"Okay Daine we're going to get the pain down with Cordon Roots. Labor is
pretty stressful so just relax." Alanna said. In truth she was a little
worried, Cordon Roots were the best for easing the pain but in the last
couple years children whose Mother used them in the delivery had birth
defects. but studies showed this was not the root but you could never be to
sure. She shook off the worry after all her kids were fine and she used
the roots too. She gave Daine the potion. Daine looked dazed at first
after drinking the potion the determined.
Numair came in followed by Ouna "Daine! You are having the baby! This is so exciting! I am going to be a dad! Then I could tea-"
Ouna put her hand over his mouth and said, "Shut-up Numair, Alanna's losing her concentration!"
"Sorry I am just so excited. I could teach him astrology, algebra, geo- "Numair started tugging his nose
Alanna interrupted "Calm down or get out! Besides, it is a girl.
"How do you know your magic doesn't tell that!"
"My magic says it's strong so it has to be a girl"
"But-"
"NUMAIR SIT!"
He sat quickly.
Daine heard only half of this because the Cordon roots were giving her a vision.
She was in the great hall doorway. There in the middle of the room a big shadow, huge towering over Numair and Lord Raoul put together. Numair was standing a few feet from the Shadow throwing black magic at it. It was only stopping it for a moment at a time. They had to destroy the shadow. Daine did not know why she just did. She ran to Numair to help him but he yelled at her "No! Take care of Cris!" She stopped and looked back Cris was standing in the doorway. She did not know how she knew this either. Cris was about 15. Black hair, like Numair's. Gray eye's, like Daine's. Stubborn face, like Daine's. And very tall, like Numair. "Ugh" the sound made her look back. Numair was down! She ran to him and knelt by his side he was alive but unconscious she had no hope of getting him out of the way. "Pa! Ma!" Cris muttered but Daine heard it as if she were right next to the child. She looked right at Cris right into those eyes, those gray eyes and Daine saw something she never seen before silver flashed in the eyes.
A baby's cry woke her; a bundle was in her arms and Numair by her side. She looked into the baby's eyes'. They were glinting silver.
"See I knew it would be a girl!" Alanna said
"What should we name her Daine?" Numair asked
Alanna opened the door to the room letting in a few people and said "Jean?"
"Thayet?" Thayet said
"Ouna?" Ouna said
"Buri?" Buri said
"Jonathan?" The king said "Oh it's a girl never mind then"
That brought Daine back with a laugh "Cristell or Cris for short"
"Than Cristell it is!" Numair said and everyone came to see her and praise her.
