"First births are hard, emotionally as well as physically. Her husband isn't here, so you're it. Suit up, and go comfort your daughter." Soon I was in...a full gown, with a face mask and footies, a cap on my head.Leah was pale, her hair hanging limply, soaked in sweat. I took her hand and she looked up, responding to me by almost squeezing my hand off. "It hurts." she whispered, closing her eyes. I looked at the doctor and she held up both hands twice. Twenty minutes, or maybe less.The. Once, we had all been chained to the Demon, roasting in his fires. But he had been defeated. And now I would claim his dominion. I was the God-King. I would rule hell. All shall bow before my majesty.My new queen strode at my side, her hand resting on my arm.

She burned with the same need to destroy Mark and his whore that I did.I sensed almost a kindred spirit in her. Emi was not. "Doc said, "The servants did not seem to be appreciated." They got the short end of the stick but they have the robots to boss around. Look at what is in the world now. There is so much misery that it would take the Aristis people thousands of years to equal it.

The text message from my wife read:Thank you for helping my sister. Please stay the night and help her as much as possible. I’ll be over late morning so that the three of us can talk and we can answer.
