Wake up sore

You wake up in your soft bed. Your whole body akes and you see the wound on your leg had been bandaged.

"Aurora, thank the gods you are alright. Whisper told me what happened. Simply awful." Sofia informed you. "Your leg is really bad, you will be stuck in bed for a few days. I will have court business brought up to you." Throughout the week she brings you the most pressing matters but solves the more trivial ones her self. She does, however, show her ignorance having lived in a castle all her life and some of the decisions she made caused things to escalate to the point that you had to solve them from your bed. However, you were happy for something to do.

There were rumours that reached your ears that people had spotted strange creatures or odd people. Having seen their new King/Queen be revealed as half-dragon it people was more accepting of the possibility of species other than Humans living in the kingdom. There had always been Dwarves, Elves, Centaurs, Sphinx, Mermaids and other races around but they lived elsewhere. However, with your parents being revealed to be the Human King and Dragon Perscitia; the prevailing theory was that these Beast people were the result of Bestiality happening in the haunted and royally protected Whispering Wood. To keep Whisper safe you tried to encourage this rumour as to reveal the curse would bring up questions on who cursed them.

Your bedridden week goes by, The two seedlings that Whisper had left in your charge are brought to visit you. Just like their pregnancy, their development was faster than that of humans; they quickly became toddlers. They had become more human or at least more dragon/human-like, Sofia had clothed their naked bodies. They had clawed feet and scales. Dryads need forests to live and grow even when being raised by there human/ Dragonborn parent. You had no forest in your castle and the forest around the castle already belonged to and was tended by their mother. You did however had a small orchard and vegetable patch that had provided Sofia and you with fresh fruit and vedge for your life in the castle and would continue to provide. You use to have to wait and grow what was in season but with your seedlings around the plants seem to bare fruit all the time and grow unusually large. In your time before becoming a knight; whiles you were proving your self and becoming popular with the people; you had heard tails of farmers with unusual children whose crops were always plentiful. This seemed to track with Whisper's way. Your seedlings are already independent despite being essentially toddlers and only a week old. The girl had started to call her self Apple Blossom and had grown the flowers into her body/clothing. The boy had called himself Gard, short for Garden but also the Guardian of the Garden. Emulating your Guards he had formed his scaly bark to resemble armour. They were still playing and having fun like children dressing up and pretending to be adults doing what they think adults do for their jobs. You long to be able to walk down to the Garden and play with them.

In this time Sofia's body started to show a slight bump. Marla informs you that she is late and most likely pregnang. You eventually feel good enough to get out of bed.
