Another contraction ripped through her, and with it the growing sense of urgency. Through the pain she managed a nod. "Yes, I can make it..." She assured the man, although she was not sure of the truth within her own words. With their combined assistance and leaning mainly on Cerne for support, she made it further into the vale. The contractions grew more intense and closer together. Only when she felt the liquid warmth between her legs, did she nearly panic.
Quickly, she skimmed her surroundings, making short work in assessing them. There was little to choose from and she settled on her first and only half decent option. The deep recesses of a hollow carved beneath the gnarly roots of a tree. The Tundrian made a beeline for it, tucking herself inside.
Her labors continued on into the night. She struggled and accepted what help was given in the form of herbs to ease the process. The first born, a daughter, entered the world quietly. Almost too easily, given her tiny size. The strain of her journey from Moonglow must have affected her. Yet she breathed, for now. The next two, a boy and a girl, followed with greater force but without complications. They were robust and healthy. With her three children cleaned and nursing at her belly, Keyni lay, drained of the whole ordeal.
