And so it was written

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 7483

The Forrest senses the Other has finally come to end Her!

The ingrate!

Did she not cradle his body within her own roots in that strange chamber the others had gone to great lengths to create?

Well, the ingrate is going to be.....taken care of in a most permanent manner!


The Elves start as they sense the danger approach a split second before Astra 4 sees what is happening.

The dark shadows around them, while a bit eerie even in the light of day...suddenly MOVE. They move and are reaching for them....as are shadows reaching for a silently floating elfin figure (who'd stand a good foot taller than a regular elf....since Ke'lan is the last of the Ruling Caste).

"Uh guys?" B'elanna whispers hoarsely, suddenly wishing for a phasor.....or a quick beamout by the Voyager for her and her friends.

"Battlestar....it's time," Ke'lan says sadly, knowing what must be done.

His Grailing proxy collapses as the figure in the alchemical bath that hasn't moved in thousands of years, but has been preserved in the arcane brime, jerks to awakefulness!

Elf quick hands reach out and pull forth the ancient Elfish magical sword, a weapon that was made to serve one....and only one master. The Battlestar is only for Ke'lan....and Ke'lan is the only one who could use it for what happens next.

Ke'lan jumps forth from the brime, ragged clothing spraying brime everywhere and causing the shadows to retreat in pain for moment where the alchemical fluids touch.

Wasting no time for words, no time for anything but what must be done, Ke'lan breaks his sword across his knee. Sword, magically strengthened to only break deliberately in such a move, gives way and then blows Ke'lan's body, the Tree, and the Essence of the forest to blazes. The Tree, an arrogant tribute by Ke'lan's mother in a bid for more power over those she ruled along with her husband, rains down upon an acre of territory in kindling the size of toothpicks!

The shadows collapse in on themselves, leaving the elves and the humans looking around anxiously...and then sighing in relief. A groan from Grailing draws them over to him, and he opens his eyes....and looks mightly confused.

"I...should be dead," he whispers as he feels his Proxy body. "But.....my original body is dead. Why am I in my proxy?"

Good question, but is put on hold as Ke'lan (a.k.a. Grailing) tells what he's done. He's about to point out his way to where Astra 4's home is (now that the Forest is no longer interfering with travel), when there's a heavy THUD before them!

A black scaled dragon's head leans it's way down through the trees, and cries out in joy at finally having been able to magically home in on Astra and the children.

Dragon Synizn and the others are soon joined by Probe and Inquirer, who leap out of the just parked Rocket Sled. Joy abounds until Elrondir, bowing to duty, tells what he knows of HIS Enemy.

  1. This, of course leadsd up to the question of just WHO Elrondir really is.....
