"I don't know if we should tell anyone about our recognition, especially my aunt" Rain sighed. She and Rocky were still in her tent, the morning after accepting recognition
"I'm curious on why Aila" Rocky asked as he pulled his shirt on
"Because, what if my aunt does try to kill me, or what if I miscarry"
"You worry too much beloved. I have sworn myself to both you and the General that I would protect you. Now that our little one is growing inside of you, I swear to make sure that the both of you live to see the end of this war. And to see a time of everlasting peace in Edrait" Rocky swore as he knelt in front of the Princess
"You are too good for me Jael" Rain smiled as she kissed him
"But I'm curious, other than knowing each other's soul names, and creating a child. What else comes with recognition?" he asked
"Well, have a telepathic connection. We will also be able to know what the other is feeling" Rain replied as they finished getting dressed.
"We'll discover all these wonderful things tonight. Now I say that we should go and prepare for battle with your aunt" Rocky sighed
"But Rocky, what about telling everyone about our recognition"
"Let's tell a select few, like my sister and the General. And I haven't thought on how to get the word to your aunt yet" he admitted as they left.
"Rocky, where in the name of the Gods were you last night?" Pooky demanded as she rushed over
"Rain wanted me to stay with her last night, so I could comfort her" Rocky smiled
"You're lying to me brother. Tell me the truth" she ordered
"Fine, but not out here where everyone can hear. Tonight, come to Rain's tent" Rocky sighed and Pooky walked off. When noon came, Rocky, Pooky and Rain were eating lunch with the soldiers
"The High Queen killed my brother a few years ago. Then she has the guts to kill the Queen, and I want to see the foul woman dead and her head on a spike. Forgive me your majesty, but it's true" a young solider growled
"No offense taken friend. My aunt needs to pay for her crimes against Edrait and the lands beyond." Rain nodded "Now tell me, if we are to go to war with the High Queen, do we have everything ready? And do we have enough soldiers?"
"Everything is ready. Many of the soldiers from her army have switched to our side. They've given us valuable information" a nearby Sargent responded
"What if it's a trap? What if she wants us to know her plans?" Rocky asked
"Our Mages have looked through their memories, and found that the High Queen didn't send them. She doesn't know they are here"
"Even if she does, she can't stop them from telling us her secrets. Do you know if she has the Fruit?" Pooky asked
"She doesn't, it's still at her fortress" Crini responded as he entered the food tent
"General, might Rocky and I speak with you after lunch?" Rain asked and he nodded. An hour later, Rocky and Rain were sitting in front of the General
"Now what was so urgent my child"
"Last night Rocky and I recognized, and we've accepted it, and I'm now pregnant with child" Rain replied. Crini was silent for a while before sighing
"Somehow I knew that this was going to happen. But I didn't know it was going to happen so soon"
"Should we tell the High Queen?" Rain asked
