lifeblood [birthing]

*Sendoa* · 01-09-2014, 11:21 AM

It was agony, pure agony. The fear had only served to tighten her muscles which, she could deduce, would only further her problem. Did anyone else have these troubles when birthing children? Isardis would quickly repeat her words to Eris, as if she hadn't heard the queen speaking them the first time. Ah well, there was no time or strength to scoff - she knew he was just as afraid as she. Sendoa took everything that Eris gave her without a second thought, she trusted the woman - she had no other choice. Eris seemed to know what the problem was, and sons he was explaining it to the agonized Queen. The pup was breached. Her heart nearly stopped, but somehow managed to keep going - there was no solution to this other than to keep rallying against the pain and hope the child moved enough to pass through her birth canal. Relax, she had to relax. Eyes shifted to Isardis as she gritted her teeth and tried to relax her hind quarters first. Eris gave her more herbs to eat, those that would hopefully relax her muscles. Sendoa writhed as contraction after contraction shook her, sending her muscles into spasms and her mind reeling. The pressure built up and she was sure she could push no harder.

And then the first was born.

?Oh Isardis,? she would breathe, barely a whisper. Her head raised, neck arched to see the child - the firstborn of a perfect lineage. The brave, beautiful, magnificent. Emerald eyes would fall upon a sac, and instinct would chide at her. Her child was suffocating. Immediately she would shift, leaning toward him in efforts to nip away the casing around his glorious frame. When it was gone she would lick him vigorously, once.. twice.. three times until he yipped - his toothless jaws opening and drawing in his very first breath of Glaciem air. She meant to snatch him up toward her bosom when a second wave of pain hit her - sending her head careening toward the floor once more. ?There's another,? she growled through gritted teeth. Breaths came quicker, her heart beat hard in her chest - building up to the moment where the second would slip from her womb and into open air. There was no strength left, only just enough to breathe two single words of pleading. ?Eris, please..? She knew not if there was another, perhaps even more. Though her heart ached to aid the two that she had, her body ached far worse and prevented her from doing so. Helpless to the entire world, the Queen of Glaciem would finally rest.
