"Well," said Fred, "it's your turn, Velus. Remember, you're playing the X's."

Velus was getting sick of hearing Fred say that. Of course he was playing the X's! What other shape could he draw in the dirt without opposable thumbs? However, the thought of winning calmed him down, and he played in the bottom-right corner.

"Curses, Velus! You won again! I can't beleive I'm being beaten by a dog!"

Velus growled. He was also getting sick of being called a dog.

Fred surveyed the ground; they had played eleven games since Astra had descended, and hadn't heard from her. "I wonder what she's up to?" said Fred aloud. Velus looked at him puzzled.

Just then, a glowing light came down from the ceiling and stopped behind Fred. Velus recoiled in fear.

"What is it, boy? It looks like you've just seen a ghost!"

"That isn't far from the truth," came Astra's voice from behind Fred.

Fred jumped in shock and fell over the cliff. "Fred!" yelled Astra. However, Fred was able to grab on to the rope soon enough, and pull himself back up.

"Don't ever do that again!" Fred screamed.

"Do what? Die?"

Fred seemed not to hear her. "When did you come back out of the pit?"

"I didn't."

"What do you mean you didn't? How the hell did you get back up here?"

"I was killed. What you see here is my ghost."

"Oh very funny."

"I'm not being funny. Can't you see I'm now wearing a robe?"

"Okay then, suppose I beleive you; what killed you?"

"The bones down there!"

Fred looked skeptically over the ledge. There was a pile of bones on the floor.

"I swear, they came to life and attacked me!"

"Oh sure. If you're a ghost, prove it."

  1. "Okay, put your hand up"
  2. "Okay, pull out your sword"
  3. "Okay, I'll show you by possessing you"
