Noctisardor Bypass expectorate the snakes and water down the whiskey

Unlike her dream—well, her nightmare—childbirth was not painless. It was agonizing, exhausting and went on for so long, Druid didn’t know if she was going to survive it. When her labor finally came to an end in the middle of the night, she collapsed in @Heda’s arms, depleted and insensate.

The sound of two songbirds arguing outside the den door woke her not long after daybreak. Her whole body ached, particularly her nethers, and she felt like someone had scooped out her insides. Groggy and groaning, Druid began to sit up before it all came back to her in a rush: she’d given birth!

The new mother dropped back to the den floor with a little gasp, mismatched eyes blinking away sleep’s fogginess to take her first look at her children.
