A Demon is Born

A few days later Melisandre's belly began to swell and you went to see her.

"How can this be?" You asked flabbergasted by the sudden growth of her stomach.

"All will be revealed in due course my prince," Melisandre said holding her heavily pregnant belly with one hand and placing the fingers of her other on your bearded chin.

"Great things will come from you, your flame is stronger than most," She smiled looking deep into your eyes with her own deep red ones. "It is time," She said taking you by the hand.

She guided you down the stairs and out to a little hidden beach.

"The night is dark and full of terrors," She smiled looking out deep across the sea. She led you into a small cave. "I can feel your fire that you have bore into me it grows and it must be set free," The Red Priestess said.

"Strange that our lord of light asks you to work in the shadows," You said still uncertain about what was going on.

"The darker it is the greater our light will burn," Melisandre said dropping her robe and revealing her heavily pregnant body. It had been days not months there was no way that she could be ready to birth yet.

The Red Priestess laid onto her back and spread the legs that only a few days ago had been wrapped around you as you had impregnated her. The light of your torch began to glow greater and greater and Melisandre started to moan in pain.

A black shadow began to emerge from her womanhood like a hand or a claw scraping at the ground to escape its human prison. The shadow clasped at Melisandre's legs as she squealed in agony. The shadow grew a head and screeched. Melisandre's screaming ended as the shadow fully emerged and escaped into the night.

"What in seven hells was that!" You exclaimed finally managing to get words out of your mouth and still confused by the witchcraft you had seen before you.
