An Unexpected Encounter

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 94009

Fred and Siva blinked, their eyes not yet adjusted to the sudden daylight. Meanwhile the man with the clipboard stared at them. "Who the hell are you two supposed to be?" he said. "I didn't think that any of the actors for the various reenactments had arrived yet. Is the woman supposed to be Princess Astra? If so, then why the sigils? And I'm sorry lady, but you don't look athletic enough and your hair is the wrong colour. But most of all, why are you completely naked? This is supposed to be an attraction for all the family. I know that the legends that have been handed down say that Astra was nude for most of the time, but we have to make some compromises."

Fred and Siva just goggled at him. At least their eyes had adjusted enough to be able to see him now, but his words made no sense.

The man went on: "But the man is very good. He looks just like I imagined Lord Fred might look. Are you actually supposed to be Fred, or some other Allarian knight?"

  1. One of the reasons the man's words have made no sense is that they are in an unfamiliar language. Siva can do something about that. She starts to sing and her sigils begin to writhe, as she casts a spell (much to the man's bafflement).
  2. Meanwhile other people, including the beautiful brunette, have noticed Fred and Siva and are approaching.
  3. "Supposed to be?" Fred says in an aggrieved tone. "I am Lord Frederigo D'Honaire. Who are you, and what is happening here?" (Evidently the language hasn't changed that radically over the centuries, as they can understand one another.)

JH (BTW Fred has never met Astra in this branch, which will make him even more confused)
