[Your actions have caused a small change in Leona Manderly's fate. You will get a random reward for this event. If you change the fate of some notable character with or without a pov in the books, the system will give you rewards. The chances of getting a reward for changing the fate of some named and unnamed characters who are not notable will be less and random. Be warned, Fate is fickle and too much intervention may cause unwanted attention from the High Gods of this world.]
[Choose from the three rewards given below for making a minor change in Leona's fate:
1. Free Stat - 2
2. Magic Spells Compendium - Fertility Manipulation
3. Ten Free Pikemen Summon token]
Damian chose the second option without any hesitation as it would be harder to come across such a magical ability.
Magic Spell compendiums or books contain information about spells on various different topics or a single topic. The spells can be charged with Magical energy and can be learned by others if they can control magical energy.
Fertility Manipulation Spells Book - This book contains various spells that can manipulate the different aspects of the Fertility of living beings such as humans and animals of all kinds. There are spells to manipulate the fertility of the land, plants and even magical creatures. There are even spells that can alter one's own and/or another's person or creature's sex (the biological aspect of gender) either permanently or temporarily. Huge magical energy and sacrifices are needed to change one's gender permanently and they are irreversible once they are performed.
Damian chose the magical book that concentrated on the Fertility aspects. It was a goldmine and if he could learn the spells then changing the fate of the North would become very easy. But the first thing that Damian wanted to learn from this book was a very useful and easy spell, which if performed correctly, can help gain the ability to control his own fertility.
While controlling another person's fertility was much harder and it required their cooperation or Damian needed to spend an immense amount of magic, which he did not currently possess to forcefully manipulate others' fertility.
Damian can decide if his seed could impregnate a woman or not every time he had sex. Or he could decide the gender of the child being born by his seed, which was a very simple spell, that he has already performed while doing sex with Leona.
All the information about the spells was already in his mind when chose that option and he could bring one out to learn at a single thought. Therefore, Damian brought forth the spell he needed the most and immediately performed it on himself while he humped away in Leona's pussy.
Damian didn't want to impregnate Leona before the start of their coupling, but as he went along, his mind changed and his inner wolf was unleashed in between. It wanted him to impregnate the women below him. He thought of how he would be participating in the upcoming war, and he might even die in it. The instinct to leave behind something in this world, a mark of sorts had taken over him at that time and so the reason behind his subsequent decision.
Of course, Damian only decided that after learning about the reward, otherwise, he had already thought of pulling out.
The spell was easy to perform as it was made up of a single sentence in a common tongue which he could chant in his mind. The first time it failed due to a small mistake in his pronunciation. The second time he did it correctly and as a result, he felt all of the magic in his body getting consumed by the spell quickly.
Damian soon found out about the changes brought by the spell. He felt he could decide what happens with the semen that his testicles manufacture for the next twenty-four hours and assign which chromosome should dominate in all his sperm so that the result would be a male or a female.
It was a surreal feeling but it was one that he knew to be true.
For his first descendant, Damian decided that it had to be a female so that there won't a case of line theft. Also, he didn't believe in gender supremacy and believed that both a son and a daughter can further his line.
Damian sent Leona away after extracting a promise from her not to drink moon tea. She was fertile right now and it was almost sure that she will be impregnated with a girl. He also promised to give her a secret concoction before leaving that can make sure she has a girl and not a boy.
Leona didn't believe him of course but had already decided to give birth to his baby. She has left everything to her fate and if the boy does come out of her womb, then Wylis should be made aware of the truth. He has already given his consent to take a lover even if it terms were for her to take moon tea every time afterwards. Mistakes happen and moon tea is not a hundred per cent guarantee. Wylis will have to accept the child if doesn't want his reputation to turn bad, she knows he will understand.
At the break of the dawn, Damian knocked on Jory's door to wake him up. Jory and the three Stark men at arms will be joining him to travel ahead of the army.
But as soon as Jory opened the door, Damian found that his friend didn't seem to have slept very well last night.
"What happened to you?" Damian asked.
"What do you think?" Jory replied with an eye roll and looked at the young Stark with judgemental eyes.
"What?" Damian asked again though he already knew now why his friend seemed so disgruntled with him. Last night, Leona wasn't quiet at all and the walls between their room weren't thick enough to lower the sound of their lovemaking. Jory must have heard the noises.
Damian only hopes his friend has not recognised Leona's voice or else... well, he can't do anything about it. Anyway, Jory was his friend and he wasn't the type to gossip around after finding a secret.
"Let's go, I want to leave as soon as possible." Damian changed the topic so Jory doesn't get the chance to ask him anything.
"... Alright, let's go," Jory said with a sigh. Deciding not to pursue anything and forget everything he heard last night. Soon, Jory followed Damian to the port but not before seeing him hand over a coloured glass jar filled with a liquid to a maid with the instruction to whom she should deliver it.
Sirius Black, Damian's right hand, had already finished preparing everything they needed to start sailing. After everyone boarded the ship, Merry Go, Damian issued the command to set sail for the neck.
