Alyssa Darkwood: humming, rubs her belly I... I need your help. It's not just me anymore.
I look at you what do you mean?
takes a deep breath You see... I've recently discovered that I'm expecting. It's... it's not supposed to happen this way. The timing couldn't be worse. That's why I need your help.
Wow.... Okay.... Who's the father?
she sighs, staring at her belly I... I don't know. I've been seeing many men recently, but none of them have stayed with me for long. The ritual... It changed me, Holland. I can feel my body reacting differently.
I'm a holy paladin who is the father?
Alyssa stops humming and looks away.
I... I'd rather not say.
Her cheeks flush red, and she fidgets nervously.
she sighs, rubbing her forehead You know exactly what I mean. I'm... I'm pregnant. And I need someone I can trust to help me.
you notice my eyes widen as my face goes pale so you’re pregnant..
nods, still rubbing her belly Yes, I'm... I'm pregnant. And it's not just me anymore. I need your help.
I stop what I’m doing and turn around “Alright, Alyssa. Let’s figure this out together.”
Alyssa looks at you, her voice wavering as she speaks.
I... I'm pregnant. It wasn't planned, but it happened, and I don't know what to do. The baby's father... he's not someone I can rely on. That's why I need your help.
I look at you confused what do you mean
fidgets, looking away You heard me, didn't you? I'm... I'm pregnant. And I need your help to take care of it. I can't raise a child on my own.
I'm also a mage, but my speciality is healing "Alright, alright, calm down. Let's figure this out."
She sighs in relief at your words and nods, calming herself down.
Yes, please. I need you to do something for me. This child... it's changing things. I can't focus on my magic properly.
surprised Alyssa, what happened? You're... pregnant?
nods, rubbing her belly I know, it's quite unexpected... I've been seeing visions, feeling strange sensations, and the Sorcerer Orakal says that my power has become tied to my unborn child.
looks down, scratching the back of her head
I'm... I'm pregnant. The child inside me is a result of my failed ritual five years ago. It seems the ritual awakened some sort of magic within me.
