Arahim Sees the Pigs

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 115374

This was really working well for Belboz, and he saw no reason to change the situation anytime soon.

He was reading one day, with the pigs, whom he still referred to by their names, napping near his feet, when the large bell at the front of his cavern home rang. It was Arahim, court wizard of the king of Allaria, and an old friend he hadn't seen in many years.

He admitted Arahim in, and they retired to the parlor to catch up. After several minutes, in wandered Hannah the young potbelly pig. Arahim laughed. "Didn't fancy you the type to keep pigs!"

"Just trying it out. They've really grown on me, you know?" He patted Hannah's back, fishing a treat out of his pocket.

"They? How many've you got?"

"Just the two."

Arahim nodded, and was quiet for a moment before saying,

  1. "Say, Belboz, I heard a rumor that you got yourself hitched, even adopted a child. I suppose it was just that, a rumor?"
  2. "Shot in the dark, but would you be willing to sell? There's a type of magical herb I've found pigs are excellent at sniffing out, and I've been trying to expand my collection. They'd be trained and treated kindly and I'd give you top dollar."
  3. "Where did you get those pigs, Belboz? I sense some magic about this one."
