Off to War
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 105616
|
It had been a very long three years, and Fred, or Hannah as she now thought of herself, had never been further from knighthood. She hadn't touched a weapon for her entire apprenticeship, hadn't sparred, hadn't done anything heroic, except in the way that quietly treating patients is heroic. She had grown into a completely ordinary eighteen-year-old girl, and somewhere along the way had settled into a rhythm, even finding something like contentment. But now, as she sat alone in her wagon with all her medicinal supplies, being carted off to the battlefield, she found that everything had been turned upside down. She was about to be placed alongside people fighting as she had once fought, and she yearned for it, but at the same time the transformation magic tugged her heart away from it. She felt torn in two. She arrived at the military hospital after some weeks of traveling, and as she began to unpack, she was told that tomorrow she would ride out with the other nurses in the battle tomorrow to treat wounded knights. The Fred side of her was excited, while the Hannah part, now much stronger, tried to swallow down her fear.
