Chapter 175: The Games (VII): Midwife (2/2)
Rezar had no idea if this was going to work, but it did as the scary looking pair of red eyes came to a stop and Rezar was finally able to see what had spoken to him in full light. Five feet of life muscle and mass, with fur the color of ash and a crowning tuft of silvery white fur. The same well proportioned body that was built for power and speed had numerous scars crisscrossing all-over it's frame, but it went beyond just the scars as there were fresh wounds to go along with the scars that was all-over it's body. Rezar had no idea how long his compulsion would keep this Direwolf in place, but with the obvious movements within it's stomach, Rezar didn't want to find out if his compulsion or the pain she was currently feeling had more power over her.
”Relax as much as you can and take deep breaths, I'll try to help you. If I can save your life even though I have no idea what I'm doing, then that's your luck. If I can't save you, then I'll make sure your pup's have a life as good as can be afforded a Direwolf.” The Direwolf in front of him nodded it's head in agreement and brought it's head down, Rezar could hear it gritting and grinding it's canines against each other as if fought through the pain. Rezar had an idea about how to help her, he wasn't sure it would work, but how bad can hypnosis be.
”I need you to lay down on your side, choose an angle that's easier for you to breathe, and I order you! STOP FEELING PAIN!”
[Compulsion!]
The direwolf promptly laid down on it's side with a soft whimper, it's breathing evened out and it seemed to be just relaxing rather than being in the throes and pains of childbirth. But Rezar was not complacent, he knew that even though he could make the direwolf not feel any pain, her own children were still trying to rip her apart from the insides, so it was in his best interest to make sure he helps her deliver her babies without any sort of problem or worry. And it seems his compulsion was a good skill, if not the only skill that could help in the current situation.
”Now gain strength and push!”
[Compulsion have leveled up]
Rezar gave a small smile as he moved his hands closer and placed it on the scared body of the direwolf, he could see that she must have been through countless battles, and while he would have really loved to ask her about it, he doubted she was in the right mood to reminisce about the origins of her numerous scars. He began to run his hands over her belly, softly stroking and massaging it as he placed his lips closer to her stomach.
”I know it's dark and the space is tight and it's downright scary not knowing where you are and what you should do, but I need you to calm down. All of you, the light would be yours soon, life will be yours soon. So listen! Listen to mother, to her warmth, feel it cold and encapsulate you in an embrace of safety and power. That's your mom holding on to you young ones, so don't fight, don't struggle, enjoy it. Because it's only once you can ever get to feel this close to your mother, so many of us will never get such a chance, or we've had it and we've never got to experience it.
Dance with her heartbeat, let it teach you secrets of the ways ancient, let it whisper power and purpose and direction. Let it guide you to my voice and to the light. To life like you've never known it before, to a Kingdom of life just as it is one of death. I can see you, all seven of you. I see your teeth, I see your class and I see your light. Be birthed into this world, be birthed into war and chaos, I Christen you all! LUPUS REGUM! Wolf Kings of the horde!”
[Your compulsion skill has transcended!]
[Your words have created a new race! You will be rewarded]
