Bab 570: The Unknown

ELIA

Elia's heart was pounding and she grabbed for Jayah's hand. "You know something's wrong?"

Jayah shook her head, taking Elia's hand in both of hers. "No, no. See, this is why I struggle to know what to say. It is understandable that you would be concerned for your little one, for yourself. And some of the things I've seen… they are very difficult. But others… and it's impossible to know which your journey will be."

Elia took a deep breath. "I want to know, though. I want to know what is possible, and what to look for, and what to pray against."

Jayah nodded. "If you wish to know, I will tell you. Aymora wishes to protect you, but I think… I think it is better for a mother to know. Though you must remember that not everything will happen in every birth. Yours may be easy. We can't know until we're there."
