The death of a phantom

The words Sigrid said were absurd. How could a woman that was giving birth hold the baby in? This was like the need to pee, if the desire was there, it could not be stopped. You could hold it in for a while but eventually it would burst like a dam. These were Lady Iryne's thoughts. 

Mauve fed the pregnant woman a tonic that reduced almost all of her pain and killed her screaming. "Keep screaming." she told her. 

Mrs. Cravelle, the wife of a mage hunter, Billiam Cravelle who was always venturing into the Mystwood grove could not have been more confused. She had been brought here by her husband.

The only task given to her was to have a baby. Suddenly she was not supposed to have the baby anymore! What was going on? And why did they need the phantom mage when she was having no problems giving birth even without a midwife.
