Welcome to Gaia! ::

She watched from the corner of her eye as the weird tape measure wrapped round her tummy, she had never seen anything like it. But was very glad he wasn't getting 'hands on' with everything.

Her eyes opened up instantly once he read out a diagnosis. Deumos knew she put on a little bit of weight, but twenty pounds?! that was insane.. it must of been broken, but that was quickly dismissed once they were read out again. She then let out a massive sigh, laying down flat when Barrener left. "I didn't think he'd leave!" Deumos whispered throwing her arms in the air like she was pleased. "and the whole 'I'm underweight' thing.. I don't think I'm going to listen to that. I just need to bulk up my muscle again.. not pig out.."

Deumos carried on looking up at the sky, not many clouds that day.. almost pretty. "Punch me and hit me all you want then.".. did he really just say that? Deumos quickly dismissed it and shook her head before picking herself up. "No thanks, I make break one of your bones" she smiled smugly.

"Like I said.. I'm not going to pay attention to him.. no offence but I don't care if he is a 'Mentor'.. it doesn't feel right." She then tiptoed towards him, taking his outstretched arms to wrap round her. "Once I'm all buffed up again, I'll help you... probably won't take me long."

(sure.. maybe like 1-2 months maybe?... totally up to you when you want to enforce it (: )

Deumos shrugged at his first question "I really have no idea, but our bodies are tougher then a humans.. to who knows, I'll work something out" she really wanted to lose her slight pudginess, she was really not liking her look right then. Deumos really didn't feel like the seductive woman she once was.

Feeling his touch across her tummy made her blush, but it was hard to see from her complexion. He has never been this touchy, feely with her before, she kind of liked it though. "What children I want?" Thinking on it, she hadn't even thought about the little person growing inside her until he asked. "I think... I'd like a girl.." Deumos answered him, there was a reason for it and a very strong one at that.

Deumos had loved every moment she spent with Argo and was even liking the idea of being a mother now. The little one had only started to wriggle around a few days ago which she would occasionally tell Argo so he could feel if he so wished.

Her body was looking great again, not overly worried about her bump now, it looked rather nice on her frame to her. She would even talk to them from time to time about how brave their dad was and things.

Life couldn't be better for her, the earth way was calm, peaceful and much more friendly in general. Also she got to sleep next to someone very important to her. Over the weeks she hadn't realised that there was no contact between herself and her master. It must to completely slipped her mind.. but today he was full of anger.. sending a sign that they had to speak. The sign was only subtle.. a small glowing of the pendent round her neck not that she noticed yet.

"How are you my love?" she asked Argo, giving his left bicep a squeeze.

She gave his neck a few soft pecks, breathing on his skin gently while he gave her tummy some attention. "We are fine, and by the way.. isn't that your job your spoil little girls?" she teased, moving his hand to a spot were one of the infants was kicking.

Deumos looked down at their hands tangled together, noticing her necklace glowing faintly. What did Ferradur want? Was this it?.. was he going to tell her his plan?.. She had no idea, but had to go and find out. "actually, there was something.. you need a break from us three" Deumos beamed lightly, giving him another kiss, on the lips this time. "So I'll go out and give you a few hours of peace.."

Deumos gave a small sigh of relief that he didn't ask anymore questions. She was actually surprised he didn't. "I can't let him see me in these human clothes" she told herself, taking off her clingy maternity dress. "what am I going to use..?" after tapping her belly to think an idea popped into her head. Deumos practically knew everything in the apartment, always looking in cupboards and things. In the kitchen was a draw that just had random junk in it, but what she wanted specifically was the black tape sitting in there. She used it to wrap round her breasts and 'lady area' mostly in a styled fashion, the rest was left bare.

Taking a peek into the room Argo was in, he still seemed fast asleep, which was a godsend. The loose floor board in there was her next target. Inside contained the potion the master gave her. Water and a strand of demon hair would summon the army of Tirandium. "All you need to do is go to him, tell him the deal is off, give the potion back, come home" seemed simple enough. Just before leaving, Deumos left a sweet kiss on Argo's cheek, whispering; "see you later.."

Thanks to Argo's tough training, she got to the area in a quick time. It was just as pretty as she remembered it, crystal clear water, tiny birds singing to their mates.. it was lovely. Repeating the same process as before, his watery form came into view.

"Deumos my dear, look at you! You've never looked better" the deep voice echoed through the clearing "Although I must say, I prefer it when your waist is a little slimmer. That can't be helped I suppose in your condition"
"cut the crap please... I only came to tell you I don't want to do this anymore" her heart was beating a thousand times a minute, she had to keep a strong face. Holding out the potion in her palm, she continued "I can't do this.. I'm going to be a mother soon and they come first." talking about the two little ones made her hand embrace her tummy with a small rub.
"ahh yes, your two unborn daughters" a smirk flashed within the ripples. "It seems like only yesterday I had to give this bombshell to your own mother"
"What are you talking about?" Deumos barked back in retaliation.
"Oh.. you don't know the story do you. Well, you know that your mother was a demon who ruled beside me, in the role you take today. And you also know you father was a human. I made her choose between a small Deumos growing inside her, and her human lover." he explained in a showing off sort of manner.
"she.... loved him?" hearing all of this made her legs buckle to the ground, she didn't know whether to scream into high heaven or cry. "Why didn't you tell me this!?.. Why did you keep it from me!?"
"Because I didn't want that soft, weak side of your DNA to get any ideas of 'love' and 'passion'...seeing you act like one of them now, has broken my metaphorical heart... you are like a daughter to me Deumos.
"SHUT UP!!!" She screamed, clutching at her stomach protectively "Stop talking! I don't want to hear you say it!" Her hands then slammed themselves over her ears to block out any noise, but it didn't phase Ferradur and carried on.
"You, Deumos Xanyseos. Will raise my army into this world.. if you don't I'll make sure your precious children are born to you without a flicker of a heart beat." his tone of voice was controlling, very much like the leader he so claimed to be. "Your children will be safe, while he and this world burns under our command... think about it, they will be part of a bloodline"
Deumos' eyes teared up with her inky blood, she loved Argo dearly, with every inch of her being and soul. He was the one that showed her life wasn't about tearing things to pieces or burning homes down. But, the thought of losing her two babies felt like a stab to the heart. She didn't want to choose and had no choice.

"You win Master" she told him, raising to her feet and wiping the moisture from her eyes. "I'll.... lead your army..." Deumos couldn't believe what she was saying.. giving in like that. She wasn't in the position to fight him though.
"Very good Deumos, I knew you'd see things my way.. but first, we need to weaken that lover boy of yours... I know for a fact he loves all three or you, even calling you a wife or so I've heard" Deumos didn't even reply to his comment, just nodded. "I need you to fake your death Deumos, not suicide.. that's not painful enough.. I want him to think that you were killed in cold blood." That was low, and cruel.. even for him to say that.
With Deumos not wanting to argue another nod was made "How am I meant to do that?"
"Your blood... maybe a broken horn piece.. messy home.. you know the rest" He smirked, reaching out with his watery hand to cup her cheek. "I know you'll do me proud.. do it while he is away.. and come back when the deed is done" with that his body disintegrated back into the clear pool.....

(if im writing too much for you, then tell me off! haha.. i tend to get into it)

She didn't bother to get home as quick she did to get there. Deumos was repeating the conversation over and over in her head. Each time it only made her stomach feel more rough. She figured the longer she took.. the more likely he will get some rest, he needed it. "Your daddy loves you both.. you know that right?" Deumos sighed as she talked to the two wrigglers inside her.

Eventually she got home, quietly letting herself in so she could hide all the evidence of what she was even doing. A change of clothes, the secret spot for the potion. All of that needed to be done before he woke up... Once it was done she decided to sit on the wooden floor in front of where he now slept. Just staring at him, taking in every detail of his face.

Deumos felt like she couldn't breathe, her lungs didn't want to expand from the shock. "my mentor?.. now why the hell would I talk to him for?.. I've not seen him since I got here" she tried to put on a smile and crawled over to where he sat. Did he hear her mumbling to herself earlier? Did he follow her? every possible question was asked as she thought. So she tried to change the subject, hugging at his legs and nuzzling them "did you sleep okay?"
