The moment he said those words to me, my body stilled, and the realization struck me and my eyes trembled.
"I'm not only worried about your condition" he intoned and my body grew tense. "Yel-"
"He requested for your firstborn son" I cut him off before he could say anymore. "Then we better hope we have a girl", I turned away from him, my breath shaky, gods! I forgot about his bargain with Basker, that must have been the first thought in his head the moment he learned that I'm with child, this was even more alarming, I licked my lips. Yes I pray I have a daughter because if I have a son, Basker will come for him, the mere thought of it got my heartbeat quicken, the thought of parting away from my child.
I knew Basker wasn't a bad person, but I never understood why he struck that bargain with Nicklaus millennia ago, that Avatar always had something up his sleeve, well if he could hear me now, he should better watch out!
