Henna's Suspicions

A few months pass and it is about time for Henna to give birth,

“Lyude , Lyude, I think the baby's coming “Henna ran to him

holding her stomach “The Baby’s coming!” she began to have

labor pains and he picked her up “Alright love I will call the

doctor, he placed her in bed and the other wives began prepping for

Henna to give birth, “my love I will be back” she nodded and

Lyude left “Henna you think it will be a girl?” she screams as

“He said that is what he wanted” she panted “Wee-woo heee-woo”

she was labor breathing as she began having contractions. “Henna

you know why he wants a daughter right?” she shook her head “No I

don't” she arched her body as labor contractions got closer “You

know he's selling her to the moon clan so that they can combine the

tribes “ she felt shocked but had to not show it because the other

wives were around “Anything for our chieftain” she sweated and

her voice was in pain. Her inner thoughts ran wild as she was feeling

her baby comes out closer. One of the wives talking “I hear that he

killed Serena the goddess of love which is why people are having a

lot of miscarriages .” henna was sweating and her skin was clammy

hearing them talk “I can’t focus” Henna replied trying to get

the other wives to be quiet. The doctor and Lyude came walking into

the room “Henna The doctor and his nurses are here let them take

care of you” he walked out with his other wives. They waited for a few

hours of endless screaming and pain until a small baby coo was heard

, outrushing from the room a nurse yelled “Its a Girl!” he

smirked “All is falling into place”

Henna held her new baby girl “I shall call you Nanami. Nanami my sweet dear child”

she held her close to her face moments after her birth a strange

making appeared on her face. She was small and her skin like caramel,

Nanami had Blue hair with blonde streaks, she had Goldeneyes and a

warm golden middle to her beastly eyes, Henna smiled and cried

“Thank you Serena for blessing me in love” just then Lyude walked

in “Henna you know I don't like that name spoken in my presence.

Let me see the child, what did you name her?” hands a little shaken

from exhaustion “Lyude I named her Nanami” when he grabbed her he

seen her white fashioned marking on her face “HA! This is utterly

perfect!” he held her for a mere moment seeing the marking and

knowing that Nanami was the next Goddess of their people. “Lyude

what are you laughing about? What is perfect? Nanami yes she is”

Henna smiled Lyude smiled and he handed Nanami back to Henna. “My

love don't you worry” he kissed her and then petted Nanamis’ head

and Nanami began crying and wailing. Henna began to get suspicious as

he left the room “Dear are you leaving so soon?” he nodded

waving out the door “I am going to invite Nanami’s future spouse

here” She walked out the door and began taking care of Nanami

“Don’t worry love I won't let anything happen to you “ she

rubbed Nanami’s face holding, caressing her, and loving on her.

Tears of joy ran down her cheeks as she coddled her new child.

Henna’s relationship with Lyude began to change and the wives began to mock

her for loving on her child knowing that she wouldn't have her past

the age of five. On a hot summers day, Lyude came in and demanded

Nanami from Henna. Henna reluctantly agreed but she wasn't going to

let Lyude do anything to her child so she disguised herself and wore

a hood slowly trailing him and Nanami. Off from a distance, she could

see him meet up with Garbari and a young boy about five “who is

that” she kept trailing them until she came to the sacred Oasis and

got frightened. “What are you doing?” just then before Henna

Serena appeared “Hello child who has believed in love so fiercely”

she touched her face letting her see who she was. She bowed “Serena!

The goddess of love!” she cried seeing what her husband had done to

her and looked up “Why are you here” she spoke with a ghostly

voice “Listen your daughter is the future Goddess of love protect

her” Serena and Henna managed to sneak into the Oasis Hiyoku “This

is where he killed me, I am about to disappear soon” she looked to

her “They are about to soul bind the two together the to combine

the clans” she held Hennas face “I am going to bond myself to the

boy so that Nanami can live a free life but once it is found out you

mustn't let her stay” Henna looked to her “Why” she didn't

understand all the thing confusing her and making her head hurt her

was talking to a goddess and she didn't know what to do, her husband

is a villain. “Serena Tell me what to do?” she nodded “Listen,

In the snow lands of Seoulen Visit, the Family of Sylisi give her to

them and tell them “” Greetings I have a gift for you from your

old friend Serena this is the new beginning”” they will know

what to do, please let Nanami know you love her and who she is before

you leave you won't be able to see her again after you leave” Henna

nods and returns home in a scurry to pack sneakily before he can

catch her leave. Lyude returns with Nanami “Henna” he hands her

Nanami “My love you just saved the kingdom with our child” he had

his hands behind his back and kisses her and pets Nanami who happened

to be sleeping upon return her markings that where there when she was

born for mere moments darkened as if a tattoo and a center gem was on

her head. “Dear, what is this on Nanami? What happened to her face?”

her voice shaken and trying not to cry “Oh dear our daughter is a

Goddess, and now she has been soul bonded with her husband, do not

worry love, It's for the better for her” he left the room.

Henna acted like

she was asleep and left her home early hours in the morning with

Nanami, “Sorry my sweet child, sorry your mother will not be there

for you”, she cried riding fast in the early morning riding into Seoulen

to where Serena had told her. It took many days to get there and

finally, she made it there. Knocking on the door “Hello” a woman

with pointed ears answered the door with a beefy man “Dear who is

this” Henna was shaken and crying “I have a message for you,

Greeting I have a gift for you from your old friend Serena..” they

interrupted her after looking at each other. There were many children

there a lot of boys of many ages and they sat her in the living room “I

can't stay long please let me finish” her voice was cracking.

“Serena this is the new Beginning” she handed her to the woman

“But she is my daughter and I love her with all my heart” she

wipes tears from her face “Please tell her I love her and I wrote

her this note” she handed a tear-drenched parchment. “I was told

I would never see her again” she kisses Nanami on the forehead “May

I know your names?” The woman and man looked at each other with

tears too “Thank you for bringing her back to us” they held hands

all three of them. “I am John,” the man said first followed by the

Eleven women “I am Melly” Henna knew she would never see Nanami

again “I can't stay long before he catches me” she left the house

crying in tears as she reached the borders of Arun men where there

waiting to arrest her.

After reaching the guards took her back home. There stood Lyude and Gabari with his son.

“Henna what have you done...” she looked to the ground “Lyude

Serena came to me I did what she told me to” he went up to her and

slapped her across the face “For this I will have to sentence you

to death” he had a look of despair and hate on his face. “Lyude

what did she say you said she was okay with everything..Kal leave the

room and go to your mother” His son bowed “Yes father” he left

the room. The men began to argue “She did...” Garbari was not

happy with him but placed his shoulders on Henna “You took my sons

Wife and made your spouse break a contract for your child, I pity

you.” he left the room. Henna began to cry. In the next morning

both clans had gathered in Arun. It was a somber morning “Listen

This woman has taken a child from her spouse and has become a traitor

to both Clans of the kingdom, And here she has been sentenced to

death by The sun clan Chieftain Lyude...” the Warriors of Arun shot

their arrows at Henna and the Clan cried. Lyude stood there watching

gritting his teeth “Serena you took my only love from me..”He

became bitter and angry and began to rule his kingdom with an iron

fist.
