Who Would Have Thought It?

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 75918

The wizard raised an eyebrow in surprise. During Jolyon's time as his apprentice - which admittedly had not been long - the lad had not given him the impression that he was likely to be a great success with the ladies, in spite of his occasional talk about a girlfriend. Walwyn had formed the impression that the girl might be a figment of Jolyon's imagination, intended to give the boy some credibility with his peers. Yet here was Natasha in the flesh, absolutely stunning and - even more surprising - apparently about four years older than Jolyon. Her brother was a handsome young man. From his attire, and the sword at his side, it seemed likely that he was a soldier. Perhaps an officer, as his gear seemed of good quality. Gilana was not as immediately eye-catching as her friend, but she too was very pretty in a more understated way. The sixth sense that the best wizards possessed told him that she was a magic user, though not a very powerful one.

"I'm pleased to meet you all," he said. "Have you eaten yet? If not, perhaps we could all go to The Green Dragon for a late lunch."

Soon they were all settled round a table in the inn, with plates of bread and cheese and pints of ale in front of them. "So," Walwyn said, "won't you tell me a little about yourselves? Perhaps Natasha would like to go first?"

  1. Natasha turned out to be a farmer's daughter.
  2. Natasha had been working as a barmaid in a village about ten miles away, but had just been given the sack.
  3. Natasha was that rarity, a female soldier of fortune.
  4. Natasha shook her head in puzzlement. "It's funny, but apart from my name and being Jolyon's girlfriend, I don't seem able to remember much about myself."
