Fred Becomes Suspicious

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 82306

It occurred to Fred that, if Sigin for some reason did not want what had happened eight hundred years ago to be explained, then pretending to detect the approach of Minestus would be a good delaying tactic. Not that he could imagine what Sigin's motive could possibly be. It was just that the timing seemed too perfect to be a coincidence. He tried to dismiss those thoughts as being unworthy. Sigin was their ally, surely?

"That's very brave of you, Sigin," Adele said. "You can't cast spells in that form, though, and would have no chance of delaying Minestus by much. You would just be sacrificing yourself for nothing. But if Elaine and I helped you, then our combined magic might be able to hold him up for a bit."

"I'm not leaving you, Adele," Matthias said.

"Very well," Elaine said. "Fred, you take the two princesses and get to Belboz's chamber as quick as you can. The rest of us will try to give you the time that you need."

  1. Fred accepted this, if not without misgivings, as did Astra and Exotica.
  2. That made Fred even more suspicious, What was going on?
  3. They had delayed for too long. Evidently Minestus really was approaching, as he appeared round a corner in the passage only some 30 metres behind them.
  4. "No," Sigin said. "I must do this alone. The magic users are sure to be needed later."
