Pippa hears someone come to the door and sees boreas... but in the knightly armor.
"Zephyr has brought another lost traveler to us it seems. Welcome. You have nothing to fear here. Me and my fellow knight mean you no harm. There is food and shelter and warmth waiting inside."
Pippa knows that place could be not at all like it seems to be, but until she clears pregnancy, she wants to stay away from trouble, so she tries to play along
He takes pippa inside and Pippa finds a welcoming livable arrangement; a knight that looks like Ostea is making stew in a pot. there seems to be a small courtyard behind the door, but Pippa gets sat down on a table
"you must be hungry. here, have some food. then i shall show you the guest quarters."
after the meal Pippa is brought to a simple room with nothing but a wodden bed, a chair and a table. She passed a few other identical rooms and one that looked like a cell, having a thick oak door with metal fittings.
"You are well installed here. Do you have often troublemakers?"
"Only one. A creature consumed by darkness. Her soul is lost, she is in the cell, barely alive."
"that's sound terrible"
"She is a servant of darkness after all. She has traded her soul for power and now she is lost. There is nothing to do for her other than wait for the inevitable and prayer."
Pippa nods and continues walking
She is brought to some small room
"Rest for now. You can join us later in the shrine."
As she wakes up later Pippa hears chanting coming from a chapel she passed earlier on their way. Pippa has no idea how early or late it is
she can feel some movement in her bowls that is not her own, it seems the time to give birth is once more upon her
grunting Pippa gets out of bed, and trying to go get help following the chants
She find Ostea and Boreas praying in the chapel, kneeling on the ground before an altar.
clenching her teeth to get over the pain, Pippa try to wait for a pause in the chants, or that they notice her
somehow they notice pippa while praying and stop to help her
"What is your affliction? Is it time to bear?"
"yes, i think it's due time. Please, help me"
