"My Queen!" The dragons shouted across the field.
Zarek caught Roxy before she hit the ground. His face was pale, his eyes wild with panic. "Roxy! What happened?!"
"Fuck!" Roxy shrieked, grabbing his hair and pulling his face down to hers. Her face was drenched with cold sweat. "It's the fucking baby! Zarek, the damn baby!"
Zarek immediately scoops her into his arms and runs toward the direction of the cave.

This was not pain. It felt like she was in the presence of death as it tore at her limbs.
"GET IT OUT OF ME!" Roxy screamed, her voice raw against the walls as soon as Zarek settled her on the stone bed.
