SS-Isabelle Winey: The Feelings of a Mother

From Isabelle Winey's point of view

I'm sitting against the thick trunk of a nearby tree, I looked up at the night sky the stars and the big full moon lit up the skies in a very beautiful way.

"The people of this continent... will have less than ten years before the war begins, and by the grace of the high ruler you will be exterminated." The spy's words were still hammering in my mind.

"The stars are beautiful." A soft voice sounded behind me pulling me back to reality, I turned around only to see Iris walking towards me, "Can I join you?"

"You don't have to ask." I smiled at my friend before turning back to face the stars once more, Iris sat down next to me.

"Concerned?" She asked.

"Is it that obvious?"

"I know you too well to know that that spy's words affected you, I don't blame you for that, unlike me you are a mother."

"I don't know if I could bear to lose Lance." I said frankly, "You know many people come to me saying how lucky and fortunate I am to have a son like Lancelot. Those who are not jealous of me are jealous of him, Lance is talented in magic, in fighting and has the recognition of all leaders of this continent. Some even say he might become one of the next leaders of this continent when he gets older." I let out a mockery. "While everyone sees him as a great prodigy a genius who appears every thousand years, I still see him as my baby, I still clearly remember the emotion I felt when I first held him in my arms, the first time he Mom said." Like Pri, it was comfortable to talk to Iris, because we weren't just friends, since the war we became each other's family, after all it was all we had left, I knew she only wanted what was best for me and my family .

"Isa..."

I placed my right hand on my belly, "when I became pregnant with Lancelot, I was examined by many measures and they all told me that even if by some miracle I managed to give birth, the child would not be normal and healthy. that it would be better if I gave up on the child...my son..." Feeling tears well up in my eyes, "but my son was in my belly and he was living, so I couldn't give up. Even though he was different from other people, even if he couldn't study, even if his body was weak, I would love him and I would make sure to bring you happiness to him, but his condition was worse than Simon and I thought. He was already close to death. The doctors couldn't do it. nothing with or without magic. I prayed to any being that inhabits the heavens. No matter what, I wanted him to be born. As long as he was born, no matter what happened, he would grow up completely happy. That was all I asked for." Tears started to flow from my eyes, "at birth his heart stopped and the doctors said he was dead, however by some miracle his heart started beating again, those seconds I thought I lost Lancelot are without a doubt the things but I've experienced, Lancelot didn't cry in childbirth, so I remembered the words of a senior guardian maid: "babies who don't cry at birth usually have complications and have a fragile body", but those were the least of my problems son was alive thats all that mattered but that thought only lasted at first, after Lance learned to crawl he started moving everywhere in the house. Everyone. Kitchen, back door, storage, equipment location cleaning room, fireplace and etc. He even went up to the second floor, as much as no one could imagine how the baby did it." I laughed while crying, "Anyway, he disappeared whenever you took your eyes off him and always was found somewhere in the house. After that Lance got bigger and bigger. The doctors said it was a real miracle, I'm very happy to have been the mother of a strong and kind man." Iris wrapped me in a loving hug, "that's why this war scares me, I don't want that pain I felt when I imagined that he was dead." Iris kissed my forehead, and started stroking my hair.

"Isa, don't worry, we're going to win this battle."
