“Adroe?” I look down at the pup who is looking up at me “do you like that name little one?” he stares at me “who do you want to be?” he stares at me and giggles “Rayvorn okay, you shall be called Adroe Rayvorn blessed by the Empress” I kiss his forehead and it glows lightly then fades.
I pass him back to Adriel who smiles “thank you for your kindness your Majesty” “you are welcome, we must be on our way, please I beg of you be careful and if anything happens no matter how small, reach out to me”
“We will you majesty, be careful on your way and may the Elements be with you”
They bow and I open a portal to the Winter Wards Palace and we step through “ahh your Majesty you’re here”
“As am I” “Lord Dawson, welcome to our domain” “thank you” “please follow us, we’ll take you first to the room she gave birth then down the path they took to her escape”
Dawson and I follow them and they enter a room, you can still smell the faint scent of blood from the delivery in the room, in the corner I see a Wisp just fidgeting back and forth there quietly, I suppose my eyes on her catches Lord Sephians’ eyes.
“She is Sereya, the Wisp who was hurt”
“Please come here” I extend my arm to her and she slowly makes her way over to me and she places her hand over mine probably thinking I would not be able to hold onto her but I do and she is very surprised and so are the Wards “please bare with the discomfort, but I need to see and experience what occurred here and this is the only way to know for sure”
Her voice sounds like wind chimes but I understand what she says whatever you need my Empress “thank you” I close my eyes and channel her thoughts and once I pick up on her wavelength and summon her memories “infra” her memories begin flashing through my mind, I speed past them to get to the one today.
That is the only kink about searching memories, you always seem to start from the beginning and have to work you way to the point in time you need, thankfully I have mastered speeding through it.
Ahh here we are!
..... VISION......
I sympathize with you she wolf, I am sure the pain of bringing new life into the world is great, a great pain I will never be able to bare, in a way I envy you, the normal creatures of the world who are able to love and procreate, okay you need to push she wolf, push that’s great now take a moment to catch your breath and push again, ahh I can see the head, come on little one, it’s time to greet the world, how about you give your mom some help and wiggle a bit for us to free your shoulders, that’s great you’re both doing great, you dad is here waiting to meet you too!
You’re free! Good job to you both! Let’s get you cleaned up and wrapped up so you can meet your parents, can someone help mom deliver the placenta while I clean the little one up!
Okay little one, you’re all clean, let’s swaddle you and take you to your dad, congratulations, you have a son, that must be so exciting! Alright now let’s clean mom up.
Mom is clean and strapped in still, she seems very weak which is understandable, perhaps I should offer her something nourishing, ahh she refused, okay I suppose she will heal herself on her own terms then.
My lords the she wolf has delivered, it is a healthy male pup, I watch as the Winter Wards enter the room. Mali asks to see her pup and Adriel passes him to her then they leave with the pup.
Are you comfortable, I wonder, perhaps I should try offering the soup again, maybe now she’s more settled she’d want nourishing ahhh, what is this?
If you don’t want to be hurt I suggest you quietly lead me out of this room to the nearest exit and the most secluded route would be best.
H-How can she touch me like this? It hurts so much, I’m beginning to turn Grey I said move! At a time like this I wish I had mindlink, by the elements it hurts so much, okay think think Sereya...... perfect! I shall lead her to the forbidden door, the route there is secluded like she wants but only my Lords can open it, hopefully they find me before she discovers I have tricked her and kills me.
That is if I don’t die before, from this wound she has caused upon me, I can feel myself getting weaker and weaker the further along we go are you sure this is the right way Wisp?! Yes of co-course it is.
my mother comments without even looking away from me, "how are you doing love?" "I'm fine, wait! what about the pups? are they okay?"I touch her stomach and close my eyes "yes mother, they're just fine" "what happened? after we lost consciousness?"Someone from behind me spoke up "we searched everywhere for Mali your majesty, one of the guards spotted her fleeing at the edge of the forest and lost her in the tree lines where it's thicker Two days ago""Two days? we've been out of it for two days?" "yes your majesty" "by the elements, she must have gone so far by now, but how could you let her get past the guards and she was wounded, heavily wounded too! we need to send word out quickly so others can be on the look out for her""Your majesty if I may""Tabitha dear, what on earth happened to you?""Well that is what I was getting around to your majesty, you see she came to my lodging, she burst in as my beloved and I were preparing some herbs to aide you in your healing, we tried to f
A small sob escapes my lips then I steel my heart “where do we need to go?” “to the Willow Peak Mountain, there is a special plant that grows there that can restore life”I was about to open a portal when Tabitha walked by me seemingly to pick up a basket when a faint scent catches my nose, like rotting meat, I turn and look around looking for the source of the scent.“Is everything alright?”“Hmm? Yes, it is, do you have everything you’d need?”“Yes, let’s go”Again I was about to open the portal when a loud bump catches my attention then a muffled cry, I move towards the source of the sound and break it open, Tabby and her beloved comes tumbling out bloody, gagged and tied.“What the hell?!”Tabbys eyes widen and she gives a muffled sound “mmm mmmmmm” I turn and barely manage to dodge an attack and her face changes, it’s a slim sickly looking woman who stinks, she has veins everywhere and claw marks on her.“It’s you! You’re the one who hurt my parents!”She cackles, “and soon you
I would normally be tucked into the corner but now with my active bladder he relented and let me have the end so I can get up easily, him putting me in the corner his way of, and I quote protecting me, if anything happens he’d be at the front to protect or be attacked first so I’d have time to get away I told him that’s absolute nonsense but hey, it is what it is.He snuggles me into him and I soon dose off, ‘-ke up’ who’s talking? My body feels so heavy, what is that smell? Ugh it’s disgusting! ‘-ake up! Stupid human!’ my eyes open and I feel so groggy, there’s so much chaos in the room, Dawson is fighting, but who is he fighting?I feel so heavy, ugh my head, I try sitting up “-son” what’s wrong with my voice, I roll and slide off the bed and land on my feet and try to prise myself up from squatting to standing, I sense movement above me and manage to catch a glance at Mali’s face, she looks terrible, what is she holding.“YOU TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME, SO NOW YOU MUST DIE! I WIL
Please my Lords quickly come and save Sereya, we’re here! A door! Aghh why won’t it open?! How do you open this door! If you do not wish to lose your life Wisp open this fkin door now!SEREYA?! SEREYA?! Finally my masters are coming shit! Shit! Shit! Where is she taking me? Ahh! Up here? Losing consciousness, my lords I’m, I’m here........ VISION END .......“So Sereya didn’t see what method she used, she only got damaged from her hold on her but I suppose that in it self is quite telling as, even though I am able to hold onto you, I am not hurting you”“The main concern is, where she could have gone, I mean it is only a matter of time before she begins to give off the rotting stench, eating a heart from a witch will only result in her slowly poisoning herself until she self destructs, I am surprised she’s lasted this long”“I suppose it had something to do with the pup, perhaps the extra being in her body held off on the symptoms, now the pup is gone it’s taken it’s course, alright
“Adroe?” I look down at the pup who is looking up at me “do you like that name little one?” he stares at me “who do you want to be?” he stares at me and giggles “Rayvorn okay, you shall be called Adroe Rayvorn blessed by the Empress” I kiss his forehead and it glows lightly then fades.I pass him back to Adriel who smiles “thank you for your kindness your Majesty” “you are welcome, we must be on our way, please I beg of you be careful and if anything happens no matter how small, reach out to me”“We will you majesty, be careful on your way and may the Elements be with you”They bow and I open a portal to the Winter Wards Palace and we step through “ahh your Majesty you’re here”“As am I” “Lord Dawson, welcome to our domain” “thank you” “please follow us, we’ll take you first to the room she gave birth then down the path they took to her escape”Dawson and I follow them and they enter a room, you can still smell the faint scent of blood from the delivery in the room, in the corner I se
“Please understand my Empress we do not have the kind of senses that Wolves do and in the moment we did not see her when we looked up, there was a ledge where she perched herself and hid and we did not smell her, but back to the situation, she stabbed Harrow and ran through the gate way and dropped Sereya who was unconscious”“We did not chase after her because we needed to make sure our people are looked after first and now here we are”Zeenon taps Sephian and whispers something to him “ah yes, I am not sure how true it is but once Sereya gained consciousness she told us that Mali is a Witch, based on what her experience is she is positive that Mali is now a Witch, we think she may have eaten one of their hearts and inherited their power or a Witch passed the power down to her which we know would never happen so it may be the former rather than the latter”I am in no condition to go hunting for Mali or anyone at this point but I need to get her back, if the Wisp is correct and she ha
