Chp 5 Pt. 2 Aspen’s Sorrow

Aspen

As soon as I arrive home I rush to my parents chambers. Several elves bow and pay their respects but I don’t pay them any mind. I know my mother is close to giving birth and I fear that whatever Maliyah saw, we could end up losing both my unborn sister and mother. I don’t bother to knock as I push open the door to their room and look out their window to ensure no one is creeping up on the castle.

“Aspen, what is wrong,” asks my mother.

“How has everything been here? Any threats? Attacks?”

“No, everything has been calm son. What is going on,” asks my father.

“I reached Maliyah…”

“That is wonderful son. Did she wake up,” asks my mother, interrupting me.

“No, she shoved me out of her mind.”

“That’s odd. Why did she do that?”

“She had a vision dad. She saw mom die.”

The room goes silent. The look on father’s face is fear. Fear for losing his queen, my mother. Maliyah has never been wrong and we both know it. Those who had visions in the past were always right. This is happening. Eve
