Harvest fall,Temple of Alexa
Year 402,
The days was dark.Lord paladin Edmure was writing his journal in the study as usual.The weather was gloomy as usual even in the temple of Alexa.From the window, the paladin can see the town square of Harvest fall.Despite the sky threatening to rain, the villagers didn't seem to bother the weather at all.
Then Edmure heard a knock on his door.
"Come in" the paladin replied. The door opened and Edmure saw Alice, a young acolyte who was training to become a priestess. Alice was brought to this temple since her parents died during a bandit raid last year. Her parents were farmers and Alice was only thirteen years old. The bandit killed her parents and had Edmure and the local militia not arrive in the time, the girl would have suffered the same fate or worse. "Uncle Edmure",since that day Edmure had taken her in the shelter of Saint Alexa and fathered her.
"Yes, Alice", "There is someone asking for shelter, a woman, she seems to be ill."
"Let her come in, Alice." "She also wants to meet you too she asked me your name." That was strange,the paladin usually had no visitors. "Very well, I will go there at once". Edmure took his coat, and walked to the temple door and he saw a tiefling in a cloak. She had a bulk in the abdomen. God a pregnant woman. Once the woman saw the paladin she asked him in a soft yet needy tone. Her tone showed desperations. "Are you sir Edmure? " "Yes ma'am how can I help you." "I simply ask shelter tonight in this temple." " It is granted to you."
Edmure learned from the woman that she was going to give birth and had to ask Alice to find a midwife. The night was a stormy night. Rain and thunder ruled the atmosphere. The middle-aged paladin could hear the mother to be's noises. He o.ly could pray to Saint Alexa and Goddess Fina for safety of the mother and the child.
The noises stop. Edmure was very anxious but waited patiently. Then he heard Alice, "Uncle Edmure, it's a boy."
The paladin saw a child wrapped in a black blanket the child was a tiefling like his mother his hair was dark. "What's his name, Alice?" "His mother named him" "Charis". 'Hope in the language of dragons a nice name for the child' he thought Just then the paladin remembered the mother. "Did she make it?" Alice features saddened. "No uncle but she left this for him." Alice gave Edmure the very quiet baby boy.And she fidget into her pocket and showed Edmure a ring. The ring was pure platinum with runes sketched inside it.
The runes were in draconic and hues a red glow. The paladin keeped the ring in his pocket and spoke. "Alice, we got a new family member".
