Arin's POV
All at once, the time magic struck, and all of a sudden, I could hear my babies conversing in my mind.
A sweet voice whispered in my mind, "Mama, don't be scared."
We will now defend you.
Another little voice added, "And everyone else too. Our family cannot be harmed by a bad lady."
Silver and gold light burst from my stomach, and I gasped. Although the cave trembled and rocks dropped from the ceiling, no one was harmed. Rather, the light enveloped each individual like a cozy embrace.
With her dark daughters shielding their eyes, Queen Althara staggered backward. She cried out, "What is this power?"
My twins telepathically informed me, "We're Hope and Faith."
Mama, we picked our own names. Faith possesses the silver light, while Hope possesses the gold.
I started crying. Even before they were born, my babies were communicating with me.
Then, however, a different contraction struck. It was painless. Rather, it was like unadulterated love coursing through my body.
