Bound of Destiny with Wolves
The Goddess of Water

A strong wind becomes a good friend for the rain that falls. The occasional lightning strike made the atmosphere of the night too gripping.

In a hut in the woods, a woman is groaning in pain, struggling between her hides and dying to give birth to a baby that is the fruit of her love with her husband.

“Defend your majesty, a little more your baby will be born.” Doroti said 25 years ago.

He let Clara, the Goddess of Water, hold on to his tightly held hand. While Tristan looked confused to see his wife in pain but could not help him. He took a lot of cloth to wipe the blood pooling around Clara.

“Hold dear, hang on.” Her speech. Several times he changed Clara's base cloth but again, it was wet and full of blood.

Clara sighed deeply in between her increasingly short and weak breaths.

“Aaarrrrkkkhhhhh!!!!” She screamed loudly to push the baby out until what was heard later was the sound of a very loud baby cry.

“Your baby is a woman, your highness.” Doroti smiled with relief.

He immediately took the baby and wrapped it in a white cloth. He cleans the baby's body is still red slowly. The beautiful brown-eyed baby belonged to the father.

"She is very beautiful, your majesty." Doroti gave the baby to Clara.

Clara carried him carefully and looked at the crying baby.

“Ssttt. Mom is here.” He said softly while dipping and cradling slowly the baby to calm him.

“He is very similar to you.” Clara, who showed Tristan the baby.

Tristan immediately approached and looked at the baby. It's his greatest happiness to have a child with the woman he loves so much.

Not to forget he kissed the head of Clara with affection, as a form of thanks.

“Didn't you already prepare a name for her?” Tristan asked with teary eyes. Sometimes he hisses to calm his daughter who is still crying.

“Thea. I named her Thea.” Said Clara with her warm gaze.

When Thea's cries stopped, she smiled at her mother as if Clara had called her lovingly.

“Your highness, look what the princess did.” Point Doroti at the rain patter outside their hut.

Rain water hangs, urung drips and air blows as if stopped. The blood dripping from Clarapun's bed stopped.

“He inherited my strength.” Clara said worriedly.

“What happened? Is there a problem if our daughter inherits your powers?” Seeing Clara's expression change all of a sudden, Tristan went into a panic.

“Because she is a girl, she will only survive until the age of 10 years time in this world. He will also be hunted down by Godland's damned inhabitants, as his power will be able to destroy any spell. He will attract the attention of many humans with his powerful aura and of course, he will become the greatest enemy of the ruling king of the four clans in existence.” Claras brightly lit up with teary eyes and then the globules dripped down Thea's cheeks.

Just like her, Thea's destiny will always be opposite to that of the reigning king.

Thea came back crying very loudly, like she could feel her mother's heartbreak. At the same time, it rained heavily, the wind blew very fast and lightning struck each other non-stop.

Clara hugged her daughter's tiny body tightly, like she was so afraid of losing her newly born daughter.

“Honey, then what should we do?” Tristan was confused to see these two women crying.

Clara shakes. “There is nothing we can do other than tie his aura.” Clara said in despair.

“Alright! Let's do it!” Like getting a big chance, Tristan immediately agreed.

“What do you mean sir? You want your majesty to die in vain?” Doroti barked not accept.

“What do you mean? I didn't ask Clara to die in vain.” Reply Tristan who barked.

“But by tying the aura of the princess, it means that the noble one must sever his veins and unite them with the veins of the princess lord. And that means, who started going,..”

“Quite Doroti, you talk too much!” Clara snapped in annoyance. He looked at Doroti sharply, according to him this servant was too presumptuous.

“Ampuni noble servant.” Doroti bowed obediently before Clara.

“Then, don't do it. I can't see you go Clara.” Tristan immediately changed his decision.

“Then do you mean we'll let our daughter in the hunt for the rest of her life?"

“Sial! But I can't let you go Clara! How will my life and our daughter be if you leave?”

“Then do you have the heart to kill our own child?!” Thea barked back. His feelings are no less broken than Tristan's feelings.

Tristan fell to his knees with a puzzled face upon hearing Clara's question. His face turned pale as if he was seeing death before the two women he loved. He couldn't possibly choose one because he couldn't lose one of these two precious lives.

“Trust Tristan, though I must go, but I will always be in your hearts. In your spirit of life, like flowing water, you will always be my mouth.” Clara said as she sobbed.

Suddenly, the wind was getting stronger. There were many shadows that were like surrounding their hut and were about to enter.

“They are starting to feel the whereabouts of our daughter. We don't have much time Tristan. We have to do it now.” Clara said in a hurry. With her weak body, Clara tried to get up from her bed.

“What do you mean Clara. We haven't decided anything.” Tristan immediately restrains Clara's hand but Clara quickly flicks him off.

“They are getting closer and will probably take our daughter. I can't let it.” The panicked Clara immediately laid Thea's tiny body on a table while she took the knife she pointed at the vein in her left arm.

“Yes noble, I beg you not to do this.” Doroti immediately held him back but Clara flicked him until the woman bounced away.

With her power, Clara fortifies him and Thea with a powerful round of water. Tristan and Doroti both try to get closer but their bodies always bounce. They could only see from a distance what Clara had decided. Seeing a mother's sacrifice for the child she loved so much.

“Thea my daughter, I bind your aura and destiny with my veins. Your destiny will open when you meet your true destiny. Trust me, I love you.” Said Clara who scratched her veins with a sharp knife.

Clara's blood dripped over Thea's body, which was still red. The baby did not cry in the slightest as he prepared to pick up the fate his mother had set.

Clara smiled at her beautiful and adorable little baby. His tears kept dripping as a form of farewell to the little princess he just gave birth to.

Slowly but surely, a glittering light shone on the hut as Clara drew her own veins. Despite the pain, he continued what he had started. He wrapped the vein in Thea's left leg. Between the knots he made, he slipped a blue stone that was a sign of Tristan's love for him.

The vein binds Thea's left arm together with the precious stone Tristan gave her. The circular bracelet on Thea's left wrist, now began to fuse with her body.

Clara looked at the baby with an unknown feeling. He grabbed the body of a tiny baby crying in his place and he carried it and hugged it tightly. Clara hiccupped with her deep cries as she kissed the tiny hand that held her index finger.

Slowly the round of water covering the bodies of the two began to faint. Clara began to weaken and drops of blood from her left wrist began to stop.

“BRUG!” The woman fell in her place while holding Thea.

“CLARA!!” New Tristan could approach.

Clara who was already weak, could only smile a little. His face was pale with sweat dots on his face.

“Please take care of our daughter. Don't let anyone hurt him.” Clara said trembling. She gave Thea to her husband who was sitting next to her.

“I can't. I can't take care of this kid without you Clara.” Tristan with her tears unraveling, looked at Thea and Clara alternately.

“No. You definitely can. You will be a great father to our son.” Clara's trembling hands clasped Tristan's bloodied hands.

“Don't tell me who I am. He knew enough that I loved him very much. Hem?” Pinta Clara really.

He rubbed Thea's head, making her brunette covered with her mother's blood. In his kiss Thea's head was long enough and the baby could only cry.

“Akh,..” Clara grimaced softly as slowly the strength in her body began to dissipate.

“Clara, survive!” Tristan is panicking.

One hand held Thea while the other held Clara's weak hand.

“I can't survive.” Clara fell weakly on Tristan's lap, her eyes looking at Thea lovingly.

Tristan could only cry as he held a hug in both hands.

Slowly, Clara's tears stopped. Little by little his strength gradually disappeared from the tip of his foot towards the tip of his head. Her body was drying and now only a pair of eyes were looking at Tristan expectantly.

“Please promise me to always take good care of our daughter.” Clara's words were barely heard.

“No, no,TIDAAAKKKKKKKK!!!!!” tristan shouted as then the bluish eyes closed perfectly.

The rain stopped and all that was left now was Clara's shriveled body as the water energy in her body was completely gone.
