Fenclade Dominion
The return to the Erengard Empire is delayed by two days because of Vivianne's worsening morning sickness. The Fenclade royal physician insisted she rest completely, forbidding travel until her body could recover.
During that time, Undine refused to leave her side, gently bathing her in streams of healing energy that shimmered faintly around her body like mist. Tempest, always sensitive to Vivianne's comfort, filled the air with her favorite scents: rose, lavender, and a trace of pine that lingered like the air after rain.
"The baby is exceptional," said the owl physician, her large dark purple eyes blinking slowly as she finished her examination.
Roxanne, sitting beside the bed, raised an eyebrow. "How so?"
The doctor placed her feathered hand lightly over the small curve of Vivianne's stomach. "I can feel their energy. Even though they are still forming, their presence is strong. This child will not be ordinary."
