Astra, Immortal Ruler of the World

I had no way of returning home, as the ability to use a time-spell was given to me in the form of a potion. That potion had 100 years worth of time-spell, and I had used 50 to return home and then 50 to get here. I realize now that to be safe I could have gone 25 years into the future and then 25 back. Anyway, when standing on the streets I saw Astra travelling the streets of the capital in her coach. I was, of course, in my human form. I have not explained this to you previously, but I may only stay in my human form a month at a time. If I stay any longer, I am immediately reverted to my dragon form, and I must stay that way for at least two months.

I pondered calling out to her, but she was surrounded by royal guards and it would have been lunacy. But the strangest thing was that I recognized her. She should have been 50 years older; but instead, she was the Astra I knew and remembered.

I followed them, trying to stay in the shadows. But there was a problem; in my human form, I wear a fine, shiny red robe. I stood out from the normal crowd of ragged peasants, so not before long one of the guards was walking towards me. "Oi! What the 'ell are ye' doin'?" He asked me, inspecting me while scrunching his nose as if I gave off a bad smell.

I needed to find out how Astra had become immortal. I had only realized it now, but when I had a child with Akeala, I may have lost my own immortality. Could Astra have managed to kill me in this universe? I needed to know, so I decided to...

1. ...knock out the guard and take his armour and uniform, and then follow Astra into the castle.
2. ...turn into my draconic form and incinerate all the guards, and then kidnap Astra.
3. ...bribe the guard into letting me have an audience with Astra.
4. ...threaten/scare the guard into letting me have an audience with Astra.
5. ...run away, and this time hope to be more sneaky.
