Too Much Pain

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 81818

Fred was relieved to stop. Inflicting what was clearly severe pain on a woman was not something that he was at all comfortable with. Astra's face was very pale, and she slumped as if she might have collapsed if her chains had not been supporting her.

"I am so ashamed," she said, hanging her head. "I have dishonoured my ancestors, who were warriors far braver than I could ever hope to be."

"That's rot!" Fred said. "You were in agony; I could tell. No-one could have withstood it for long, and few would have lasted for as long as you did. You should feel no shame. But I don't like the look of your scorch marks. I have some salve in my pack which may help. For a mission to destroy the dragon it seemed prudent to bring something that might help to heal burns."

  1. Astra is somewhat consoled by his words. She allows the salve to be applied to her injuries, though she insists that Glenda rather than Fred should do this.
  2. Astra will not let her injuries be treated.
