It was in the morning, and Maddie was still sleeping, Ariel and Lucas with the other warriors were getting prepared like they were waiting for war.
Maddie finally woke up after hearing all the noise that were coming from outside her room. When she wanted to stand up, she discovered that her stomach became heavier than usual. It has even swollen three times the size it was yesterday and her body was starting to boil up.
Ariel walked into the room and saw her as she was about to roll and fall, Ariel quickly ran to hold her. After holding her she layer her back on the bed properly.
"What's wrong with me?" Maddie wondered.
"You are now feeling the pain of what it feels like to carry an altera in the womb," Ariel said.
"What? How do you know?" she asked.
"I carry one too," Ariel said quietly.
Maddie was shocked because it didn't seem like it.
"Shocking, I know, and the worst part is that I'm carrying two," Ariel revealed.
Maddie was gasped by when she said
"You must be going through a lot of pain right now."
"Nah, I'm used to it," Ariel responded like it meant nothing.
"Ariel looked at Maddie with pity in her eyes,"
"This is just little out of your pain, because you are carrying the heir of alteras race, according to revelations,today is the day of the blood moon, when the heir will be born, much pain will come but you will have to endure," Ariel explained.
"I don't really have a choice."
Maddie just close her eyes and laid down after hearing what she said.

The day has gone by and they were all ready for war that night. Maddie just woke up and saw every one prepared, the full blood moon is almost out, her belly began to ache seriously than before, it was really painful this time around, it felt like they put fire in her tummy and something was biting her tummy. She screamed for help as the pain was increasing. Ariel ran to meet her and held her hand tightly.
"You'll be fine," Ariel said softly to Maddie, Maddie did not even budge, as she currently is far from fine.
"It is time!!!" Ariel shouted to all the warriors that were in the house.
They all assembled outside the house, while the women were with Maddie.
The moon was finally out and the moon appeared to be red. It was already the blood moon. Afterwards Maddie's water broke and she looked at Ariel and the woman with fear. All the pain Maddie was feeling disappeared for a minute and came back hundred times heavily.
Maddie screamed.
"You've got this," Ariel assured her, even though she herself was scared.
"Tie her hands and legs," Ariel commanded.
Maddie was looking confused despite the fact that she was in pain.
"Why are you trying me?" She cried out
"Let me go!!!"
They chained her hands separately and legs separately too, so she can give birth safely.
"Push," Ariel said to Maddie
Maddie tried to push and suddenly a very sharp air blew her up, but because of the chains that were tied to her body, she wasn't able to move far, she landed back on the bed.
"You're doing it...push!!" Ariel shouted.
She pushed again and she started floating in the air, only the chains were holding her down.
While outside the soldiers were waiting for any danger to come, everywhere was silent till arrows were being shot from the air, some of them began to die as the arrows were poisoned. Shortly, some people in mask could be seen as they were flying to meet them, the remaining soldiers being led by Lucas also flew to meet them halfway. Soon, everywhere was a pool of blood as magic was being casted everywhere, Lucas casting his won magic and killing some of theirs.
Maddie on the bed screamed and all the women that were around he were blown away to the ground by a strange force, Ariel got scared, all the activities were normal for them as they were built that way and could handle the heat but Maddie is just a pure mortal and human, this is too much for her, soon fire could be seen coming out of her eyes and they were all scared because they haven't seen anything like that before.
***
Back outside, the war was still going on, Lucas and the other warriors were still seriously in it together, before they heard the sound of horses, coming from afar, they were all beginning to get scared, including the enemies.
They all turned to where the sound was coming from and saw an army, of soldiers that were fully masked head to toe, including their horses, fully shielded, with a huge spear, they do not look like any regular army but a very special one.
Every one began to fear because, this army is the army of the dead, an army of dead soldiers that have once served them. Only a particular spell could wake these armies up, it could only mean that the dark lord has casted the spell to wake them up, and it is very impossible to kill them, they kill anybody in their way.
No magic whatsoever could work in them, so it would be pointless for Lucas and his warriors to start attacking them.
Most of the warriors that were outside started fleeing for their life, but they could not run too far before those soldiers started beheading most of them with their spears, blood was already flowing around the house.
***
Maddie was still inside with fire in her eyes coming out loud and a huge fire started to surround her bed, but the fire was not burning anything close, the fire stopped and they heard a sound of a new born baby coming from Maddie's angle. They saw Maddie already sleeping on the bed. Ariel and the maids went to check, and saw that Maddie had delivered a bouncing baby boy, the baby started crying out loud.
They were all shocked as they have never heard anything like this. As Ariel held the baby, the baby's body started getting hot, very hot than she could handle and saw, fire in his eyes, and immediately dropped him on the bed.
Then a very huge dragon came out of his back and flew up and blew the roof and went outside puting fire around the house and everywhere around the house started burning, the army of dead soldiers began to flee after seeing this very huge dragon.
The dragon flew back to where the new born baby was and entered his back and was nowhere to be seen, and a tattoo could be seen drawing itself on the back of the baby. And when it was done, the tattoo was fire with a piece of dragon. Not too big but just a little part of his back.
Every one were shocked and said at the sane time "THE RETURN OF THE FIRE DRAGON."
