Astra's Exercise Compulsion
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 70502
|
Seized by a strange compulsion, Astra sat on a contraption that in fact
was an exercise bicycle, grabbed its handgrips, slipped her feet into its
stirrups and began to pedal as fast as she could. Astra was very fit, but
after ten minutes she was covered in a sheen of perspiration and was
breathing heavily, after twenty minutes her thigh and calf muscles were
starting to ache, and after thirty minutes there was a red mist in front
of her eyes.
Fortunately at that point the compulsion vanished as suddenly as it had come upon her. Rather shakily, she got up from the machine. Then she looked down at herself and gasped. Astra had always been an athletic woman, but now her leg muscles had become enormous and were completely out of proportion to the rest of her. Thirty minutes of exercise, no matter how vigorous, could not have had such a marked effect unless powerful magic was involved. She suspected that the dragon was playing games with her.
