Ice and Rain

As her wedding approaches she finds that she is very weak. She goes to the doctors of her land, for an angel knows of now sickness. The doctors take a look at her, and smiles. "Oh dear, you are with child." the midwives shake her head as she walks away. Standing there the angels is beside herself. Heart in joy, but shattered in a million pieces. Only one man has touched her. ONLY ONE, and he is GONE. What is she going to do. How is her betrothed going to handle this. How is SHE going to live with this knowledge alone. She tells her Arch Oracle, and makes him vow a cry of silence, but before she even leave the temple he sends a parchment to the man to warn him of her sickness, and her future. Worried for her safety he only wishes what is best for her, but not sure of her decisions in her state of mind.

She wonders looking for a way to tell her betrothed, for she can't lie to him. An angel falls without her honor, and truth of light. He walks from the darkness with a smile, and wraps his arms around her trembling body. He looks into her eyes, and sees her pain. He back up lightly and holds her at arms length. "Oh pray tell me dear, what has worried my pour angels heart?" She peers back at him hearing her heart screaming to her to tell him the truth. "M'Lord, I must speak to you of things to come." he nods, and motions for her to have a seat. She does with a nod, and begins to speak lightly.

She tell him of her encounter with her friend, and how she has been touched, and how her heart grieved for him. How she was raped by another, and how......how...how she boars a child. His eyes fill with pain, and he looks the other way. Unable to look upon her. He feels his heart breaking in two as he stand. Tears filling his eyes he looks down, making sure she does not see.

"I love you, but I must go" he walks off lightly and into the darkness. She stands there feeling her heart grow cold. Feeling ice shards enter her body like cold water filling her veins. Hating her every being. Feeling like she had destroyed herself. Mean while the Fae that is to return has sent the Queen word of his arrival, and how he deserves the right to fight for his family, and love. He pleads to her of how he does not wish to leave a child alone. How he wants to be apart of this small one unlike his father. Worried that he will turn into his father he hasten his paste. Morning forward and making time. HE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS. As she awaits in heaven she touches her stomach lightly thinking of what her child will looks like. Wondering if she will marry.
A dove flutter down with grace, and she notices the seal upon the parchment. "THE QUEEN?" she was in shock, hands were shaking as she opened the letter. All it said was "COME AT ONCE" She held it to her chest as fear rushed to her, and she descended the clouds to await her simbuls words. As she entered the thrown room the Simbul motioned her to cross the room to sit at her feet. She bowed lightly folding her wings under her robes. Gracefully walking to her Queens side she hides her fear. The queen looks down on her with a great sadness in her eyes. "Jennidia, I have heard that you have a lover awaiting you. Is this true?" Looking at the parchment clutched in the hands of the Simbul she noticed the worn edges, and know it was from HIM. She looks to the Simbul and nods. "Aye my Queen I do, or did" not sure of her answer she looks down. The Simbul nodding she takes Jennidia's face and moves it to look up at her. and watches her eyes. She speak with a faint yet strong will manor. "Are you with child, and is it this mans that has come to call?" Fear again filling her heart she nods without a word. Unable to speak she lets her mind slip away awaiting to be sent away or thrown in jail. She hears a great sigh escape the Simbul as she leans into her thrown letting the angel sit next to on the steps a minute. "Well Jennidia, the wedding must wait. We must not make haste on such a strong emotion of events." Jennidia goes to protest but understands the Simbul's words. Nodding she stands. Bowing again she ask to leave. The Simbul nods having many things to complete herself she lets the Angel depart knowing that her words were pain enough.

Jennidia wonders through the night as she does not know what to do. The next day she awakes to hear that the angel that desecrated her was torn from the sky in a war that he could not stop. As she holds the letter close happy he got his judgment she still felt like he did not get the full judgment knowing one day he will return. Thoughts rushing from her mind her Leopard calls to her. She goes to him with a smile. Happy to think of something other then the heart. She walks with him through the woods, and watching him chase after mice, and rodents. Happy to be among a friend she decides to confide in him. Not telling him to much, but telling him of the Simbul's decision. He agreed that there was a lot going on, and that she needed time to think, but after that he feel silent, and told her that her betrothed cried to him of her all night, and of her pain caused by another angel. She nodded listening unable to truly respond.

He licked her face, and pured to her lightly. Laying atop her feet she let her mind wander, as she watched him sleep. Maybe it will be okay. But all she knew is that this child was hers, and no one would take that away from her.
