The Allure of Wanton Cove: Conceive.

In the last few years, I have received a lot of fan mail, I've received occasional art, and every once in a while a fan will write a little short story that they choose to send my way.  The only down side to all of this is that many of these people prefer that I not share their creations.

This morning I was greeted by a short story in my inbox, one that I enjoyed quite a bit.  When I started to read it, my initial thought was that the person had copy/pasted a bit of story to point me toward a bug or error in the game and I was wracking my mind trying to think of which scene it was.  I was almost half way through reading it when I realized that it wasn't actually part of the game but was instead a short story.

I quickly offered the writer my thanks and asked if it was ok to share it with the community as a whole and then gave their blessing.  

A very big "Thank you" to a fan who has been with is for a long time now, Auril.

I hope that you all enjoy the short story as much as I did.

Struggling  my way up the familiar path towards the Morichi mansion, a familiar and  unwelcoming cold wind pulls at my coat, I pull it close and tighten the  waistband, almost immediately regretting the discomfort it causes.  Without warning, a heavy gust of wind knocks me off balance, causing me  to stumble, already struggling with my step, I almost fall to a knee  before continuing towards the manor  

Finally making it to the final steps, my knuckles hammers the front  doors once more, a familiar creaking and the ancient wooden door opens,  the same servant, even though I feel as if he's even larger than the  first time I met him.  A natural thought as I'm no longer who I was back then, his eyes linger  on me, for the first his expression seems surprised.  Either way he  motions for me to follow.  

A familiar voice uttering "Miss Breton, what a pleasant surprise, what  brings you back to the Cove?" His eyes flashes with obvious interest as they settle on my "new"  figure, and the fact that my trench coat looks like it's having trouble  covering my swollen waistline  Crossing my arms, 

I can't help but frown. "You probably realize why I'm back, first time we met. You told me Azumi  couldn't have kids! I thought it was safe...... Guess what, it  wasn't...."  "Aah! 

*Morichi waves his hand dismissively   "You obviously weren't  paying attention, I said... She wasn't able to -conceive- .  I.. would  have imagined you were responsible enough to.... be careful, daily  visits for over two weeks, what were you expecting?"  

"Not three!" I shout.
