Selena.
Maldoria
I groaned as I used all my strength to push.
I sighed in relief as I felt the two lives inside of me pushed out and their cries fill the room.
Right now, I was feeling so many emotions right now and I was praying that my episode won't be triggered. I accidentally killed Jackson and I couldn't forgive myself for it, I don't know what I'll do if the same happens to my babies.
I immediately snapped my fingers and the last thing I heard before going unconscious was, "It's a boy and a girl!"

I slowly opened my eyes and shut them immediately due to the sunlight. I opened them slowly as I adjusted to the light. I looked around and saw that the ward was empty.
I climbed down from the bed and got into my slippers lying at the foot of the bed.
I wanted to see my babies so badly. I walked out of the room and looked at both sides of the corridor. I decided to first see my dad and ask him so I walked down the left side of the corridor.
As I walked down the corridor, I stopped as I saw Amara approaching.
I asked myself what she doing here then I remembered that I just gave birth and she had the right to see her grandchildren.
She looked at me without a trace of emotion before walking past me. I looked over my shoulder and saw her walk into the council room.
I stopped walking and walked back a bit. I stood at the door of the council room and I peeped in to see my dad and several other council members seated there. They were holding a council meeting.
"What is she doing here?" Councilman Aldus asked as Amara walked in and my father looked sideways to face her.
"She actually asked for this meeting to be held," he replied and I got curious to know why she called the meeting and how someone who was not on the council could make my dad to call the meeting.
"What is this about?" Another councilman asked.
"It's about Selena and how she is a danger to the safety of everyone including my grandchildren," Amara replied and she went to take a seat on an empty chair.
It's also my fault that seat was empty. Councilman Landon has been in and out of a magical coma for three years now.
He's not dead so his seat can't be taken by anyone else.
"And Rufus agreed to hold a meeting about his daughter?" Aldus asked, facing Rufus.
"Because he agrees that it's important to ensure the safety of his grandchildren and everyone else," Amara replied and I looked at my dad who remained silent where he sat.
"So what do you want to do about it? Banish your own daughter?" Councilwoman Evelyn asked.
My dad shook his head, "No, Amara and I talked about it and we decided that I build her a house at the edge of the clan where she can live," my dad said and I felt a pain in my heart. I knew that there was no other option as easy as this, but it still hurt.
"What about her children?" A councilman asked.
"I'll keep them here and hire a nanny to take care of them," My dad said and I felt my heart skip again.
"You're going to take her children away from her?" Evelyn asked.
"We're not taking her children away, she's a mother and she'll understand that it's important to ensure her children's safety."

I stepped out of the portal and opened my eyes. I looked at the baby in my hand and I blinked back the tears in my eyes.
Unfortunate circumstances tore my own children away from my hands and it was so bad that I had to do the same to another woman.
I sighed and placed the baby gently on the couch. I was back in my house in Maldoria even though I had said I wouldn't come back here until I had my complete family.
There was no where for me to stay and I had to carry out the instructions the ancestors would give me real quick.
Images flashed in my head of writings on the wall and I used a translation spell to understand them.
They just showed me a spell I could use to block anyone from tracking me here.
I snapped my fingers, casting the spell and more images flashed in my head. I quickly went to my room and I opened my closet, taking out a wooden bowl, roots I never had before now, and some candles, walking back to the sitting room.
I placed the items on a table including the candles, and I snapped my fingers to light them up.
According to the message I got, I also needed the branch of a tree I had never heard before.
A Black Sycamore.
"Where the hell do I get that?" I asked in frustration and immediately, more images flashed in my head. The board used to indicate the starting of our Clan's territory was made out of that tree. That board has been there for centuries before the parents of everyone alive in the clan were born.
Luckily, my house was right at the border of the clan.
"Moticus." I chanted and I instantly teleported to the border. I looked at the large board and I stretched my hands at it. A thin scarlet beam fired out of my hand and hit the edge of the board, breaking off a piece of it's edge.
I picked up the small piece of wood and snapped my fingers, teleporting back inside my house. I dropped the wood on the table and images of writings on a wall flashed in my head again.
I picked up a knife and gently cut my left palm, squeezing small drops of my blood into the wooden bowl.
I dropped the roots that appeared out of nowhere in my closet into the bowl one after the other.
"Lumiveris." I chanted and the roots dissolved into my blood, releasing white fogs that soon disappeared into the air.
I dropped in the piece of wood next and I began to chant.
"Tribite Rinonsa Viros ol' emi. Tribite Rinonsa Viros ol'emi. Tribite Rinonsa Viros ol' emi," I chanted and I felt massive power surge through my body.
The inside of the bowl began to glow brightly. I gasped as I felt all the power flow out of me into the bowl and when it stopped glowing, there was a tiny drop of a thick black liquid in the bowl.
I looked sideways as I saw a familiar purple portal open in the room.
Shit! I cursed as I saw the entire crew step out of the portal.
