Together As One
Ch 9
Izz was feeling weak in the house. Something wasn't right.
It was to do with this new kid hanging around the house.
His fur had went from grey to white. "She mustn't believe in magic. That's why this is happening." He thought as he saw Carley come in.
She looked worried.
"What's wrong?" she asked him.
"There's a non believer in the house. This only happens if one is near magical creatures." He told her coughing.
She then closed the door to Leah's room so Kendra wouldn't make Elisa sick.
Leah understood when she explained to her.
"Will he die?" David asked her worried.
"I hope not. Maybe if I take him to Aria, he'll be okay." Carley told them.
Leah nodded as a portal opened and she went through it with Izz in her arms.
"I hope he gets better soon. I wonder why Kendra made him sick." She thought as Kendra left.
Elisa then came out of her hiding place as Leah entered the room. She looked like she'd been crying.
"What's wrong?" she asked her sitting on her bed.
"It's Izz." She answered.
"He's sick but I don't know why." Leah told her.
"I do. Your friend Kendra gave him Non Belief Sickness. When a mortal doesn't believe in magic or magical beings, they give them that sickness.
But he'll be okay in Aria but he's been moody lately." Elisa explained to her.
She understood.
Skye put Izz in a contained bed which was sealed from the other beds in the royal infirmary.
"Will he be okay?" Carley asked her worriedly.
"He'll be fine but tired from what's going on inside him. Don't you know? He's going to bring a child into the world. You and him will be parents." she answered.
Carley was confused by this. "Don't female Psammeads give birth?" she asked her. The good hearted witch smiled at her.
"No. There are no females left so it's being born and brought into the world by the both of you.
Your love helped it but now you must help.
Baby Psammeads can be made but only through female love so males bond with a human one that they care about.
The way for babies to enter the world is by leading them with your belief." Skye explained to her.
Carley understood.
She noticed that Izz's stomach was huger than normal.
She then laid a hand on him. She closed her eyes. Skye watched as her aura revealed herself. She then heard the sounds of crying as an infant appeared.
It looked like Izz but had her eyes. "What're you going to name him?" Skye asked her.
"I'll have to check with Izz, okay?" Carley replied smiling.
Skye watched as she left for Leah's house. The witch held the Psammead infant in her arms...
