CH152: BLOOD MUTANT DEBUT (PART 3)

[A few days passed.]

The mating ritual between Grim and his mate, Huntress (or Helda), has concluded with Helda being filled with seed. According to Granian custom, she was to endure and put her body through intense physical, mental, spiritual, and psychological conditions for the period of her gestation, which was six months. This custom was believed to strengthen the blood of the female Granian and ensure that she would give birth to a strong, future Granian leader. After all, Grim's mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and those ahead of her had observed this tradition for over millions of Granian years.

At the moment, Helda was in a dry, semi-arid location with the five humans by her side. Lord Grim was with her, although his attention was more on the humans than his bride.
