King Elk Forest There was this girl, the most beautiful in the world

Though she was slow to arrive, Vex had every bit as much anger as he assumed she'd have — that much wasn't a surprise. Her size, however, was. Vivaan had forgotten just how long he'd been away, as the to-be mother had grown in size.

He remained seated, eyes upon her belly for a few, long moments as he relished the fact those were his children in her womb. 

Eventually he'd have to return to reality, and so, he did.

While you were here bitching about how much this place was yours and boasting about how much power you hold over everyone else, I decided to do something more proactive. I went on a scouting spree.. up through the mountains and some through the coast... Vivaan stopped himself from continuing the report of his findings. He was no slave to her, thus owing her no information unless she sought it in a calmer manner.

I'm not some pathetic ingrate that you can order around all the time. His eyes lowered to her belly. Their future is because of me. Your survival after your siblings betrayed us is because of me. I've been with you this whole time, yet it's all about you and whatever the hell it is you want to achieve.

Perhaps it was an ignorant, foolish move, but he turned his back to her then, holding in rage of his own. Sometimes I feel as if you take other's betrayal out on me. I've been your punching bag and messenger... nothing more.

Finally, he provided a bit of silence; room for her to speak.. if she even had anything worth her breath to say.
