"Leetah here says th'other side's gonna attack before we're ready. Ain't much of a surprise, but that's what they're hopin' to give us."

*Malefica sighed.*
"Somehow I was afraid this would happen." *she said.* "Well, I'd better notify Haldir so he can prepare for the next attack. Thank you both for the warning. I saw some really good fighting out there today. I was really proud of you all."
*She gave them a smile and left to speak to Haldir.*

*Leetah looked at Cry-Baby.* (He is still in the room, right?)
"I don't know about you," *she said.* "But I want to go back out and fight."
*She stood on her feet and grinned teasingly*
"Are you coming?"

*Cry-Baby was on his feet.*
"Hell, yeah," *he said, loosening his sword in its scabbard.*

************LEETAH'S CHILDBIRTH*******************
*Leetah entered the fortress just in time. The pain in her back told her that the childbirth had set in. She sank to the floor and screamed out in pain.*

*Seabstian who had been I dunno hanging around I guess, probably eating chips and wangsting about something or everything, appeared in the hall and looked down at Leetah.*
"What's wrong?"

*Leetah looked up at him. Her forehead was wet from sweat, her hair clinging to her face.*
"Sebastian..." *She smiled and whimpered in pain.* "I think my water broke!"

You hurt your what?
*Sebastian's eyes widened and he might have even turned a little bit paler, how doubtful that might even seem. He didn't even know that Leetah was pregnant. He rushed forward and kneeled down next to her.*
"Well that's .... ehm. Then we need to get you to a doctor or something."
*He took her hand and gave her a very dazed and far off look. Fighting battles, killing things or people he could handle. Seeing a beautiful girl like Leetah going through the pain of childbirth, that was going to be tricky.*

*Leetah whimpered in pain once more and tried to stand up.*
"No, please. I have some mixtures with me, magical potions that will ensure my baby's magic skills. I have to drink them, one by one. They are dangerous, but I have to do it for my child. Can you just stay with me, so I don't have to go through this alone?"

*Sebastian slowly nodded.*
"Of course. Whatever you need, just tell me."

*Leetah gave him a piece of chalk.*
"I can't move so much. Can you please draw a circle on the floor? I have to read the magic words."

*Sebastian let go of Leetah's hand and began to draw a large circle around Leetah. He glanced at her from time to time, worry spread across his face like butter on bread.*
"Who's the father?"
*Subtlety had never been one of Sebastians virtues.*

*Leetah had found three bottles of potions that she placed in the circle. One red bottle, one blue and one black.*
"A human I met during the battle. I should have chosen a stronger race."
*She whimpered in pain again.*
"Like a demon. But I don't know any."
*She lifted the red bottle and looked at it."
"This is a symbol for life, and blood. The blood that has been spilled in Lorien, by the murder of Queen Tearbird. Child. I will revenge her death."
*She emptied the bottle. The poison burned inside her, and she screamed in pain and fell on her knees.*

*Sebastian didn't fully understand what Leetah had meant by that first remark, but didn't have much time to think about it since Leetah screamed in pain and fell over to her knees. Sebastian reached for her hand and softly squeezed it.*
"Let's focus on giving life, before we start talking about taking it."
*Sebastian said jestingly, though his eyes were filled with fear for Leetah.*

*Leetah smiled and looked up at him. She was shivering in pain, but still had to empty the blue bottle. For the second time, she stood up.*
"This is the symbol of magic. Child, with this bottle I will secure your magic, and hope you will be strong enough to claim your throne in Lorien. The throne Queen Tearbird entitled you to when she adopted you as her child."
*Leetah emptied the blue bottle. There were sparkles around her for a moment. Then a burning feeling inside her. She gasped from pain and almost fainted, falling to her knees again. This time, it took her longer to recover her strength and stand up. Her face was pale from the poisons she had emptied, and her forehead was sweat, as if she had a fever.
But her task was not done yet. The third bottle remained. The most dangerous, and most important of them all. Leetah's tiny body was trembling, but she had to do this for the child, and for Lorien. Leetah turned to Sebastian, trying to smile bravely.*
"Wish me luck," *She whispered.*
