Chapter 720: BLACK RAIN AND DARK SKY (62)
"Luna Iris, I am glad to see you are fine! Are you hurt somewhere?" Eron asked Iris, he sighed deeply in relief when he saw her.
"I am fine, Eron. I am glad you are fine too," Iris said. She was more than grateful when she didn’t feel any repercussion after using her power to break the black magic that controlled the monster. She was afraid her babies would take the brunt, that’s why she didn’t make a fuss when Cane told her to take some rest.
Right now, Cane was with Koda and the Serafim, he took the frontline, just in case the protection was broken and the monsters managed to infiltrate this place before the portals were closed.
Apparently, they couldn’t bother the magic users and when one of the magic users stepped out of their formation, all of their efforts would go to the drain.
"We have been looking for you, luna," Dyne chimed in. "But, we believe the alpha will protect you! We are right!"
Lou cleared his throat unhappily. "Excused me, I was with them. Do you think I don’t have any contribution?"
"What a merchant can do to fight against a monster?" Eron narrowed his eyes and Lou was speechless. He couldn’t tell them his contribution and Ethan guffawed within.
However, the topic didn’t last long because their attention was distracted by the transparent shield filled with magic, one wouldn’t be able to realize it if they didn’t pay close attention.
"What is happening here?" Eron and Dyne were flabbergasted to see the shield canopied a large area of the shelter. "Everything is fine here?"
"Yes, the Serafim told the magic users to protect this place, as they are going to close the portals," Ethan explained briefly. He glanced at Lou, who came with them. What he was doing here? He didn’t remember the merchant was being invited to join them, but he plastered next to Iris.
"Ah, but we need to go!" Eron said abruptly, remembered the urgency of the task that was given to them. "We need to get Grace!"
"What happened? You should be with the children, right?" Ethan narrowed his eyes at the two of them and a bad feeling crept in.
Dyne and Eron didn’t have any idea about the detail of reason why Aliana told them to get Grace, but they were sure, this was not something good.
"So sad, you can’t leave the area," Lou said.
"Why?" Eron shifted his attention at the merchant.
Lou clicked his tongue and nodded at the shield. "The protection spell has been activated. People from inside can’t go out, it works the other way around. You will mess with the protection if you insisted to go out. I don’t think that woman over there will be happy." Lou nodded at the Serafim. He was bothered by the fact she looked like Iris, especially with their eyes, though the color of their hair was not in the same exact shade.
"Let me see her, where is she?" Iris urged them hastily.
Only then they remembered, their luna was a healer too!
"Right, right! This way, luna! Careful with your steps!" Eron and Dyne immediately escorted Iris to where Della was, they practically shoved Lou to the side.
"Hey! She needs to rest!" Lou protested, but he followed them too, while grumbling, while Ethan fetched the hot water that he had to bring.
Aliana sighed in relief when she saw Iris was fine, but currently there was another urgent matter at hand, thus after checking on the luna and was convinced she was fine, they put their focus on Della.
"The baby doesn’t want to come out." Aliana furrowed her brows. "My best guest the baby is in breech position."
Ethan and Eron helped Iris to sit down, after they placed their cloak to cover the ground. Their luna was heavily pregnant too.
"Yes, the baby is in breech position," Iris said, because she could see the baby’s wolf spirit. The baby was getting weak, so did Della. "How long it has been like this?"
"Three hours more or less," Aderan replied, he couldn’t think clearly, especially when Della lost her strength to even cry in pain.
Iris stretched out her hand and held Della. "I can keep her strong enough to deliver the baby, but if the baby is in breech position, I don’t know what to do. And if the baby is not coming out soon, the baby will be in danger." The baby would die in Della’s womb.
Iris could keep Della awake and strong enough to push the baby, but the problem was with the baby’s position. They really needed Grace and her knowledge about this kind of situation.
"Can’t you just turn the baby around?" Lou asked lightly, he was interested to see a woman gave birth. He had never seen this kind of thing before. Well, this situation would keep him from getting bored. It was better than sitting alone and doing nothing.
"It’s not that simple," Aliana said. When they were in the slavery, there were two cases like this and both resulted of the death of the mother and their baby, because there was nothing they could do without a healer.
Meanwhile, Iris kept Della awake, while trying to numb her pain so she wouldn’t suffer so much, as she stared at the little wolf spirit that seemed to struggle, the little one seemed to be choked and was in pain.
Out of instinct, Iris stretched out her hand. She didn’t know what came to her, but her body seemed to remember something, this feeling like she had been in this kind of situation before. Probably, this was not her memory, but the memory from the first Serafim, as she was a great healer. At some point, Na must have come across situation like this.
That was why, with her life essence was inside Iris, so did her memories, her body and her power seemed to remember what to do.
Iris placed her hand on top of Della’s stomach and touched the wolf spirit. Warm light covered her palm and the same light seeped into Della’s stomach, spread to her whole body.
Eron, Dyne and Aderan, who discussed about what they needed to do immediately shut their mouth when they witnessed this. All the pack member of the Golden Light pack turned their head to see what light was that, since it shone brighter and brighter, until the people from the front noticed this light.
Abby turned around to see what was happening and her heart almost dropped when the air spirit that she summoned disappeared from her side and appeared behind Iris, yet the luna didn’t seem to notice this, since her focus was on Della and her baby.
Aliana and all the people around Iris gasped to see this air spirit was standing behind their luna, bending her body and kissed her head.
Aliana and some of the people had seen the Sylphs before and some of them knew about this air spirit, but the Sylphs was supposed to be with the Serafim.
"What the hell is happening...?" Lou was dumbfounded just like the other people. He had learned and witnessed a lot of shocking things today and he didn’t think his mind could handle to receive more. "What is she?"
They held their breath, the sight of it was breathtaking, as if the luna was surrounded by warm lights, as if the sun finally shone again. This light was not blinding, but you could feel the warm of it, especially in this winter and somehow, it reduced their agitation and fear because of their current predicament. It gave them hope and comfort.
"Luna... it’s..." Eron wanted to tell her about what they were witnessing, but he didn’t know what to say. He could only point his finger at the Sylphs, which took form of a beautiful woman, like fairy.
"Aliana, the baby!" Iris suddenly spoke, which startled all of them. "Check the baby!"
"Oh... oh, right..." Aliana stammered and tried to refocus on the matter at hand, while Della whimpered, she felt less pain, but she was very tired. She wanted this to end quickly and fall asleep. "You can push now, Della! I can see the head!"
There was this small uproar when Aliana said that and people became more and more interested with the whole process of this, but their main focus was still on the Sylphs behind the luna, who bent her body and kissed Iris head from behind.
"Push, Della, push! I can see the baby!" Aliana gave her the courage, while Ethan forced Lou and the other men to turn their body around, shielded the sight from other people to stare at, while Aderan held Della’s other hand and encouraged his mate.
A moment later, the cry of the baby filled the air. The baby cried so hard, as if to announce her existence to the world.
"It’s a girl! It’s a baby girl!" Aliana said, her voice was shaking she felt this mixed feeling when she held this newborn baby that was still bleeding, tears rolled down her eyes, as a few memories flashes in her mind. She always caught up with this feeling, whenever she saw a newborn baby.
The baby was crying. Aliana was very grateful the baby was crying, because hers was not.
But at the same time, they could hear like a loud voice like thunder and vicious growls echoed, while the ground was shaking.
The monsters were here!
Now it was a testament for the protection the magic users put around them.
