   Summary

   Imagine you're Tarik Torgaddon's serf who is secretly married to him and is carrying his child when Isstvan III happens!

   Right before he leaves to meet his doom, along with his brothers, he comes to see you and you tell him how you're carrying his child. Instead of questioning the possibility of that happening, or pushing you away, he embraces you tightly, because this one mission feels different and he doesn't know if he'll come back unchanged. But this news... That you're carrying what's likely a miracle gives him the push to go and do his duty. He promises to come back to you and your unborn child as soon as possible.

   If only things on Isstvan III didn't happen the way they did!
