Kyliska Sunfire
yawned and stretched her arms. She turned over in her bed to find her
love, Andithiel Moonblade laying beside her sleeping. She smiled sweetly
at him and didn't want to wake him. She quietly got out of bed, but not
before she lightly kissed his forehead. She had so much love in her
heart for him, she thought it would explode! She quickly but quietly
left their room and went down the hall to another room. She opened the
door and looked inside. She looked towards a cradle in the room. It was
rocking ever so slightly by a magic spell that her sister had put on it,
so the baby would be at ease. Kyli walked over to the cradle and smiled
down at her son sleeping soundly. How did she get so lucky to have a
wonderful man and son in her life? She couldn't remember the last time
she was this happy!
She didn't want to wake her baby, but she wanted to hold him so much. To her surprise he drowsily opened his eyes and when he saw his mother he smiled and cooed at her with love. Kyli didn't waste her time and quickly picked him up. He was so light still. He was only a few months old, and keeping Kyli up at night still! But she didn't mind one bit. She never thought she was going to have any babies, and here was this miracle in her arms. She never wanted to let this little baby go. Kyli didn't realize how much love she could possible have for another living being until she had her son. The pain of childbirth was well worth this little bundle of joy! Kyli had even retired from being a Paladin. Her sister understood of course. She knew that her new responsibilities far outweighed that of fighting for the Horde or even House Sunfire. Kyli had made Biara the sole scion of the House just like she was with House Dayfire.
Kyli decided to go back to her bedroom to Andi. He slowly stirred as she walked in and he rubbed his eyes and smiled as he saw his love and his son come into the room. So much love. They had been through so much in their time together so now they relished in just being happy. Nothing could possibly ruin what they had together. Kyli climbed in bed, and Andi put his arms around her and they stared down at their son together. Kyli began to cry.
"My love, what is wrong?" Andithiel asked.
"Oh nothing at all Andi." Kyli started. "I'm just so happy to have you both in my life. I never thought I could have children....after what happened, and now look at us. I'm not even fighting anymore. I never thought I could be happy not fighting, and I am the happiest I think I could ever be! Andi, these are happy tears, believe me. You and our son have made me the happiest I could ever be!"
He leaned in and kissed her and then kissed their son on the forehead.Everything seemed perfect. Then suddenly a change came over Andi. Something dark, his expression changed and his eyes turned cold. Kyli looked at him confused.
"Andi, are you alright? You seem mad...." Kyli started.
"Of course I am mad, Kyli." He said. "This isn't our baby. This is MY baby, not yours!"
Kyliska started dumbly at her love. What was he saying? This couldn't be true! He was trying to hurt her for some strange reason. He was speaking nonsense!
"But Andi....what are you talking about? This is my son, OUR son. Why would you say such things?" she asked.
"Because it is true. After what Seluna did to you, stealing our child, you were not able to have children ever again, don't you remember? I had to go elsewhere and have a child since you could not give me one." Andi said coldly, all the love in his eyes gone.
Kyli started to cry. She couldn't believe what Andi was saying to her. How could he say these things? He was acting like he didn't even love her anymore! Her heart was slowly breaking as she realized what he was saying was true. She looked down at what she thought was her son, and then realized he looked nothing like her. She knew in her heart, this was NOT her son. She quietly handed the baby to Andi with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Andi, I am so sorry. I just thought....don't you love me anymore?" she pleaded with him.
"Kyli, I did love you, but not anymore. I am in love with someone else. I'm sorry." he said with no emotion in his voice. Like it didn't even phase him that he fell out of love with her. Was it because she could no longer give him children? He was after all the one that really wanted the baby in the first place, she didn't. Maybe he resented her for that. Maybe he blamed her for losing their baby.
Andithiel slowly got up out of their bed with the baby. For a second, there was a hint of that love in his eyes that he had for her. But almost as soon as it came it was gone. He left the room, and left Kyli all alone. She reached down to touch her stomach. The stomach that would never bear children. She felt the scar that was still there, and just felt total and utter despair. How could anyone love her? The overwhelming feelings of sadness and despair made her have trouble breathing. She felt as if she was dying. Then everything went black.Kyli awoke with a start. She had to get a grasp of her surroundings. Where was she? She realized she was in a tent, in Pandaria. She was not with Andi, and there was no baby. Her cheeks were wet with her tears. The feelings were as real as her dream was. She was awake now, but still she felt the feelings of sadness and despair. She tried to shake her head to shake the feelings away but it was no use. She knew it was this Sha energy that was messing with her mind, but it was so hard to stop it. The longer she stayed in Pandaria, the worse the feelings got, and the harder they were to push away. The Sha preyed on those feelings. They knew her deepest fears, and preyed on them.
Kyli realized that she had her hand resting on her stomach, just like in her dream. She lightly felt along the scar that she had as a constant reminder that her baby was stolen from her. Instead of anger which she should be feeling she just felt sadness. She laid back down and tried to close her eyes. What if Andi really did resent her for not being able to give him children? Maybe he DID blame her. He would never admit that to her, he was too kind. But he might still be feeling that. Kyli began to cry silently and prayed that she would have a dreamless sleep this time....
