Hannah; Phoebe shouted . Why do you have to make me all of X can't eat all and we don't have to waste food . Your majesty, king Xander ordered us to do this for you;Hannah replied .
But;Phoebe voiced out. No but ; the king chimed in . Honey you are pregnant and we don't know the particular food for you but you have to eat too . You need energy and the baby needs it too so no argument just eat what you want and leave the rest.
Oh my gosh . Thank you . That is very thoughtful of you;Phoebe replied happily. She ate to her satisfaction and as she ate Xander wondered in his heard ;How is the baby going to be like ? I really want a male who can take after the kingdom . Even though female is good, I can't watch my daughter been married off to some total outsider. Or the worse part is you entrusting your whole kingdom into the hands of that male .How pathetic.
Dear what are you thinking about; Phoebe worriedly asked. Are you thinking about how the baby is going to be? Xander wanted to lie but his facial expression gave him out . Your facial expression just gave you out . Don't worry my love . Everything is going to be perfect . I believe our baby is destined to be someone great .
After some months.
Your Majesty, the Queen wants to see you. Xander rushed to the labour room where his wife was just about to give birth . Phoebe I am here don't worry; Xavier said worriedly. Xander held Phoebe and reassured her that everything is going to be alright. Pheobe closed her eyes as she tried harder to force the baby out .
My lady please a little bit more energy I see the head of the baby;the midwife said. And with one last shout she pushed the baby out . It's a boy your majesty;the midwife shouted . My lady please try again I see another baby . Phoebe pushed with all her strength and collapsed on the bed . This is a girl ;the nurse said . The cries of the twins filled the room .
Doc Phoebe is not breathing; Xavier shouted . Your majesty she just needs some rest. She lost quite a great amount of blood . She will be awake in about an hour's time;the doctor replied calmly .
Doc can I have a look at the babies . Of course your majesty. Xander looked at the two babies lying peacefully . He was so glad for this gift granted to him . I am extremely happy and the fact that they are twins more importantly I had a boy that will become the heir to the throne;Xander thought.
Oh my head hurts; Phoebe said as she woke up. Phoebe are you fine? I was so worried when you passed out . I thought I lost you ; Xander said .
I am fine . It is just that my head hurts . Where are my babies . I want to have a look at them . The nurse took the babies to Phoebe since she was not able to get out of the bed . My babies you are destined for great things . I can feel it ; Phoebe whispered as she held her two babies .
Later that night , when the castle was very quiet and only the sound of the crickets chirping could be heard , Xander had a frightening nightmare.
Where are my ?;Xander asked . I have been visiting you almost every night in your dream; a voice called out . Although you have not ignored my warning , you are running out of time . You have to seal up the forest . She is coming for you and you can feel . Take necessary actions but keep your children safe. And with that Xander found himself on the bed again .
As he go up from the bed he gazed at his wife sleeping peacefully with the children . He had decided to do as the voice told him . He rushed to the study and wrote a note to his brother Xavier , telling him what happened, and the next action he was about to take . He gave the note to a pigeon to deliver it and went back to his room .
Surprisingly, his wife was still in bed so, he dressed up and called his trusted officer Lincoln to gather the elder of the kingdom in the hall to talk to them.
Elders of the kingdom of Mistletoe, I king Xander gather you here , to inform you that I will be taking a leave with my brother King Xavier of the kingdom of Belaidia to the perform an activity. In the meantime, I will leave the kingdom in the hands of Elder Merdock . If he needs any assistance the rest of you will assist him and till I return make sure the kingdom is safe. Anyone has something to say?
Elder Merdock rose to his feet and said; Your Majesty, first of all I would like to thank you for entrusting the kingdom into me and the trust you have in me . I promise I will keep this kingdom safe . Also, on behalf of the elders here , I would like to congratulate you and Queen Pheobe on your new babies and we would support you and the Queen together with your children as long as we live .
King Xander was grateful for what Elder Merdock said and ended the meeting after they had discussed some few things .
When he went to the room , he realised his wife was not around neither were his babies . He asked a maid where the Queen was. She is tending to the babies in the dining room; the maid said
King Xander went to the dining room and Phoebe feeding the babies whiles the nurse was assisting her . He decided to have his breakfast in order to wait for his wife. After Phoebe finished feeding the babies and the maid had left, she went to put the babies to sleep and she came back to the dinning room .
What were you discussing with the elders this morning? ;Phoebe asked, curious to know what was going on . I was planning to travel with my brother to forest Mugua. We have to seal up the forest and I left everything to Merdock. He is going to be in charge while I am gone . When I return we can have the ceremony to celebrate the kids . I am curious on the names you would want to give to the kids; Phoebe said .
The boy is going to be Erin and the girl would be Estella;Xander replied . I love the names;Phoebe said .
The day passed by very fast . The following day, King Xander prepared to embark on the journey with his brother. Dear please take care; Phoebe said . Don't worry. I will be fine; Xander reassured Phoebe. He leaned forward and kissed her passionately . He kissed the forehaeds of his babies before leaving .
He rode his horse to his brother' s kingdom . Once he got there he was welcomed by Queen Merian. After speaking with her for sometime, he left to his brother's study room. Have you gathered the sorcerers to seal the forest; Xander asked.
Yes . But let us store the blood for the sealing in a vessel since no one has to know the source of blood I will use my blood since I am older .Xander collected some of his blood and they stored it in a vessel . They rode to the Forest Mugua the following day . They met the sorcerers at the forest . The thick cloud sill covered the forest .
Your majesties we would begin this ritual as early as possible . With that , the elder sorcerer started saying some incantations. The rest of the elders held hands to connect their powers in order to seal the forest . As they continued a gust of wind blew and it felt like the wind had carried all the incantations away .
A bright array of light surrounded the forest and finally encircled on a stone . The elder sorcerer got up and asked; Your majesties, we need something to complete the ritual. King Xander handed the vessel containing his blood to the sorcerer . Your majesty , if I may ask , where is the source of this blood;the sorcerer asked. Just use it like that no need to know the source; Xavier answered .
The sorcerer poured the blood in a hole that was engraved in the stone. Your majesties we have been able to seal the forest. The person who bears the blood that was used can release the forest if he or she can perform the ritual . With that , the sorcerers left the place. The king and his brother also set off .
Xander went to his brother's kingdom to stay there for sometime. He used that opportunity to tell discuss other matters .
