Backwards is the only way

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 88358

"Deceased?! How is a wizard that's deceased going to help us?"

"There is only one way, I must send you back in time to when the wizard was still alive."

"What? Send us back in time?"

"Yes. I cannot come with you. You will arrive at the time I was still chained to the wall."

"Big deal; I'll find you and break the chains again."

"This time it isn't going to be so easy. The magic sending you back will have a side effect: there actually will be a curse this time and my chains will only be breakable by magic."

"But, as far as I know, you didn't have any magic powers before the lamp sucked you in!"

"Precisely. You'll need to ask the Wizard of Kalimbo to break my bonds, as well."

Fred sighed. "Well, if you're sure it will work and is the only way, go for it."

"Oh, and another thing, remember you'll be just arriving at this cave; nobody knows you spent all that time in the market; which reminds me: you won't be able to take the things you picked up with you."

"Okay. Go for it."

"I need you to ask it first."

"I already said 'go for it.' What more do you need?"

Astra stared blankly at him. "This is literal magic. I need you to say, 'I want you to send me back to when the wizard was alive,' or something."

"Okay, 'I want you to send me back to when the wizard was alive, or something'."

Astra gave one final despective glance at Fred. Then she raised her arms, and concentrated. Soon, the entire tunnel was glowing so brightly, Fred and Velus couldn't even see each other.

When the light returned to normal, they found themselves in another tunnel, and saw a naked damsel that looked like Astra chained in the distance. Despite what the future's Astra had said, Fred felt compelled to try to break the chains before setting off.

  1. It was Astra, alright
  2. It wasn't Astra! They landed in the wrong time!
