So it is revealed....

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 13124

Scott settles down, and begins the LONG process of telling about the of how he got here, and a thumbnail of what appears to be happening, he answers Jenny Elf's questions in great detail (Author Note: I happen to like Jenny Elf in Xanth, sue me).

She is the last person to ask questions.

"So, if Sammy was to use reverse wood on Sammy, he'd find nothing but home?" she asks. (Author Note: I fully acknowledge the lady who came up with this idea: bravo zulu! Nice to know someone by me thought of it, also. Yes, I was the man mentioned in the Author Notes in "A Roc and a Hard Place." My fifteen minutes of fame!)

"Well, maybe." Scott qualified, remembering something. "It might work out that he'll be able to find NOTHING at all! Reverse wood can be touchy stuff!"

"Tell me about it!" Irene mutters to herself.

"And my tribe is probably gone to....Sorrows End or somewhere else.....because the Gottora human tribe burned the Wolfriders out? Cutter, my Chief, is Recognised to a brown skinned Sun Folk Healer by the name of Leetah?"

"Yes." Scott affirmed. "Even had two twins by Leetah: Ember and Suntop! And that Rayek....kidnapped them through time.....causing Cutter a lot of hearache!"

The others look thoughtful, thinking what it would be like to miss, and never forgetting, about your missing loved ones for hundreds of years. Staggering.

"If it had been me fighting Rayek in that Troll cavern in their final settling....I'd have killed him." Scott says quietely. "I'm not an elf....at least not right now.....but even if I was, I'd never forgive or forget what that SOB had done to me if I was Cutter. Getting the crap kicked out of him, in my humble human opinion, was entirely too lenient of punishment for Rayek!"

The other mutter agreement.

Jenny finally speaks: "And this....werewolf I meet in the future....or whatever...."

"He's probably alive right now, or some contemporary version of him who hasn't met you yet....." Scott says. "I'd say you could seek him out, help him! That Curse Fiend probably still threw that curse on him. He needs help! I'm not saying you should dive right in and......Welll, maybe you can start by dating him?"

Jenny nods thoughtfully, liking that idea.

"Well, I guess we can truthfully say we are ALL not 'from where were from.'" Scott says with a smirk. The elder Chex winces.

"Well, that was a tale and a half." Humfrey says in a subdued voice.

"All those wives on a rotating basis?!" Scott hears Humfrey mutter to himself. Scott smiles sadly. It was quite a shock for the old boy, but he'd find out sooner or latter. Better sooner, gently, than abruptly, latter!

"I need to consult the Book!" Humfrey decides. He rushes off without another word.

"Now we are getting somewhere."

  1. Humfrey comes and says......
