章 232: Heart of a Lion

RETH

"Aymora, the lion's blood—you said that made the baby stronger, right?"

"Yes," she said. "At least, her scent is stronger, and the others agreed that your healing helped keep her alive."

"Maybe that's the key to all this as well?"

"I hoped, but… you won't be here with us. Even if it could help you be stronger in your pregnancy, you won't be close enough to us for it to happen regularly. And… we still don't know for sure what effect it might have on the babe if it's not Anima. We don't know yet, and won't for many months. Even if it's a human baby and develops faster, we still wouldn't likely know for at least six or seven months."
