The mind burns

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 72553

Fred listened carefully to the voices. "Fire! Burning fire," one exclaimed. He wiped his forehead where sweat beads were forming.

"Hope! You threw away our hope," cried another voice.

Suddenly, a voice came not from within, but from somewhere outside. It didn't sound like Bruno, and it was too difficult to tell what was said.

The walls began to get dark, the lava faded, the cage disappeared. He was back in the cave. All that was before him was a small, steady light.

He heard the voice again, "the bear wasn't real." The voice came from the light, which moved closer, revealing a fairy.

"That was an after-image from Bruno the drunk, a man who was deceived by these caves," she said, "They are the last images he had in his mind." She pointed to the wall, where sat Bruno's human skeleton. Next to the skeleton sat a journal.

Fred stares at the fairy for a moment, and then...

  1. opens the journal
  2. ignores the fairy, sure that he is still going crazy
  3. says something about how the cave didn't agree with Bruno
