[Ronan POV]
It didn't take long, to Get Assistance from That Woman. She jumped at the chance to help Eina. She insisted on coming along. We arrived At the Back alley shop, And the man inside greeted her warmly... before Noticing me.
"Lady Kayt! Welcome back! Oh! The BARD... What's HE doing here. Have you brought him to me as a present? I do love killing his kind!"
"No, Fool. He's a customer."
"I need something capable of killing a Demon."
"Demon you say? Color me intrigued, Fox. Demonsbane would work, but I assume you need something stronger? Mind explaining Why?"
"That's my business."
"Then no sale. I need to know my poisons wont be used for regicide or something. They DO contain my Mana, after all, easily traceable."
I had no choice... so I told him.
"I need it to kill something that may or may not be a demon, but definitely isnt Human, Beastkin or Otherwise."
"Alright... let's see what I've got... hmm. Perhaps a nice Wyrmkiller potion? Or maybe a..." I saw him shift his weight, and moved immediately. "SNEAK ATTACK!" his Dagger missed... I kicked upward, hitting his wrist, and causing him to slice himself, lightly.
"Shit!... you've killed me... damn... fox..." His skin turned orange... and started to steam.
"Oh Shit, Bard boy! RUN! That's Hellwasp Venom he had on that blade..."
"Which means the steam he's putting off..."
"Is a Deadly Neurotoxin. Let's get out of here!"
So we ran... we left the alley behind, And I noticed I was crying... I had Failed... That creature, whatever it is, had Eina... And I was Powerless... Whatever hold it had on Our Connection was broken, at least on my end, but... I now loved two women equally, and was helpless to save one of them. I bid farewell to Kayt, And headed home... If I couldn't Use poison, I'd wait until I saw a chance, and strike... but what I saw upon returning killed that plan...
Blanc was waiting for me in my room.
"Ronan. We need to talk. I know now what I am... And I know you Suspect me. When the gods faded, it affected me... And i realized the truth... you see, I Don't love Eina..."
What she said next, completely blew my mind...
"I AM Eina, or at least a part of her... and I HURT. Everytime I look at The girls it hurts... I feel nothing but pain, And when I do, Eina seems to forget more... And I Don't know what to do. Please, Ronan... Help Me!"
[Eina's Room, Blanc POV]
Nothing Worked. For months, I worked to recombine with my lady... but nothing worked... And now, After Reaching the point I thought about giving up... It was time. Eina And Ronans child was being born. I held her hand, as her unfocused eyes met mine... And An unfamiliar Cry rang out... I looked at the tiny half-Fox-kin, and smiled. Then felt an odd sensation, as everything blurred... and a voice inside my head spoke.
<Grrr! You get back inside Mama where you belong, Fragment! Obey the word of the Demigod of MUSIC! Rawr!>
As my consciousness and body faded, I felt myself being absorbed back into a massive energy source... And laughed... A demigod proves That Eina is a goddess... and I can fade away happy... but then I felt myself changing, then pushed away... I fell on my ass on the floor.
"Blanc, you dummy. Stay. But thank you for returning my Missing pieces. And thank YOU, little one... you saved me. My little Robin."
The girls ran into the room.
[Petra POV]
"Wow mama! He's beautiful!"
"He really is, and so tiny!"
I smiled because They were tiny too, not so long ago. Something was wrong with Mama Eina... but I could tell she's better now... and it was Robin who saved her... Unlike the others, I could See it. After I turned 18, my eyes shifted. I could see in the same Spectrum as the rest of my kind. Mana, but also divinity. The odd tether between Mama and Blanc was gone, Severed and Replaced by Robin's Power. The boy was radiant with energy, Similar to Ronans Energy, but much Stronger... Ronan told me once that he was A demigod, Half mortal and half god... like the gods, Demigods have something they have Authority over. For him, its Poetry and Storytelling. He sings, But has no Authority over the music... something tells me Robin Has that Authority. Even his Cries are Melodic. I would have to leave soon. My body was mature now, And in a few years, My body would begin full Dragonification... In preparation for Reproduction. But Now, I can go without Worry... Once Mama recovers and I can tell her... That I love her, and will definitely come back someday...
"Mama?"
"Yes, Petra..." she sounded weak..
"He really is Adorable... This new Baby Brother... And I'm glad you are Okay..."
I was answered by a soft Snoring sound... She was asleep... and so was Robin. As Ronan Ushered Hope and Faith out of the room, And The Midwife Took Robin from her arms, to put in the cradle... I leaned in, And kissed her cheek. "I love you, mama. Good night..."
