Isadora sat in the dark thinking. Everything had changed and so did her heart. Even though that was the case, the situation she was in was unchanging. She had made a deal with the devil and now he wanted her to do what he wants. Isadora however didn't want to do that anymore. She felt suffocated and just wanted to escape but unfortunately there was no out for her. Back then she didn't think that things would turn out this way. She didn't know that Alexa would come back to the academy and they would reconnect. Things between Alexa and her were not yet resolved but she felt like they were on the path of forgiveness. The ice Alexa used to have around her against Isadora was melting. After so many years, Isadora had reunited with Alexa and she wanted to make things right. She didn't want to be selfish like she was before. That life was too lonely. Despite of the headmistress of the academy, she had no one in her life other than Yuna. Everyone else didn't care for her. They just preten
Mercedes did the best she could to give her baby the love and nurturing she could before he had to leave her side. Alexa told her that the baby would be with Felix for the time being and she couldn't stay with him. Of course, it felt like a punch to the gut. She didn't want to get separated from Horace. She hasn't spent enough time for him to remember her. All her fears crept in her mind. Mercedes became insecure thinking that she might not live and her baby will not remember her face. He will never know that she was his mother and she loved him a lot. She didn't know her parents and doesn't even know what they might look. She jsit knows that they abandoned her left her with bad people who wanted to sell her off. She had a difficult without her parents by her side. But her situation was not like her baby's. If something happened to her, Horace would have many people to care for him. His father, Jake and Crystal, Alexa and now Yuna. They will love and protect him. She had no doubt ab
It took a full day for Mercedes to wake up. Alexa mad Yuna took turns taking care of the baby. They almost lost Mercedes but the three of them fought for her survival. Her baby boy was born with great difficulty but he was healthy. The baby had a golden rune on his forehead and his eyes were light brown and glowed in light. Alexa could sensed that he was strong baby. After what they went through with his birth, she called Felix and let him know about the situation. He left out the part where Mercedes aost died knowing that it would make him go crazy. Now they were waiting for Mercedes to wake up and finally hold her baby in her arms. She kept mumbling ' my baby' in her sleep but wasn't waking up. Alexa tried her best to heal, thankfully her wounds healed on their own because of her blood. Isadora asked her the truth about the situation and she had to come clean. She told her about Mercedes giving birth. Isadora assured that the council wouldn't be told about it because she wanted it
" Sorry to disturb you, master. I have come back from the ernad you sent me on." The man in front of him was sitting on an a cushion on the floor looking like he was meditating. He looked pale and sickly. He sighed and opened his eyes, finally looking at the man standing in front of him. " What is it? How are things going in Vaughnorths?" " You were right. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy. The time has come. You will be able to get a vessel now. A strong vessel at that." The man sounded excited by his master didn't even show any reaction upon hearing the news. He stood up and went to put on his robe. " Good. That's all I need to know. Keep watching them and let me know if anything happens." " Yes, master." He bowed his head and walked out leaving his master by himself. The master in question was none other than Drakoen. The evil andad sorcerer who threatens the realms with distruction and doom. Everyone knew him a power hungry man who wants to proclaim himself a go
Mercedes felt so exhausted. Her feet where swollen and her stomach was in pain. It was unbearable and she couldn't go on nay on longer. She wanted the baby to come out of her already. She satcon the rocking chair but she couldn't fine a comfortable position to be in. She got up and started walking around but even that was not helping. She suddenly felt too hot so she went to open the windows to let the breeze in. She was feeling on and off and the baby was once again draining her energy. The baby was strong and needed to come out. Mercedes could feel that she was nearing her labour time at any moment. Something was strange. Reina was not communicating with her. Recently, the baby had been taking in more energy than she could bare. Alexa suggested if it continued, they would have perform surgery and get the baby out. Mercedes refused and wanted to go the natural way. She wanted to wait even through the baby was taking a toll on her. She had to bare it. " Come on baby. Daddy told yo
Alexa used a portal to take him back out of the academy. Felix didn't say anything. He was lost in his thoughts. Alexa sighed. There was nothing she could do. The council wouldn't allow for him to stay. They would make a fuss and make things worse. It was not worth going through all that trouble. " You don't have to worry and go back. I will make sure to take care of her and the baby. Once the baby is born, it won't be able to stay so I'll make arrangements to send it to you." Felix's eyes widened in shook. " What? But the baby is going to need his mother more than he needs me. How will Mercedes stay without him." " She will stay with him for the first week of his birth. I know this might sound insensitive but she has no time to be a mother. She has to get back in shape as quickly as possible and be ready. She won't be able to do that and take care of the child." Felix found it heartless to separate a small baby from his mother. He wouldn't able to take care of him like she
