Fred Runs Out of Patience

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 86174

That the elf had stammered before answering made Fred fairly sure that he was lying. However he had really come by the sash, he had not simply found it lying discarded somewhere.

"No, I don't want to trade," Fred said. "Though I can see that the cloth is of excellent quality, even so the sabre is clearly far more valuable...

"There is one more question that I would like to ask you, however. What are you doing in these caves? I thought that elves were people of the forests, and I understood that they are afraid of the dark. But you are not the first elf that I have met down here. I encountered another in what was clearly a wine cellar. He claimed that the wine was his, but that seemed unlikely. I suspect that he was looking after the wine for the dragon. And if he was working for the dragon, then perhaps you are too."

The elf paled, and might have fled. But Fred still had the sabre in his hand from showing it to him, and before he could turn the point was at his throat. "Now perhaps you will answer my questions truthfully," the knight said.

  1. The elf complies.
  2. Apparently the elf is still more frightened of the dragon than of Lord Fred.
