Chapter Text
Adara blankly stared out the window of her mother's car at the setting sun, its light bathing the sparse clumps of clouds orange, red, and purple. The car ride was just as quiet as she knew it would be after the court finalized the divorce. Adara's Moirail, a troll with cobalt blood named Anevay Harrse, was attempting to comfort her from his spot in the backseat with gentle paps and kind words as did her mother from the driver's seat.
~Six Months Earlier~
After nearly six hours of labor the baby was out. Adara was exhausted panting as her husband laid passed out in the chair nearby and her Moirail stood, his eyes wide, holding her hand still trying to come to terms with what he just witnessed. She closed her eyes waiting to hear her baby's cry but it never came.
"M-my baby w-why is-" Adara stuttered struggling to sit up as her arms shook with fatigue "why is it not?"
"I'm sorry Mrs. Adara." The nurses says, drawing in a shaky breath "T-the baby didn't make it."
~Present time~
Adara briskly wiped away the stray tears trying not to cry, as she waited for the cup of tea her mother was making. While Anevay held Adara in his lap softly nuzzling her face as he hummed a soft tune. After she had been released from the Hospital her husband had requested for a divorce. "I don't want to be married to a woman who couldn’t have children." His words still ring through her head like a broken record making it even harder to keep the tears at bay.
"Adara?" Anevay whispered, resting his chin on her head "Can I ask you something? Something very dear to me?"
She nodded closing her eyes, leaning back into Anevay's embrace.
"I've been thinking for a long time now. From what I know from human movies on your breaking flush quadrant activities and due to my rank in the Alternian empire and constant requests from my fellow Archeradicators and I will have to leave tomorrow and I can make arrangements whenever is needed so if you.."
Adara sighed looking down at her hands as Anevay rambled on stuck in one of his loops as he would when asking her about something dear to him.
"..So since you know how dear this is. I would like to have the honor of you coming with me to my home planet Alternia?"
"What?" She said, looking at Anevay as he smiled at her
"I-I want you to come with me to Alternia with me........Please?"
