A terrible threat - but why...?

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 9422

Fred paled on hearing this, and Belboz went on, "There's a great many places one might go after death, but Pyrranisus greatly desires to monopolize the whole process--claiming every single soul in Allaria. The process has already begun. Even now there are many souls that need liberation." He turned somberly to the now terrified knight-turned-girl, and informed her, "I'm afraid, young one, that in order to face him, you shall first have to die."

Fred was aghast. "Th-that's insane! How can I be sure you're telling the truth?"

From his generous sleeve Belboz produced a crystal ball, which he waved his hand over before presenting it to Fred. In it, she saw horrific images of souls being pulled into a pit of bones and darkness, and over it all laughed a dark lord wielding a staff of power and crowned with horns.

She sat back, shaking all over. At last she looked up at Belboz and asked, her voice small and trembling, "Why did I have to become a young girl to do this?"

Belboz nodded sagely. "I know it must be so confusing.

  1. Pyrranisus likes to take the souls of girls who died young and alone to serve as his nearest handmaidens. This way you will have the opportunity to be close to him."
  2. Pyrranisus has a young son by the name of Thanatos whom you will have to woo in order to get close to the dread lord."
  3. Young girls such as the one I have made you into are the only ones Pyrranisus takes pity on, at the behest of his queen consort, Proserpina. This way, you shall not go directly to the underworld to be trapped."
  4. The prophecy goes on to say, 'A girlish form will soften the heart / Of a brave dead hero, who'll play a part.' So you can expect to find help down there. My guess is that hero knew a teenaged girl in life, and this form will be the motivation he needs."
  5. But I'm afraid I don't know. Just following the prophecy. Hopefully that information will be revealed to you in due time."
