitting in the cell, he remembered Astra and Fred rescuing him [15590], he remembered seeing Fred fall prey to the venom [15905]... Wait. These memories...they belonged to Belinda and to Carola. He wasn't Fred at all! The knight's body was his, true, but the memories, the thoughts, were all wrong. What was even more confusing is that the memories that continued to come back were those belonging to both Belinda and Carola, as though the identities of both somehow occupied the same body! How was this possible? And how had this happened, a switching of bodies? Who was that inhabiting Carola's body, then? And what would happen once the paralysis wore off? Then again, the poison would last in the area of two days. Being paralyzed over the course of two days in the middle of a cavern full of perils wasn't healthy, but there was no choice. Hopefully nothing would happen...in the meantime, the individual(s?) in the body could only lie on the ground and try to sort everything out.

  1. Two days pass without event, and the confused body of the knight is finally able to move.
  2. An unusual slug-like creature slithers into the room! What now?
  3. Astra returns to check and make certain "Carola" finished the job. "Ah," she says with a cruel smile. "As I thought."
