Aisling's birth
Hidden deep inside the forest of Ireland rests the kingdom of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Though it looked like nothing more, than a lot of large, thick trees to humans, inside and underneath of them, there lived the forest spirits. The spirits had lived there for many centuries in peace and harmony, ruling the forest, skies and seas with a gentle hand. However on this night, a new air to the throne was to be born. For inside the bedroom of tree-like castle, Queen Eriu was in labor screaming in pain as her Husband King Lug held her hand Tightly. The healer was helping to deliver the child.
"It is almost here your majesty, just one more push should do it," Healer said.
"I…do not think…I can do it," Eriu breathed in pain from the labor.
"Do not say that beloved, you can do it. Just breath for a while," Lug encouraged/instructed his wife as she did what he told her.
After a small while, the healer shouted: "Now your majesty, Push! Push!" Eriu screamed in pure pain, as she pushed with all her might, until finally…the baby had been born.
As the sounds of little cries filed the room, Eriu's screams of pain faded away. She sighed softly and smiled. It was over. Her child had been born. King Lug looked at her happily, as the healer handed Eriu her newborn baby wrapped in a gold blanket. "It is a girl, your majesty." Eriu took the newborn baby girl from his hands, as the healer left to give them some much-deserved privacy.
"A girl," Eriu whispered happily, as she looked at the fruit of her labor. The baby stopped crying and began to sleep. "She is beautiful, just like I dreamed she would be," Eriu said, as a single tear of happiness fell from her left eye.
"Of course, she is your child," Lug joked happily.
Eriu just rolled her eyes, and continued to look at her daughter. She had the natural white hair and white skin of a Tuatha Dé Danann, but she could also see that her daughter had inherited her mother's nose and hair, and her father's cheeks. And when the child yawned she briefly fluttered her eyes for a bit, and Eriu could see that the baby had her beautiful light green eyes. She looked exactly as she had dreamed.
"So my dear Eriu, what should we call-"
"Aisling. Her name shall be Aisling."
Lug stopped abruptly and watched as Eriu stroked the cheek of her child. "Wow…that is…that is the perfect name my dear."
"Indeed," Eriu simply said happily, not taking her eyes of her child. Aisling began to open her eyes, and for the first time got a good look at her parents. She smiled and began to giggle. Eriu smiled back and said with much love in her voice: "Welcome my precious daughter… my dream…my little Aisling."
Well there's the first real chapter. Sorry if it was a bit too short and possibly too sappy. The rest of the story will be both longer and in Aisling's POV.
Oh and just so you know, this story came out before I had heard of the "Aisling's Origin" comic.
Anyway I hope you all enjoy this chapter. The next one will be out ASAP.
