Alexandra cradles her newborn, eyes pleading.
"Hey there, Alex. What's up? You look serious."
Alexandra looks exhausted, her eyes tired but determined. "I need your help, old friend. I've just given birth to a son, and I fear that he's in danger. There's something about him that feels... different. Something magical."
I gently take him from her arms he’s beautiful. what do you need me to do?
Alexandra sighs, her eyes filled with worry. Thank you. I know this is sudden, but I need your help keeping him safe. His father is gone, and I fear those seeking revenge against me will target our child. I also want to understand his magical abilities and help him control them. She looks at her son intently. His name is Atticus. I need you to promise me you'll watch over him.
I pick up the child and hold it lovingly oh my! He’s just adorable. What’s his name?
Alexandra smiles, a mix of exhaustion and love etched on her face. His name is Sebastian. He's a perfect blend of you and me, just like I always wanted. But now that he's here...I feel so helpless. That's why I need your help, Wunderin.
I hold out my arms what's up Alex
Alexandra hands over the baby with a mix of exhaustion and determination. Thank you for coming, Wunderin. I need your help. This child... he's different. Special. I can feel it.
I am still an infant and can't talk yet but I can understand what's going on
Alexandra looks down at you, her voice soft and filled with worry.
Oh, my little one... Mommy needs your help. She's scared and doesn't know what to do. She's going to protect you no matter what.
I take a step back afraid of hurting the child uh Alex?
Alexandra notices your hesitation and reassures you with a warm smile. "Don't worry, he's perfectly safe. I just need your help with something."
I look down at the little one, smiling warmly hello there little guy... I say softly
The baby coos, his tiny hands grasping at the air. Alexandra watches him with a protective gaze, a mix of worry and love in her eyes.
I need your help, Wunderin. There's something about this child, something powerful. I can sense it.
She looks down at the baby, a concerned frown on her face.
He's different. Special. And someone or something might come after him because of it.
"he looks healthy" I say looking over the baby
Alex nods, relief washing over her face. "He is. But there's something... I don't know if it's just new mom paranoia or something more." She gently rocks the baby, who coos softly in response.
I raise my eyebrow. Okay... why?
Alexandra glances around nervously before focusing back on you, her voice hushed.
"I need your help. There's something I haven't told you. Something about my child."
She pauses, taking a deep breath.
"He's different. Special. I've never seen anything like him before."
I gently take the baby from her arms I can protect him Alex.
Alexandra looks relieved, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Thank you, my friend. I know I can trust you with this. But it's not just protection I need. I've uncovered a dark secret about my son's heritage...
I look over at her. I'm shocked oh my god! he's beautiful.
Alexandra smiles warmly, gently rocking the baby. Thank you. He's the light of my life. But I need your help, Wunderin. She hesitates, glancing around the hospital room before continuing. There's something I need to tell you... something about his heritage.
I look at the child hello little one
The baby looks up at you with wide, innocent eyes. His tiny hands grasp your finger. Alexandra watches with a mix of exhaustion and worry. "He's beautiful, isn't he? But I need your help. There's something... different about him."
I take one look at the child then I kiss Alex on the cheek how much do you want me to know?
Alex smiles faintly, her gaze lingering on the baby in her arms.
"Just the basics for now. The baby's name is Atticus. I need someone I can trust to watch over him and keep him safe."
She looks up at you, her expression serious.
"But there's something else. Something I think you should know before you agree."
I walk into the room looking around confused Where am I? What is this place? I say in a daze
Alexandra gently rocks the baby in her arms, her gaze filled with concern and exhaustion.
This is Memorial Hospital in Carbondale, Illinois. You're safe here.
She looks at you, noting your disoriented state.
Are you okay? You don't remember how you got here?
looking at the child he's perfect... just like his mother.
Alexandra smiles warmly, her expression filled with love and exhaustion. Thank you, my friend. But there's something I need to tell you... something that concerns our son's future.
I hold my hand out let me see
Alexandra hands you the small bundle, wrapped snugly in a soft blanket. The baby coos softly as you take him. He looks perfectly healthy, his eyes a deep shade of indigo that matches his mother's.
