“Do you think she’ll be ok?” Maxen

“I hope she’s ok I have to tell her thank you. She did after all save

my life.” Syi

“It’s hard to say for sure. To be really honest she is even lucky to still

be alive.” Captain

“What does that mean?” Rexen

“Normally if someone is bitten by one of Asriel’s servants; either they die

on spot or becomes one of them themselves.” Captain

“There have even been a few that have fallen into a death sleep from these

creatures.” Ari adds

“In all actuality they die no matter what if their bitten.” Maxen says

as he glances over to the tent that was set up for Spanx.

“So are you saying all we can do is wait to see if she to turns or dies?”

Syi

“In a way yes, but in another it depends on her.” Captain

“You should all be getting some rest. We still have a long way ahead of

us.” Ari says

“Shouldn’t someone keep watch?” Zora

“I agree there was already one of those ugly creatures.” Luna

“I will stand watch all of you need to go get rest.” Ari

Ari goes to a spot that he finds is good to keep watch. Soon everything

is quiet.

“Wait…”Spanx

Hearing the voice, he walks over to check on Spanx.

“She seems to be communicating with someone.” Captain

“I didn’t realize you were already here. What do you mean she’s

communicating with someone, is she dreaming?” Ari

“We say she’s dreaming, but to her what’s happening is real. It seems

to me that this is her unique reaction to the venom of the bite.”

Captain

“How is the bite doing?” Ari

“I was just about to change the bandage, hand me the clean cloth from

over there.” Captain

Captain undresses the wound.

“That’s really strange.”

“What’s wrong?” Ari

“The wound has already healed, only this strange scare remains.” Captain

“Is it me or does the scar look like a serpent?” Ari

“It’s only been a few hours; it makes no sense that it’s healed already.

A simple scratch from one of those creatures usually takes weeks.”

Captain

“What do you suppose we do?” Ari

“At first light we will head out, we will push through without stopping.”

A young woman runs through a long hallway. The only light is that of

the moon shining through the opened windows.

“Wait… Where are, you going?”

Spanx instinctively follows the lady. Going to a beautiful garden filled

with all types of flowers. Soon a young man shows up.

“You made it.” The woman smiles happily.

“I will always show up for you.” The man takes her hand.

The two of them share a sweet kiss.

“I have great news for you my love.” The woman says as she lovingly

looks up at him.

“What is it?” he smiles

“I am with child.”

“You mean it; we have finally been blessed after so many attempts?”

“Yes my love we will soon be able to hold our child in our arms.”

The two of them kiss once more, and then the scenery starts to change.

The same woman as before is now running through a wooded area. She

has a misstep and falls to the ground.

“Are you alright?” Spanx calls out but she’s unheard

Struggling the woman moves to a sitting position with the support of a tree.

“It’s been to long since our last time with each other.” A cloaked man

seems to appear out of the air.

“I need your help.” She says

“You left me to become a guard, and then you marry another man. Now you

come to me because you need help. Cloaked man

“Please you are the only one that can help me. I’m sorry for the past… I

will never be sorry for falling in love.”

“I will be on my way then.”

“Please…the help I ask for is not for me; I ask for my unborn child. I’ll

lose it if you do not help me.”

The man stops.

“You are with child?” the man turns towards her.

“Yes; I am with child. Are you going to help?” she looks up pleadingly.

“Do you know what you are asking of me?”

“Yes, and I have accepted what my punishment will be upon death for doing

this as well. I just… I…can’t bear to lose my child. Will you

save my child please?” She says bowing her head.

“You also know that part of the consequence will be that the child shares

traits of mine.”

“I understand.” She slowly raises her head.

The man helps her to her feet; he places his hand on her stomach. His

eyes widen for a moment. As a slow glow builds from the palm of his

hand he looks at the woman their eyes don’t separate.

“Within this Woman is a wilting life; reverse the effects on this vesicle. I

give the power of life to thee.”
