Royal or Loyal? [A garmau AU] ✔️

Battle [36]

One day before Aphmau goes onto the battle field. She already feels tense, worrying about bigger problems.

After another day of training, Zoey calls Aphmau and Garroth to see if they would want to know the gender of the baby. Apparently, she had found a potion that would determine so.

"What do you think?"

Garroth shrugged. "I was going to say it was up to you, really."

"I kind of want to know."

"Me too." He blankly admitted, looking at the small figure in her cell. Delicate and frail. But so strong at the same time.

Garroth sat down in front of the cell, and so did Zoey. She explained to them both about how it worked and that she had to draw some blood.

"Pink for girl and blue for boy.  Af if that wasn't obvious enough."

Zoey pricked Aphmau's finger, taking some of the blood and dripping it into the potion.

1,

2,

3.

The potion was swirling around and suddenly the liquid turned pink.

They're having a daughter.

"It's a girl,"

"We're having a daughter!" Garroth was extremely happy. He always wanted a daughter.

Aphmau was happy too. She just wished that it was under better circumstances, though, she wouldn't deny that she was in love with Garroth still.

But he needed to earn her trust all over again if it meant being with him.

Happiness was the look on both of their faces. Aphmau laughed, grabbing Garroth's had supportively.

They would go onto the battle field tomorrow. Zoey cast a protection spell on the baby, making sure that Aphmau's movements wouldn't have a grave effect on them.

Tomorrow she had to be in battle.

Tomorrow she was fighting for two.

(Mentions of violence, blood and gore.)

Guards stood at the front line of the O'khasis wall, soldiers waited outside. Garroth and Aphmau were lucky enough to be stationed at the wall and are to go down into battle when they pleased.

Though talented in combat, Aphmau also was very talented in healing magiks, which made her even more wanted out there.

That's when they finally saw the sight. Tu'la was there, approaching the city's walls with their army. And to the horrid sight, O'khasis was outnumbered.

They charged. Both sides finally going to war with each other. This was going to be bloody.

Although Zoey did cast a protection spell on Aphmau, she still had all of the effects of her pregnancy.

One of the things that could slow her down.

She ran to he guard tower, quickly glancing at Garroth before doing so.
