Dreamed Into Life

[Ravna]

Ravna glares at her wife. "Absolutely not. She goes into exile. I want her far from you."

[Illianna]

I nod "then I'll send word to the red army to come get her at the border." I say in commen. "You're very lucky, my fathers head will be on a spike by weeks end." I say coldly

[Countess Elaina Moorwood]

"You cold hearted whore! How could you do this to us! We've done nothing but love you he kept you alive when the church wanted to burn you! Ungreaful brat!"

[Ravna]

Ravna reaches up and slaps her, hard, giving no mercy. "Do not speak again."

[Illianna]

The guards show her out and a letter is drawn up to send directly to the empower himself. Then a feast is organized to celebrate. It's been a long year but the war is over and now we can deal with the Russ empire and raise our child in peace. I smile listening to the toasts around us whe suddenly my face drops.

[Ravna]

Ravna scowls, turning away from her conversation to Illiana. "Love? What is wrong?"

[Illianna]

My stomach churns. I can hear the plant in my stomach I can feel it. Mother's tears, it's called, and aboriffic drug. I jam my fists as hard as I can into my stomach turning to the side and vomiting onto the floor. The hard black pills nor clearly visible no longer hidden in my food. There's four or five clearly in the bile. I look up tears in my eyes "I need a healer now."

[Ravna]

Illiana is treated to something she's never heard in such close, echoy quarters: Ravna's full-on battle cry. She screams her rage and challenge to the world, then scoops up her stunned wife and runs flat-out to the healers. 

[Illianna]

We wait breathless and fearful as the healers check me over, finally after two hours the news is shared. The baby is safe. My quick acting saved us.  Still, I stay in bed for the next five months and no strenuous activities.

Once they leave I turn to ravna "find them. Find those who would kill our child and kill them. Kill my father and his whore as it's their doing. Protect our child love. Once their safe stay by my side please."

[Ravna]

"I will. I promise you. I will."

[Illianna]

The months fly by. The red armory agrees to many trades and treites. Elaina and my father are out to death for attempted regaciced along with those who aided them. Peace comes to our land. Our first child is a boy ravno.

Their raging is prosperous with three children to them two girls and a boy after many happy years they pass the throne on to their grown sun. A truest happy life
