Growing Up Hannah

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 107988

Melma had no notion that not one week prior, this little girl had been one of the bravest and strongest knights the kingdom had to offer. Her magic was not as strong as Belboz's, and he knew that she would not be able to sense that there was anything unusual about this girl. Indeed, given enough time, not even the most powerful sorcerer would. Sir Fred would be irrecoverable.

The story that Belboz had told his kindhearted sister was that the girl's parents had succumbed to the plague, and she was one of few in her village to survive. Melma knew that her brother was not exactly the fatherly type, so she gladly accepted the task of taking the girl on as her own daughter.

He carried the still-sleeping child inside, and Melma showed them to a small room with a small bed, an open chest full of toys, and pink curtains framing the window. Belboz surveyed it, smiling in amusement at how girly it was. That this was what the knight had become, what Belboz had made him into, would never not be funny to him.

"You like it?" Melma said, seeing her brother's smile. "I thought I did pretty well. It's not much, but I hope she can be happy here. I will do my very best."

"I trust that you will, my sister," Belboz said, walking over to the bed and laying Hannah down in it. She stirred a bit, and opened her eyes blearily. "Hey, Hannah," Belboz said softly, laying his hand on her head. "Uncle Belboz is going now. I'll come and visit every once in a while. Be good for Mommy, okay?"

Hannah manages to keep her eyes open for a few more seconds, but they slip closed and she shifts a bit in her sleep.

Melma and Belboz duck out of the room.

  1. Two days later, Melma learns the importance of childproofing one's house when Hannah finds a potion on her counter and begins drinking.
  2. One month later, the court wizard of King Emry, who first sent Fred on his quest, comes knocking and asking Melma if she has come across a Sir Fred recently, as he has gone missing, and his trail has been tracked to her cottage.
  3. Six months later, Melma decides Hannah needs to grow up playing with other children, so she sets aside time a few days a week to teleport with Hannah to the nearest village so she can make friends with the children there.
  4. One year later, Belboz comes to visit for the first time, ready to condition Hannah as much as he deems necessary.
  5. Five years later, Melma begins teaching Hannah how to use magic herself.
  6. Eight years later, Melma realizes in horror, while studying imprints she took of Hannah when first adopting her, that she was really a man under a curse.
  7. Twelve years later, Melma decides it is time to start looking for a husband for Hannah.
  8. Twenty years later, the dragon that Hannah, in another life as Fred, was commissioned to kill, sets the area ablaze and kills Melma. Hannah vows to have revenge in the form of the dragon's head on a stick.
