Kindly Old Uncle Belboz

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 18512

As Hannah stood there, bawling her eyes out, Belboz reached down and scooped up the terrified toddler. "There, there, little one," he said in a soothing voice. "There's no need to fret or cry. Old Uncle Belboz has everything in hand." With a minor gesture, Hannah's underwear was once again clean and dry.

Eventually, the knight-turned-child ceased her crying. "How- how come you did this?" she asked between sniffles.

"Oh, I have my reasons - none of which are any concern of a lovely little girl like yourself. Now," he entered a smaller room, "You just stay in here and play for a while, and later, I'll make you a snack. Doesn't that sound nice, Hannah?"

"Cookie?"

"Yes, a nice big cookie."

"Okay," Hannah smiled. Then, she frowned again. "But I can'ts stay. I got go fights a dra- a dra- a big ugly monster!"

"Well, we'll see," Belboz said. He deposited Hannah in the room, which had toys of various kinds scattered all around. "Right now, though, just have some fun in here. Uncle Belboz has some things he has to do, okay?"

"Um - okay. We go fights the monster thing later?"

"Maybe. Now be a good girl for Uncle Belboz, okay?"

"Kay."


It was a combination of magic and biology that did it. With a child's reduced ability to understand adult concepts and shortened attention span acentuated by Belboz's spells, Hannah had became the innocent, playful 3-year old she appeared to be.

Belboz watched with satisfaction as Hannah gleefully bounced a bright red ball around the room, childishly giggling and screaming with glee. No trace remained of the brace knight who had barged into his domain, looking to slay the dragon. After a while, he cleared his throat and said, "Hello, Hannah. Are you ready for that snack?"

The little girl squealed happily. "Unca Behboz!" she cried, running to hug his legs. "We gonna have cookies now?"

"Just as I promised, my dear," he smiled as he conjured up a plate of fresh cookies. He stopped and said, "Of course, if you like, we could go hunting monsters first."

Hannah scrunched up her face. "Nuh-uh! Monsters is icky! I wanna eats a cookie and then I gonna plays more ball with my dollies and stuff!"

"As you wish," Belboz said with a smile.
