Birth (Chapter from the Book)

Story

The Queen was of age but never did she had a child. The King, never wanted to have a concubine just to have an heir, so he stayed by his wife, desperately finding a way to have a child.

He ordered his men far out of his kingdom to find ways, what ever ways as to obtain an offspring. It does not matter whether it was a curse, a spell, or to do wrongdoings. Whenever Man wants it, he does everything to get it.

Finally the Royal Guards have heard of a Goddess who grants thy wishes if you seek her yourself. They immediately informed the desperate King and Queen, and without further ado, they set off to the Woods to find her.

The Old Lady was none other than Gaea, to test those who are in need, if they are worthy of their wish or not. She asks help from the King, and the King, even if he was desperate, lowered his pride and helped the Old Lady to her house.

She introduced herself to return their kindness, and told them to ask for anything, they rejoiced to have sought the one who may fulfill their wish, but the old lady said.

To have a child is a responsibility, are you up for the challenge?

The King then replied,

I have raised my Kingdom to its current Glory and Prosperity, a child to raise would be much more than that, but I am a King, and a Warrior in front of a challenge, I have no other choice but to face it. And as a Man, I would do anything.

Delighted of those words, the Old Lady smiled and touched the Queen's hand.

You have found a great King, then as you wish, you may have a child, but, I would like to ask something in return.

The Queen didn't hesitate and gladly took the request.

Let your child wander through out my woods. Every year she is to give a basket full of fruits, offer it to the Tree of hast no Name.

Knowing that it was not that hard of a task, the Queen smiled upon the Old Lady, and accepted it, she guaranteed that her child will do as she wishes, after that, the Old Lady then touched her womb. And with her last words, they went back safely into their kingdom

When they head back, they were dumbfounded because the Guard were to tell, that they were gone for a whole month, even though for them it only felt like a day. Magic cannot really be measured by time alone, can't it?

~~She'll grow into a beautiful Princess, one who is loved by many, may she grow up to be like her parents, a mighty leader, and a caring mother, who loves their family and those who serve her. ~~
