Chapter 5

There were signs that the something wasn't quite right from the beginning of the
fela's pregnancy. She began to show far earlier than most and the cramping and
discomfort was considerably higher than it should be. She went into labour several
weeks early and it's said that most of the swamp could hear her screams of pain.
Within moments of passing the child from her she was bleeding to death. She looked
at Izholuk and said: "This is just as I saw in my visions while I was sick. A bad
moon rises over our people." And with that she was gone.

It all happened so fast Izholuk was too shocked to properly react. He looked down at
his first born son and saw a horribly disfigured creature, crying loudly and covered
in the blood of his mother. The large mishapen head had most likely caused most of
the damage. Taking in a large breath of air and calling for the aid of the Ancients
he stumbled from his tent to find most of his camp standing in awed silence. In a haze
Izholuk walked past them, as he heard the screams of the first fela to walk into the
tent behind him he quickened his pace. Down the path and around the first corner he
found the now imprisoned slave of Draclivis and he tore into him with a furious rage.
When he was done the prisoner looked worse than the remains of his wife.

From there it's that Izholuk wandered from the swamp into the jungle, going toward the
Temple of the Ancients. He was never seen again and the Tul'vharun were never the same
for each fela to produce after gave birth to an equally disfigured child.
