Tying up a Few Loose Ends
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 7727
|
Andrea and Astra 8 are filling each other in on events since Astra left
Andrea and Frederigo to go off alone.
"I still find it difficult to believe that Frederigo could have been an
oathbreaker," Astra
says. "It will be hard for me to wholly trust his analogs now, I fear. My
head tells
me that is illogical, but my heart tells me differently, and I can't
wholly ignore it.
Still, let's think about happier things. Your hidden magical gift is
interesting. From what I'm told, there are
a lot of mages around here. Perhaps it might be a good idea to see if you
could get
yourself taken on as an apprentice by one of them, so you could be
properly trained?"
"Yes, perhaps. I'm not really sure yet just what I want to do.
Everything's happened
so fast."
Meanwhile, Queen Astra has given her verdict on the dwarves from the Walants 7 universe, based on the AIs' report of their individual interrogations of each dwarf. Lem and one or two of the others who have shown genuine repentance are pardoned, but Tarin, Dokken and most of the others are to be executed.
Fred and Astra 4, their babies, "their" Synizn and the warg are returned by the shuttle craft to their settlement. The elves do not go with them since, though they aren't sure exactly what they want to do now, joining a human settlement in a remote location does not greatly appeal.
Fred and Astra 7 are starting to make plans for their wedding. They have not fixed a date (or indeed a place) yet, but it will need to be within the next couple of months to ensure that the triplets are not born out of wedlock. Rowena will be the chief bridesmaid, of course. "The only sadness is that our parents can't be there," Fred tells her. "Yes. They must think us both dead. If only there was some way to get a message to them." Fred and Astra 6, Synizn 2 and Sigin 2 haven't yet come to any decisions as to what they will do. Synizn's path will be the same as Fred and Astra's, of course, whatever that might be.
