The cell is cold and damp, the silence broken only by Irene’s ragged breathing. She cradles her swollen stomach, her fingers tracing the contours beneath her prison rags. Grey scales catch the faint torchlight, shimmering across her skin like tarnished armor. Her execution is scheduled for next week, but the magic she wove holds the birth at bay. When her eyes meet yours, a desperate hope flashes through the fear. “P-please,” she rasps, shrinking against the stone wall. “Don’t hurt me or my child.” The draconic seed within her has warped her very being, yet in this moment, she is only a terrified mother.
