A Visit from Belboz

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 108426

"No," the former knight whispered in horror—more than likely the last thing he would ever say.

The girl's head suddenly felt as if it were about to split open. She doubled over, clutching it in her hands—and all at once, she was fine. She stumbled, and looked back up into the face of her guest: a kindly-looking older gentleman in a long robe and a concerned expression. He looked so familiar... "Are you all right, my dear?" he asked.

"Yes, I deeply apologize, I'm fine..." She peered into his face for a moment more, and suddenly her mind cleared and her eyes widened. "Belboz!" She flung her arms around him, and he nearly fell over backwards with the force of the embrace, but he hugged her back. She drew away, and said, cheeks flushed with excitement, "It's been too long!"

"My dear, since you met Henry and became a wife and mother you have become even more beautiful," the necromancer said graciously, with an avuncular smile.

She beamed. "Since I don't believe I've ever said it, thank you so much for introducing us."

"Oh, tish tosh."

"Please, come in!" She held the door open wider and shut it once Belboz had entered. "So what brings you here?"

"Well, I...

  1. have heard of how busy you have become, and I thought I might come and offer my services. A young woman such as yourself needs her rest, after all."
  2. have recently moved in close by, and have come to meet your children. I sense that a few of them may even have some natural proficiency in magic, which I would wish to encourage."
  3. am overjoyed to inform you that, since the passing of your Aunt Meg years ago, a large sum of inheritance has been discovered that is your right. Life for your family is about to get much easier."
  4. heard tell from a very reliable source that the dragon is headed in the direction of your village. I was concerned for your family's safety."
