Aven gave Hakon a light smile, reaching out and grasping her hand. "A new beginning, Haki." The nurse's hands began to glow, and Hakon would feel a sensation she'd never felt before: her skin mending. It wasn't unpleasant, per say, just…. new.Throughout the procedure, Aven held her hand tightly, reassuring her every step of the way. Questions had already begun to rise in his mind, however, important queries that needed answering. Where was Hakon's Adhara field? It couldn't have gone away, it was part of her very being, was it not? Perhaps… the Void had surpressed it? He couldn't be sure, but he hoped it would be coming back soon.Near at the end of the healing, the nurse's eyebrows knitted, her hand over Hakon's stomach, glancing at Aven. "Sir… this woman is pregnant…!?" She glared at him, a mixture of a look as though she assumed he'd forced her into battle, and fear for the child within Hakon's womb.

Hakon's head quickly snapped up, her eyes widening in shock," What…?" She breathed, her grey-green gaze unfocused with pure surprise. She suddenly felt lightheaded, rather dizzy and allowed herself to sink back into the plush sheets. Her hands folded over her lower belly, her eyebrow knitting as her eyes quickly shut. She was… Pregnant? She tried not to be as shocked as she felt, after thats what happened when a man and a woman… Ah… A rosy blush quickly painted her face. Nonetheless, she shook her head. Her chest burst with joy but… She was worried- they had no idea where they were and what if this world was worse then the last or… Something?

Chewing her bottom lip thoughtfully, she rasped faintly," May I… Ah- speak to my companion alone please?" She begs softly, getting a rather worried look from the Nurse and doctors yet. They heeded her wishes. Hakon waited until the sharp click of the metallic soles faded from the door before she looks to Aven, her eyes wide,"… Aven-" she squeezed his hand," I'm…" she couldn't even finish before breaking into a teary smile.

Aven moved over to the bed, shocked, himself. Hakon was… pregnant. They'd talked about the prospect of having children, naturally, as she was the last… well, she was the last _sane_ member of her family. The idea had never really sunk in, though, a reality which was hitting him extremely hard at the moment. They were in a new world, it seemed, with so many unanswered questions, so much work to do as it was! They weren't nobles there, either, they had no holdings, nor any concrete way to make money as of yet. What would they…?

The questions and doubts began to ebb from his mind as he saw the happiness in Hakon's eyes, tears of joy welling within them. He smiled, leaning in and kissing her deeply. Aven didn't need to be wealthy or influential: as long as he could see that smile on Hakon's face, that was all he could ever want. "…Pregnant. Congratulations, Haki, you're going to be a wonderful mother."

She leans upward into his kiss, holding his hand tenderly before resting back again, exhaling slowly as she closes her eyes," I should find work- before… Before it becomes too difficult," she insists softly, her fingers entertwining with his as she stifles a soft hiss of breath, a small bolt of pain lancing through her and causing her to exhaling heavily.

" I've… Never started from the completely bottom before- will we… Be alright?" She asks softly

Aven nuzzles his forehead against hers. "We'll be fine, Haki. If we really need, I can transmute up some precious metals to sell to get us started." He kisses her lightly on the nose, smiling gently. "Maybe it's better this way, in the first place. We have no obligations, no one to answer to, and best of all…" He presses his forehead against hers once more. "We're on the same side."

It was as if a natural spring of warmth and relief suddenly bubbled up within her. Reaching up with one hand, she carresses his cheek sweetly, lips curling into a loving smile," I trust you. Ah- I want to learn more of this land, of these people. Pavaporah? Is that what this land is called?" She paused and trailed off," My aura- it's gone or… Weak, my love- what happened when we fought the Caster? We HAD it and then… And then-" she trails off and shakes her head slowly to and fro, platinum locks swaying gently in the breeze.

Aven sighed. He knew he' didn't have to explain it eventually, the truth he'd found out from the previous Dark Matter Scion. It was his title and obligation now, but as to how he'd fulfill it, Aven had no clue. "It was the Void. Caster was not only a demonlord, that was simply his coverup of the true evil beneath. He was a Void magus, a user of the most vile force in the universe, even past Dark Matter." He looks down, focusing his thoughts. "You see, Dark Matter is the universe's barrier to Void, which is the epitome on non-existence. Anything swallowed by the Void is erased, body and spirit, and it is constantly bordering the edges of reality. Your Adhara field was undoubtably damaged by contact with it, perhaps even altered, as Void is a terribly corrupting force. So far, though, I cannot sense any Void within you, you should be safe." He relaxes back, keeping hold of her hand. "It's highly possible that this land also has different perameters of magic, so I will need to obtain that information. It would be best to learn as much as we can before setting off."

Nodding faintly at his words, she seemed to get the gist of what he had said. After almost two years of listening to her dearest love's impassioned speeches on Dark Matter and Magic, she had come to eventually undeerstand him more and more. So this, thankfully, was not completely foreign to her though the concept of the Void was. Breathing through her nose, she pursed her lips and bright his hand up to kiss the back of his palm," Yes- it may be good to… Settle down." She murmurs softly, closing her eyes and sighing deeply. Hakon allowed herself to relax with his hand resting against her lips, eyes closed as she murmurs," My love- my love… What now?"

Aven scootched closer on the bed, leaning in, his skin a small tinge of red. "Well, first, I think it's best we find an inn, so we can eat and.. unwind." He nibbled softly on Hakon's earlobe. Indeed, after such an exhausting battle and process I traveling from through the fabric occur time and space, Aven was quite hungry, in more ways than one. "Are you feeling well enough to walk?"

She hesitates before shaking her head gently, sighing weakly," Ah- let me rest, my dear Aven, you can go explore without me. Just don't forget me here, alright?" She chuckles faintly, squeezing his hand before motioning gently for him to shoo. Truthfully, she felt so utterly exhausted her body begged for sleep- maybe it was the shock after mental shock… Or being ripped through time and space- either way, she felt an incredible fatigue upon her entire form that she had not felt ever before.

" Go on, dear, I'll be here."
