Chres raced over the sands, not bothering with flight. His hand that grasped Windris's was tight, he had no need to promise aloud, she knew. He saw his sister with Arkados, blood surrounding her. He slowed slightly, gripping Windris's hand tightly, his anger pumping through his veins but choked back forcefully.
Jah barely saw her brother and Windris approach through her pain, she just moaned.
Chres released Windris's hand and kneeled beside her sister, "Jahanaci, girl, listen to me. I need you to push hard, don't worry, everything will be alright."
He looked at Arkados, "Speak to her, she can't be concentrating on me..or what I could do."
Jahanaci sturggled away from Chres, sobbing, "No-no, you'll hurt my baby. No."
Chres shifted positions, ready for the baby to emerge, ignoring his sister's panicked sobs. "Push, Jah, push."
Jah could not deny instinct, and that was what she did, her face growing paler and paler as more blood covered the sands around her. Chres watched expectantly as a head appeared, and slowly...ever slowly a body appeared. Chres gently took it in his arms as it emerged.
It was stillborn as he knew it would be. He turned his back to Jah, biting sharply into his own wrist and pressing it against the babe's half open maw, forcing the liquid down it's throat.
The process would be long and tiresome for him to fufill the babe to Life, but he would do so. His eyes met Windris's for a moment before he looked down at the cold child, gradually -in fifteen grueling minutes- the child's skin became brighter and it's eyes opened. It crooned, looking at Chres before erupting into loud sobs.
Jah -certain that something was happening to her baby- screamed, trying to rise. She fell back, her flesh so pale..deathly pale.
Chres turned and kneeled beside his sister, handing her the child. The child was a femme. Jah held the child to her chest, rocking the crying babe. She felt weak, but ignored it, her baby was alive.
Chres breathed in deeply, shielding his anger and letting himself rest before he would give Jah much needed blood.
