The Never Ending Quest - Episode 9119

She could consult Malin, but something about the fellow just rubbed her the wrong way! Oh, he was polite and proper, but there was just something of the arrogant one within him. Something similar to her brother (before he was banished for an unforgivable crime) came to mind.....a sense of something of the spoiled child....

Astra 8 felt Malin was a braggart.....

That wasn't fair on Malin, but Astra's senses told her that Malin wasn't the type of man she would call a friend. Oh, she was sure that the man was loyal....but she'd not suffer a braggart (even IF he had been able to restore Anina to this state.....)

But what to do?

"I guess I could pray....." Astra begins....drawing a curious look from Anina (who had quietly been waiting for Astra to tell her to do something).

Astra snaps her fingers, and then laughs.

While she considered herself a good Christian, she had little real hope in something that approached divine intervention. A favor from on high.

But she knew of one man....a Paladin from Ethiopia (who was not popular with the Queen for reasons that Astra 8 hadn't looked into as of yet) who was visiting from the recently acquired city of Walants. Nathias of the House of John, former King of Ethiopia, was a very DEVOTE man.....and perhaps if Astra 8 was able to perhaps send a prayer up Above......

Well, it might work.....

It isn't like the Lord was at Nathias' beck and call, but there tended to be a..... tendency for some good things to come to Paladins who pray.....


Later, Nathias nods and smiles at the request from the General of Aqualaria.

"I do not see why I should object to making a humble request to the Lord," the paladin says. "Though Anina is a pagan.....I think that a prayer from both of us should would not hurt.....for it is of a good cause."

  1. Perhaps something will be found form this to "rekindle" the fighting spirit within Anina?
