Dreams Made Flesh

Surreal

Surreal lay panting in a comfortably sized den, well above the waterline of the area. The cramps had started over an hour ago, long enough for her to call out for her mother and Falk, and Imena and Cael if they wished. Now she labored, her mother having given her the plants needed to ease this miraculous process of bringing life into the world. Cramps rippled along her belly and down into the point where life should be appearing. It felt like she was trying to expel a very large rock from her insides.

She lowered her head with a groan, eyes closed as another contraction rippled through her muscles. And there she felt a give. ?Mother, Falk? I think? Ooo? I think this is it.? Another contraction squeezed through her muscles, her back cramping slightly, causing the groan in her words. The herbs her mother had given her had taken effect quickly, and there was less pain, she was sure, then there might have been if she hadn?t consumed them. She rose slightly, shifted to a more comfortable position, and heard a slimy splash behind her.

A soft gasp left her as a new contraction powered through, stronger than the others, quickly followed by another, and another. She gritted her teeth as the pressure grew; as the firstborn began moving outward. All was well. All was well. And then it wasn?t, all the sudden. The contractions were coming, hard and strong as ever, ripping gasps from her, but the pressure kept building, without release, and she felt a sudden lack of movement. ?Mother?? It wasn?t a loud call, mostly because a contraction stole her breath away. But the concern was evident to any and all parties present.
