There Can Be Miracles

Dalila trotted around the perimeter of the island with one of her dogs trailing behind her, following the path that had become so familiar in the weeks that she had spent as Fenmyre's leader. At first she had been incredibly unsure and uncertain if she was even up for the task, but now she felt more comfortable in the role and the weight of it didn't feel quite as daunting as it first had. She knew it was only armor and that having companions with her couldn't make or break a fight in the grand scheme of things, but she did attribute a good amount of confidence she had built to these gifts that Chimera had given her. She felt more like the warrior she had been trained to be once upon a time and it helped her at least feel like she could play the part a bit better.

However, when Aliana called out for them she immediately stopped and abandoned her patrol, tearing toward the structure they shared to make her way to the chamber the clouded woman shared with Chimera. There wasn't a single thing that could keep her from being there for her friend and lover through this the same way she had been there for her during Rusalka's birth. Ali's presence that day had meant the world to her and Dalila would do the same for her. She skidded and slowed as she reached the door to their room, panting lightly from the mad sprint across the island to get here.

She threw off her armor, passing it off to her companion to take back to her and Siren's chambers, before coming over to join the group while giving Ali an encouraging grin. The more days that passed after Ali's second pregnancy had come to light had made Dalila more and more confident in the hope that this could be a successful birth. She had given Ali a few check ups herself and the movement and strength she felt from these pups encouraged her even more. Now the only worry came from the fact that Ali was such a small woman and there were many, many large pups for her to birth. Dalila quickly gave Aliana a light kiss on her cheek and then took her place behind Ali with the birthing cloths at the ready, prepared to welcome the first of the children into the world.
