Good News, Bad News

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 9479

"I thought she said her name was Zara?" queried Astra. [4924] Velus realised that he could be in big trouble. Though he was young, he had already had many girlfriends, and he had mixed two of them up. "Er, slip of the tongue," he said.

Zara gave him a doubtful look, but decided to let it pass. Instead she asked: "Who are your friends, Velus?" "This is Princess Astra of Aqualaria and this is Lord Frederigo D'Honaire." "My goodness," said Zara, hurriedly standing so that she could curtsey." "No need for that," said Astra. "Anyway, I'm not sure what etiquette has to say about curtseying to a princess when she isn't wearing any clothes. Now, may I have a look at the scroll you've found, please."

Astra silently read through the scroll, then said: "There is good news and there is bad news. Zara, you are quite right in thinking that this scroll, if read aloud, will remove the Curse of Lycaeon. However, it will only do so for one person - the person who reads it aloud - after which it will crumble into dust...

  1. "You found the scroll, so you should be the one to benefit from it. I will tell you how to pronounce the long words that you were having trouble with."
  2. "Toss you for it. Does anyone have a coin?"
