Reunited

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 90131

With the great power that Elaine now had, it was no problem for her to teleport herself to an adjacent cavern to the one where her former friends currently were. Then she walked the short distance between the two caves.

Now that her eyes were blind, she could not see the expressions on their faces when they saw her. But with her new magical sense she could feel their alarm. "It's all right!" she called. "I managed to get the ring off. See!" She held up both her hands. "I am no longer under Belboz's influence. I am deeply ashamed of the bad things that I have done. However I'm afraid that, without the ring, I can't undo them." For she knew that, if she were to undo the changes in them they would see that her power was undiminished and would assume that she still had the ring. (Though the greater part of her power now came from the dragon- fire, that was something that she did not want to reveal. She knew it would alarm them even more.) Of course, if she could not admit to her power, it did raise the question of how she was going to restore Sigin without anyone, even Sigin himself, suspecting.

She went on: "When I removed the ring, after a great mental struggle, it left me with a curse. I am now blind."

"So how did you manage to find us?" Fred asked.

"My own innate magical ability was just great enough for me to do so."

  1. They believed her. Or if some had doubts, they kept them to themselves.
  2. "So what happened to Minestus?" Astra asked. "We know that you must have fought him, as the mountain shook. You presumably must have done so before removing the ring."
  3. Adele said: "I may not be much of a mage, but I can't help but detect the power that's flowing from you. But it's not the ring; it's dragon-fire! You've killed Minestus and his power has passed to you! But why do you want to be friends with us again?"
