Zef stared into the paned window and watched out in to the strange landscape. The creatures didn't have names. They barely spoke to her outside of riddles but they fed her well, provided entertainment and enjoyment. Sometimes they made her angry just so they could feed on the savory meat of anger. She didn't learn anything new about monsters here. Though she did learn more about the device they offered when they stole her son from her. His fate was written in the stars. A god to take down other gods. A deal made by the man who'd fathered him. What the fuck! Who the hell does that, every child knows not to do that. But there was nothing to be done -- and really could she say no if her son was to end the gods -- even if it was in another time?
Her belly grew at a phenomenal rate. Some days it felt like weeks had passed others only days. It was lonely in the strangeness of the place. The garden was beautiful. The company strange when it wasn't being cryptic or annoyingly creepy. But Zef supposed that it could be worse -- she could be pregnant in real time. 9 months of feeling uncomfortable. The nausea had been brief, she couldn't imagine the real world scenario. Maybe it was all for the better.
