The Never Ending Quest - Episode 86427

Thomas went on: "We obviously need the dragon to come upon Princess Astra
at a time of our own choosing, if we are to have a chance. My plan is
that one of us will pretend to be a traitor, and will leave a message for
the dragon somewhere in the caves where it will be sure to be quickly
discovered - perhaps at the spot where the princess was imprisoned. That
message will tell him precisely where and when he can find the princess.
So he will come looking for her at a time of our choosing."
"But what if he sends his men to capture her, rather than coming himself? Or what if he flies over the valley rather than lands, and blasts her with fire from the air?" "I think that he is more likely to want to recapture her than to kill her. After all, he presumably did not kill her when he captured her originally because he recognised that she could be valuable to him. She is just as valuable now. At the very least, I am sure that he would want to question her before killing her, to find out how she was able to escape." "That answers one of my questions, but not the other." "The message will say that the princess would easily spot a group of men coming into the valley and would have time to flee and hide, but that the dragon could fly in and give her no time to react. I suspect that he would have wanted to come himself in any case, as he would view her escape as a personal affront."
