Astra's Story
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 8804
|
"In ancient days," Astra began, "the land on which my people now live was
the home of the Dark Gods. They were driven off from that region by the
Gods of Light, but their citadel was inhabited by evil, and the land was
regarded as cursed. The minions of the Dark Gods still lived in that
citadel. Eventually, the founder of my people drove out the Dark Gods'
minions and built a new world of peace where the Citadel once stood. My
people were a peaceful people. I am a member of the warrior caste, who
protect the land from dragons and those Dark minions that remain. In my
childhood, the land was peaceful apart from a few dragon attacks. The
seers who saw in their dreams ruled with justice and mercy. But as I grew
older, a dark change came over the land. The dragons and Dark minion
attacks became more frequent and more vicious. Then, the seers stopped
dreaming. They were no longer able to divine any truth in their dreams.
Without their ability to See, they could no longer rule as well. Some
people spoke out against the seers. The Dark minions became more powerful.
They began to converge on the mountain that once held the Citadel. They
organized into armies and enslaved many provinces. My own is one of the
few remaining free ones. Then, it became apparent that they were
rebuilding the citadel. They could only be doing this for one reason: to
free the Dark Gods from their prison. But the Dark Gods could not be
defeated withought a Seer. So when I turned fifteen, I was sent from the
kingdom to search for a seer. For six years I have been on this quest. I
could not find any who could truly see in their dreams. The power of the
Dark Gods had blocked their sight. I was here to search for a wizard who
used to live in this cave. But when I saw you, and you recognized my name,
I knew that you were the one I was looking for. You must come to my
kingdom and help defeat the Dark Gods." Fred was awed. He had been
charged with a quest of great importance and difficulty, and he did not
know how he could accomplish it. But he knew that he could not let the
Dark Gods rule the world. And there would be rewards. He now knew that he
alone could Dream truly, and he had Dreamed that she would kiss him... But
what about the quest to defeat the dragon? He told Astra
