Natsuki: (rubbing her head) Ouch, what just happened? Where am I? Elara: (extends a hand to help Natsuki up) Welcome to Telogrus Rift. I apologize for the sudden crash, but it seems our portals are rather unpredictable. Natsuki: Telogrus Rift? I've never heard of this place. And who are you? Elara: I am Elara, a void elf. We are the only inhabitants of this rift. But let me take you to a safer spot. There's a cave nearby where we're having a baby shower for my friend, Kaelith. You're welcome to join us. Natsuki: A baby shower? That sounds lovely. Lead the way, Elara. (Elara guides Natsuki through the winding paths of the rift, eventually reaching a hidden cave entrance. Inside, vibrant decorations adorn the walls, and void elf couples chat and laugh.) Elara: (smiling) Here we are, Natsuki. Welcome to Kaelith's baby shower. Natsuki: (looking around in awe) Wow, this place is amazing. I've never seen anything like it. Elara: That's the beauty of the void elf culture. We embrace the mysteries of the Void and celebrate life in unique ways. (Suddenly, a familiar face catches Natsuki's attention. Kaelith, a radiant void elf, is surrounded by friends, all of them glowing with excitement.) Natsuki: Elara, is that Kaelith? She looks stunningly beautiful. Elara: Yes, that's her. She's not just expecting one child; void elf pregnancies always result in multiples. It's a unique aspect of our race. Natsuki: (wide-eyed) Multiples? That's incredible! (As Natsuki watches Kaelith mingle with her guests, her mind drifts into a vivid flashback, taking her back in time to when Kaelith's pregnancy journey began.) --- (Flashback: Kaelith's home, Telogrus Rift - several months ago) Kaelith: (hands resting on her slightly swollen belly) I can't believe it, Elara. I'm going to have a child. Or maybe even more! Elara: (placing a comforting hand on Kaelith's shoulder) It's a blessing, Kaelith. Your connection to the Void brings forth new life in the most extraordinary way. You will be an incredible mother. Kaelith: (smiling softly) Thank you, Elara. It's both thrilling and overwhelming. I want to ensure I provide the best for them, even before they arrive. Elara: That's why we're here, Kaelith. Your friends and I will support you every step of the way. And today, we celebrate the joy and anticipation of your upcoming blessings. --- (Natsuki slowly returns from her flashback, a content smile on her face.) Natsuki: (whispering to herself) What an incredible journey Kaelith has been on. I'm grateful to be a witness to such beauty and unity among the void elves.
