Unchained Melody

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 88585

Fred was still skeptical, but he put his hand up anyway. Astra put her hand up as well, and tried to put her hand against his. Her hand went clean through. Fred felt a cold tingling, and his heart skipped a beat. He was beginning to feel afraid.

Just then, Velus began howling. "Woooooo, ar-arouuuooooo! Arf, arf, woooooo!"

Fred looked quizically at him. "What's he doing?"

"He's making fun of us," Astra explained, "by singing the Unchained Melody."

"The what?"

Astra sighed. "In Aquilaria we have this play called Ghost where that song is played in a particularly emotional moment."

Velus stopped 'singing' and started panting. Either he was out of breath, or was pleased Astra had gotten the reference

"Wait," said Fred, "you mean a play? As in a theater play?"

"Well, yeah."

"So all that stuff you said you knew about ghosts, you got it out of a play?"

"Sort of. You didn't actually beleive we 'studied the undead' in Aquilaria, did you?"

"Ha! I can't beleive it. A play?!"

"Well, what I knew or didn't know about ghosts is irrelevant now, because I am one!"

"Oh sure! And why, pray, would anyone want to kill you?"

Astra didn't have a reason ready, but before she could even formulate a guess...

  1. ...the ghost of the woman rose again
  2. ...the skeleton appeared over the edge of the ledge
