CROWNED BY BLOOD
"Twins."
Twins. Two heirs, two futures, two souls that would carry forward everything I had fought to preserve. The second wave of labor hit like a landslide, overwhelming in its intensity and duration.
I screamed again, and this time I felt something else power. Not the careful, controlled magic I had learned to wield, but something wilder, more primal. Something ancient within me unlocked, something deeper than blood, deeper than the magic that ran through my veins like liquid starlight. It crackled through my entire being, a living storm of divine energy that made the air itself hum with potential.
