Chapter Four
Jim didn't know what to feel. A week ago, Miriam was feeling ill in the mornings. After the fourth dawn of her throwing up, he took her to see a medicine woman. When the woman came out, she proudly said that his wife is with child. Jim stared at her, her words sinking in. Then a smile crept across his face. He was going to be a father! Then his smile faded. He was going to be a father. He didn't know anything about being a father, let alone about babies and raising them. He was feeling both excited and worried. Excited about having his own family; worried that he wouldn't be the best father.
He didn't notice that Miriam joined him until he felt arms around him and a warm body pressed against his back. "You really must be in thought for me to sneak up in you." She muttered against his back. Jim laced his arms and hands with hers. "I was. Miriam… I'm happy you're with child… But I'm also worried…" "About what?" "What if… What if I'm not a good father?" Miriam smiled and turned him around. "Jim, you'll be a great father. There's no need to worry. Now let's get home and tell Mother about her grandchild." Jim smiled and kissed her lips softly.
Sarah clenched her fingers, drawing blood from her palms. Jim's wife, Miriam, is pregnant. Having seen them in her magic water, Sarah angrily swatted the image away. The couple was a few weeks away from the castle; she acted now, she can be done with them in a few hours. Drawing her breath, Sarah concentrated on her body. Swirling mist surrounded her and with seconds, she was in her goddess form. But as she started to move, she felt pain her chest and she crumpled on the ground, back in her human form.
The door banged open as Tzipporah rushed to her side. "Eris! Are you alright?!" Sarah bared her teeth. "No! That damn boy's wife is with child! And it's becoming more fucking difficult to transform!" "It is to be expected. The unborn child is drawing powers from you, making you weaker." "Tzipporah, go find them now and kill them!" Tzipporah shook her head. "I cannot. Even though I still have my powers, Jim is stronger than I; I will not face him." "Then what use are you to me!" Sarah snarled. "I'm plenty useful to you. All you have to do to is wait a few days; help will present itself." "What help?" Tzipporah gave her a small smile. "In due time, my Queen, in due time."
Taran was staring at the dying fire; he and Kayley were a few days away from Êyrt Haëka. Turning his head towards the starry night, Taran saw a shooting star fly across the night sky. Please, bring back my sister.
A soft voice was flowing on the evening breeze, sweet and low. Taran stood up and followed the bodiless voice to a pond that was basked in moonlight. The pool of light shimmered, revealing a cloaked figure. "Hello Taran, we meet again." Taran kneeled before figure. "Angel." "Taran, I need you to plant the idea of alliance in the princess' head." "An alliance? With whom?" "With the Goddess Queen." Taran gasped. "With the Goddess Queen? But why?" The angel laughed. "You dare question my orders?" The angel waved their hand and Taran's vision blurred for a moment before they focused on a flowered meadow. His ears heard a sweet voice he hadn't heard in a long time. Looking around, he saw a girl with long blonde hair sitting on a hill. She was making a flower crown when she lifted her head at a younger version of Taran, running to her. "Eilonwy!" Taran yelled and launched himself at his sister. Eilonwy laughed. "Taran! You little rascal! What have you been up to?" "Fishing! Father and I got a BIG one!" Taran spread his arms wide, showing how big the fish was. Eilonwy laughed. "Oh my, Taran. That is a big fish. And as a reward, I name you Prince Taran!" She placed the flower crown on Taran's head; he beamed at her. "Thank you Eilonwy!" And the siblings hugged each other.
A tear shed slid down Taran's face as he watched the scene before him unfold. "Don't you want her back?" Taran turned his head to the cloaked angel. The angel looked at him; its violet eyes the only feature showing. "Don't you want your big sister laughing with you again? Alive and well?" Taran turned back to scene, his sister all happy and smiling and full of life, before the hard times hit. Taran nodded. "I do want her back…" "Then you do as I say without question or your sister will forever be the dead whore." The angel snapped their fingers and the happy siblings disappeared, the scene going back to the moonlight pond. Taran look at the angel, but it was gone already. Turning his head to the night sky, another star flew across. Don't worry Eilonwy… Soon you'll be alive again and we'll have the good days back.
