The Master Wizard And the Civilian

Once again:- Don't own, never will.

Chapter 4:- Relationship Problems...

"In short?" Glenn leaned forwards. "You are pregnant Merleawe"

Merleawe's eyes went wide. "Wh..Wh...What did...Did you say?" Sylthfarn was also cobsmacked. He had...He had...

"You knocked her up? Sweet!"

Sylthfarn looked like a dear caught in the headlights. He knew that voice all to well...And the person who said it was snickering away to himself.

Glenn smiled and stood up. "Mornin' Fern" Merleawe gulped as she turned around. Sylthfarn turned around as well. They both had their hands held together.

Fern looked them both up and down. "My god..." Both Sylthfarn and Merleawe looked at him. "What?" They both said...At the same time...With the same level of voice.

"You two...You both look completely and utterly wrecked!" Fern began to laugh as did Vaith. "Well...We, did, go all the way you know!" Merleawe shouted...But then clamped her mouth shut with her mouth. Sylthfarn looked at her with a fake sight of shock. "Oh Well done..." He whispered as he held onto her hand, even though she was starting to retreat behind him.

Sylthfarn sighed. "So you both DID go all the way!" Vaith began to laugh uncontrollably and fell onto the floor holding his stomach. Fern was...A little bit more restrained then that. He stood there and stopped laughing loudly until it was a snicker.

"Looks like we'd better sort out a particular room in the Castle, don't you think?"

Sylthfarn's eyes went wide again. Stood in the doorway...Looking like she was having the time of her life...Was Princess Seraphia. She was smirking at Merleawe. "H-H-Hang on a second!" Sylthfarn stuttered. "Th-Th-There's no evidence! Maybe you all got it w-w-wrong! Its far to soon!"

Out of no-where Yue appeared. He had supposedly been leaning against a part of the wall which was dark. "Use your head Sylthfarn. Close your eyes and detect her magical energy. Tell me what you feel!"

Besides being scared the shit out of by Yue...AGAIN...Sylthfarn closed his eyes and began to reach, magically, into his new lover's magical power. He saw what they could see...Besides the obvious need for being sick which would most likely happen soon...There was indeed a small energy level inside of her.

"He's right...Shit!" Sylthfarn hit the floor with his foot. "I knew that feeling was far too good! Damnit!" He stormed out of the room with his face in his hands. "What the hell am I supposed to do now!?"

Merlewae put her head in her hands. "Oh god no...I don't know the first thing about being a mother!" She shouted as Glenn smiled warmly and walked over to her, and put a hand on her shoulder. "Mel" She looked up at him, she wasn't just scared...She was frightened out of her mind. "Glenn...I...I...I don't...I can't..."

"You can't be a mother because you feel you are too young to be one?" Princess Seraphia asked as she walked over to her. "Yes, that's it! I can't...I don't know what to do..."

[With Sylthfarn]

Sylthfarn walked through the halls of the castle. His head was still in his hands. "God-damn it Merlin...If you hadn't reserected me...I'd still be in the spirit world..." He sighed and came to a stop when he saw someone standing in front of him. "Hello again Mel! I must say you are doing well for yourself!"

Sylthfarn knew this voice. He couldn't quite place it...But it was there. It reminded him... "My name is not Mel..." Her heard a gasp so he rose his head in a flash. It was who he thought it was...His Mother. "S..S..Sylthfarn?" She whispered while Sylthfarn just remained frozen. All he could do was breath.

His mother was in front of him. For all those years in the spiritual world...He had never, once, thought that she'd recognise him. Maybe he should have actually gone to see her instead of being frightened to death.
"Sylthfarn!" She shouted as she threw her arms around her son. Sylthfarn started to cry. He had never felt her arms around him in a very long time. He slowly put his arms around his mother. "I.." He whispered while she began to rub his back.

"You don't know how long I've missed you!" He heard his mother shout again. She stopped hugging him when she felt his tears, she broke away from him. "Sylthfarn? What's wrong?" She was very worried as Sylthfarn's tears began to fall rapidly. "M...M...Mother...I..." He almost lowered himself to his knees when his mother caught him in her arms. "Sylth...Hey..." She began to rub his back again. "Shhh...Its okay..." She whispered while Sylthfarn began to cry louder and louder.

[Back with Merleawe and the others]

Merleawe slowly nodded her head as she took another sip of her tea. "I 'suppose you're right. What am I going to do about helping Sylthfarn though? I can't exactly be optimistic and happy when he is feeling down...Can I?"

The King of Viegald had entered the room, and sat down next to Merleawe and the others. "Yes you can. You see, when you commit the act that you both did, you have almost like a sixth sense...With that person. You can pretty much feel whether they are happy or not. You often can tell thier thoughts as well. Not telepathy or anything like that...Its more advanced six-sense, early telepathy"

Fern nodded. "That's right! I knew when Seraphia had that nightmare last night!" Princess Seraphia went bright red. "How? I didn't tell you!" She tried defending herself.

Fern shook his head. "Nope. You were screaming. You woke me up!" Seraphia looked at him with a look of shock. "I never!" Fern smirked. "You did!"

Merleawe felt herself rather amused by the pair.

[Sylthfarn and his mother]

"Sylth...Come on...Tell me what's the matter..." She looked at him when he looked up at her. She could see the pain in his eyes. "Mother...I...I..." She waited for over 2 minutes while Sylthfarn was trying to get his words in order. He took a deep breath. "I somehow managed to make Merleawe...Well, from the looks of it I'll be a..a..father in about...9 months time" His mother's eyes widened, then they softened as she saw his confusion and sheer fright in his eyes.

"Its not something to be ashamed of Sylthfarn"

Sylthfarn's eyes widened. He was completely and totally confused now. "W-W-W...I never...I didn't..." His mother smiled at him. "What's happened has happened. All we can do now is to work with the situation as it stands. How is she?" Sylthfarn lowered his head. "She's okay..." His mother nodded. "There you go. Who was it?" Sylthfarn froze. "Sylth?" He began to step backwards away from her. "What's wrong? Who was it?"

Sylthfarn gulped. "M...M...Mel..." His mother was shocked but kept her smile. "You...Made Merleawe pregnant?" He nodded his head slowly. "Hmmm...That's a situation and a half..." He looked to her again. "What am I going to do? As soon as the Kingdom knows this, I'll be stuck in the castle! I won't be able to go ANYWHERE!"

His mother thought for several minutes. "There's only one thing I can think of right now..." Sylthfarn could use ANY escape route right now. He looked at his mother as she opened the doors of the castle. "Get out of here. We will let the Kingdom know precisely not to both you" She winked at him. "Trust me"

Sylthfarn slowly nodded his head. "Alright..." He began to walk towards the door. "I'll be back...When?"

"When Fern comes to get you" Sylthfarn nodded again and raced out of the castle.

Fern walked up to Sylthfarn's mother. "Where's Sylth running off to?" Sylthfarn's mother turned to Fern. "He's going out for some fresh air. I'm sure he'll be back soon" She smiled as Fern frowned. "Damnit Sylth...Merleawe needed to talk to you about the child's name when its born...Fuck's sake" He grumbled.

Thing was, Sylthfarn was headed to the fields of Viegald. He wanted a place quiet and remote. Away from the castle, etc. It was not expected that he would go THAT far out to clear his head...But he needed to. Yesterday into Today were nothing short of...Fast yet intense.

He eventually arrived in the fields near Merleawe's family home, he didn't know who they were but they gave him food and drink and let him stay for awhile. After all, seeing him after so long...They were rather happy to see him.

Sylthfarn laid down on the bed in what he guessed was the geast-room. "My back hurts..." He moaned as he waited until his body was relaxed. As Sylthfarn closed his eyes he heard the voices from the hallway.

"I wonder when Merleawe's coming back for a visit?"

Sylthfarn froze on the bed. If Merleawe came to the family home and told them...He would (most likely) get a very bad beating by her older brother.

"Dunno, I'm just glad we can help our Master Wizard"

Sylthfarn relaxed. 'I guess my name still means something'

"Isn't he the, former, Master Wizard?"

He nodded. 'Yep. I am formerly the best sourcerer in the land...So I guess its former'

"I'd say so but...Hes more like Merleawe's tutor or mentor now"

Sylthfarn froze again. 'God-damn it...Why can't they just shut up about Merleawe? I kinda need some breathing space you know!'

"Still an impressive title to have"

Sylthfarn smiled. 'I know...That's what I thought originally to...'

"Yeah I know"

Sylthfarn slowly fell to complete sleep. 'Just please don't tell them yet Merleawe...Please for God's sake don't...' He thought quietly as sleep took full control over him.

Explaining his and Merleawe's actions...Was going to be hell...Sylthfarn could already picture it now...

Chapter 4 complete. Chapter 5 on its way soon!
