Hannah could not think of a reason this would not be acceptable. She agreed. Elgorim was not nearly as powerful as Belboz, and had to accomplish this regression via a series of incantations, symbols drawn on the floor around Hannah, and potions. It took a couple of days, and Hannah felt very strange the whole time, but by nightfall on the second day, she appeared as she had only a few years into her marriage with Henry. The children were understandably aghast at the change in their mother, and though she explained the situation to them, many, of course, did not understand. However, a fair portion of them were at least willing to give Elgorim a chance. Not as many as Hannah would have wanted, but she hoped the rest would come around soon. She and Elgorim were married as planned. A few inhabitants of the nearby village attended, and murmured among themselves about how young Hannah now looked and how her groom was obviously a practitioner of magic. One bit of magic Elgorim was quite gifted in was loosening people's tongues. He took a survey and found that almost all of Hannah's children were very leery of him and would rather he not be around.
