(In an abandoned woodland mansion…)

[player]: “The Illagers that lived here are either dead or they just moved out.”

(The player walks across the carpets of the abandoned woodland mansion, unsure of what happened to its residents. Just then, they hear something.)

Female Vex (voice): (groans in pain)

[player]: “What the-?! Who’s there?!”

(The player doesn’t hear the voice again.)

[player]: “Is this a mind game…?”

(The player heads to the top floor of the mansion. Once there, they hear the strange voice again - except it sounded more in pain than ever.)

Female Vex (voice): “Help me…AAAAAAHHHH!!!”

[player]: “Are you trapped? Where are you? I’ll try to help!”

(The player frantically searches the entire top floor, looking for the source of the voice. Eventually, they find a hidden door leading to a small chamber.)

[player]: “Is this where you are? Hang on, I’m coming!”

(The player enters the chamber, only to find a female Vex sitting on the floor - her back against the wall. Her wings were folded behind her back, while her stomach was round, swollen, and contracting wildly.)

[player]: “Don’t worry. I’m here. What’s the problem?”

Female Vex: “I-I-I’m in labor! My baby’s coming out right here, right now!”

[player]: “That explains all the pain. But why were you screaming so much?”

Female Vex: “The contractions are intense, and I have never given birth before. I am scared and feeling overwhelmed.”

[player]: “I understand. Labor can be incredibly painful and scary, especially if it’s your first time. But try to stay calm. I’ll stay with you and help you through this.”

(The player approaches the female Vex and gently supports her, offering a reassuring hand.)

[player]: “You’re not alone. I’ll do my best to assist you. Is there anything specific you need?”

Female Vex: “Water… I need water and a soft cloth. It’ll help me cool down and ease the pain.”

(The player quickly grabs some water from a nearby sink and wets a cloth, then gently places it on the female Vex’s forehead.)

[player]: “Here, take slow sips of water. You’re doing great. Just breathe and focus on your baby. We’ll get through this together.”

(The female Vex takes small sips of water, trying to stay hydrated during the labor.)

Female Vex: “Thank you… I never expected someone to come and help me like this. I’m grateful.”

[player]: “No need to thank me. We all need help sometimes, and it’s important to support each other. Now, let’s concentrate on ensuring a safe delivery.”

(The player encourages the female Vex to change positions and find a more comfortable spot. With their guidance, she settles into a position that eases her discomfort.)

[player]: “Remember to take deep breaths and try to relax as much as possible. You’re stronger than you think. Your body knows what to do.”

(The female Vex nods, trying to find strength within herself. As time passes, the player remains by her side, offering words of encouragement and comfort.)

[player]: “I can see the head! Your baby is almost here! Just a little more, and you’ll be holding them in your arms.”

Female Vex: (straining) “I can do this… I can do this…”

(After a few more intense moments, the player and the female Vex hear a baby’s cry filling the chamber.)

[player]: “Congratulations! You did it! You’ve brought a new life into this world.”

(The player gently cleans the newborn Vex and wraps them in a soft cloth before placing them in the arms of their mother.)

[player]: “They’re beautiful. You’ve given them a chance at life, and I’m honored to have been a part of this incredible moment.”

Female Vex: (teary-eyed) “Thank you… I can never repay you for your kindness.”

[player]: “Seeing you and your baby safe and healthy is more than enough. Take care of each other, and may your new journey together be filled with happiness-”

Female Vex: (starting to experience more contractions) “Now comes this little one’s sibling.”
