The knight

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 88662

Fred, the Allarian knight, came forward cautiously, but quickly. He was following Velus, a small (but rather intelligent) dog that had previously slept at the foot of the princess.

Princess Astra didn't know their names, of course, but he couldn't help feeling there was something wrong with Fred... like he was going to do something very stupid at any moment, making Astra want to beat the stuffing out of him... like he was an accident waiting to happen.

"But I have this funny feeling," she thought to herself. "It's like a warning. As if I knew something very bad would happen if I'm mean to this knight. How can that be possible? Could it be I know him? Or is it just the feeling that if I scare him away, I'll be stuck here forever?"

She stopped, for Fred had started walking more slowly. Velus had run ahead of them both and was calling back to Fred. Apparently he was leading Fred past her, but Fred could do nothing better than oogle at her. She watched nervously as his eyes darted from her hair, to her muscular biceps, to her breasts.

A whirlwind of thoughts and emotions filled her in an instant. On the one hand, what was wrong with this man? Had he come all this way only to stare at her in her misery? If he was following the dog, why didn't he just get on with it? It was infuriating!

On the other hand, she remembered the men from her warrior kingdom. Men always liked girls, to gaze upon them, to oogle them. Why did men have to be like this? It was exasperating!

On yet another hand, did he want anything from her, other than to oogle her? Was he going to kidnap her away from her kidnapper? Was he going to sacrifice her to some bloodthirsty god? Or was he only going to sacrifice her to his desires? It was making her nervous!

On yet another hand, this could be her only chance of being unchained. Should she use it? Could she trust him? Especially with that nagging feeling that he was an accident waiting to happen? How could she possibly be feeling hope and despair together?

And lastly, how many hands did she have? How many times had she thought "on the other hand" or something related? How many emotions could a girl like her feel together? This was getting ridiculous, and the knight was staring to leave.

She could not waste the chance. She called out to him:

  1. "Hey, stop staring at me, you creep!"
  2. "Don't just stand there! Unchain me!"
