Roy and his men arrive on the field.
Their were a lot of bandits, but this was not the first time Roy had faced bandits, and he was confident he could win fairly easily. But he didn't want to rush in with Lilina, so he kept to the back, while staying near her. He was fighting well enough, but Lilina seemeed to have diffaculty balancing, and was therefore having trouble on casting some of her spells. Roy had to rush in and save her once or twice.
"Hey! Be careful Lilina"
"Errrm sorry Roy".
Roy noticed she was looking a bit ill and struggling harder to keep her balance.
"Lilina are you feelin ok?'
"I..I'll manage."
In that moment, Roy had let his gaurd down, and a bandit berserker rushed in. Roy narrowly blocked the blow with his sword, but the bandit followed up with several sucsessive strikes. Roy struggled to block each one and was pushed back Roy was gettting worried for a second, when a large burst of fire whooshed past Roy and hit the berserker, throwing him back and badly schoring him. Roy quickly rushed in for the finishing strike.
Roy turned around. Lilinia smiled and waved to him.
"Thanks, Lil I owe you one".
Lilinia suddeny clutched her stomach and leaned over. Roy ran to her. Their were few bandits left, so they were in no real danger.
"Oh no, its not happening agian is it?"
Lilina gave a nod, and Roy insitnictively steppeed back. Lilina staggered forward a bit, and Roy watched as she slowly grew taller and taller, until his head came just below her chest. Agian she looked a little older.
Roy looked surprised, and looking agian Liliana noticed Roy was blushing furiously.
"Whats wrong?"
Roy said nothing, and pointed, sheepisly lowering his head.
"OH!" Lilina noticed a larger part of her clevage was exposed. She quickly fixed it.
Roy regained his composure.
"Uhh, what are we going to do now? Its going to be hard to pass this off as a normal growth spurt"
Lil frowned. "W-wait maybe I can find a way to fix it"
"Ok, the others will finish up soon, lets just get you back to your room. If anyone asks, we'll say your sick"
Lil nodded, and Roy led her away.
The rest of the army had little trouble finishing up.
Roy met the others back at the army camp.
"Where's Lilina?" Marcus asked
"Oh.. shes.. ill. Yeah. Shes resting in her room. Don't disturb her I'll bring some food up to her later"
"Hmmm" Marcus looked suspicious but let the matter pass.
After congratulating everyone and chatting, Roy brought some food up to Lilina while everyone else was eating.
"Here you go"
"Thank you."
Roy watched as Liliana quickly ate through her meal. She normally had a small apatite and ate slowly, so Roy was pretty surprised.
"Erm.. can I have some more... I'm still hungry" her stomach growled " I think I need a larger portion".
Roy brought her up another plate which she ate through almost as quickly. Lilina held up the plate and frowned
"Woah you must be a gr-" He stopped himself when he saw Lilina frowning more.
It took several more portions before she was full and Roy was having to sneak food out of the kitchen to avoid raising suspcion.
Later Lilina lay alone in her room. She was looking up at the ceiling thinking.
(Whats happening to me? I ate so much food.... I ate more than a fully grown man. Whats going to happen to me? I hope I can find a way to cure this soon....).
She lay there, tossing and turning but eventually she drifted off to sleep
She awoke with a startle. The bed had broken under her weight. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
