Chapter 4 - Nisha Whispers

Raine spent a lot of his time thinking about the government of the Boiling Isles, The Emperors Coven, their control over the Boiling isles was strong. Anyone they deemed unfit in their society was outcasted, making life for them hard, and simply refusing to join a coven landed them the title of a criminal. Raine was in his tree house, pacing back and forth, "Why is everyone made to join a coven, and why brand them a criminal if they don't?" said Raine. He let out a sigh as he opened the doors to his balcony, as he stepped outside, he looked at the Bard Covens Headquarters, where he saw the Bard Coven Banner, at the top of the banner was the covens sigil. "Is that it? The Coven Sigils seal other magic not related to the coven, could it really just be to control magic on the isles?" pondered Raine when a memory popped up in his mind. It was a projection of Emperor Belo's that was casted over every town in the Boiling Isles that took place when he first ascended his throne, Raine had seen this on his crystal ball due to not being born yet. "People of the Boiling Isles, today as I ascend the throne as emperor, I have heard the teachings of the Titan, and shall enforce his will, he speaks of the dangers of Wild Magic, dangerous magic that brings forth only destruction, I myself, and my family have fallen victim of this. It was this that allowed me to hear the Titan, his teachings have shared with me what I must do to unite his people. On this day forth, Wild Magic will be banned and everyone will come under the Coven System, the Titans Will shall bring forth unity unto the Boiling Isles as the nine types of magic will form nine covens. Joining a coven will restrict you to only the magic of that coven, but fret not, for this will bring peace and protect use from the dangers of Wild magic", declared the Emperor as he raised his staff, forming a circle with the sigils of the nine main covens, "Those who have the potential to be the best shall gather under the Emperors Coven, a coven who brings forth the Titans Will, they will have access to all nine types of magic to ensure those who pose a threat to the peace shall be brought forth to justice" as Belos said this last part, in the center of the circle the sigil of the Emperors Coven appeared. The memory ended with a squad of witches in the Emperor Coven attires appearing in the projection and shooting forth powerful magic with the colors of the nine magic types into the air.

Raine had enough with these thoughts and flew to the Bard Covens head witch's office, Raine knocked on Scooter's office door and was let in. "Raine, what can I do for you?" asked Scooter Crane who was going through a stack of papers, "Why does every witch have to join a coven?" asked Raine directly. Scooter put the papers he was reading down and looked Raine in the eyes, "That's a dangerous question my apprentice, can I ask why you're asking?" said Scooter with an oddly straight face, Raine tried to retained a straight face, "I was just curious because it's a law that is enforced quite strictly" said Raine. Scooter looked at Raine for a minute, earning a droplet of sweat rolling down Raines face, "Ah yes, it's too make sure peace is maintained" said Raine who smiled. Raines shoulders dropped, relieved as to how well that went, "Ah yes, my apprentice, I have been working on a new song and want you to review it, it might come in handy for you" said Scooter as he pulled out a page of sheet music and passing it to Raine who accepted it. "It's a song that focuses on conjuring a storm, I call it Tormentor's winds" said Scooter, Raine was quite taken aback as this was not how he expected this to go, and his mentor's unusually happy face at the intimidating name of the song. Not wanting to push his luck, "Well if that's it I'll be going now" said Raine, Scooter picked up the dropped papers from his desk and without looking at Raine, "Take it easy my apprentice, do try out the song", Raine left back to his tree house. When he got back, deciding that continuing the subject of the covens was an unhealthy idea, Raine pulled out the sheet music from his pocket, "Tormentor's winds huh", Raine looked over the notes and conjured Fiddlestick in her viola form and played the song, it was fast paced with extended notes, it took a couple of tries but eventually Raine got it down, using a little bit of his magic, Raine was surprised to find that a strong current of wind had formed around his tree house, "This, this is impressive, I haven't even put in that much magic" Raine stopped playing and after a couple minutes the storm slowly dissipated, Raine noticed that he could easily influence the winds conjured by his magic with whistling. After the mini hurricane dissipated, Raine went to bed for the day.

*Three Months Later*

Raine rushed to the hospital in Bones Borough, he was experiencing contractions, which he had read was the only actual way for males to tell if they were going into labor. As soon as he arrived at the hospital, Fiddlestick took control of flying and rushed him to the emergency room. 

*12 hours later*

Raine woke up, he was put to sleep for the procedure as they had to cut him open, he had read that when a male witch or demon carried a child a magical organ would form but had to be removed when the baby was born, a literal magic baby. Raine woke up disoriented, he looked around the room and noticed a capsule with warmers, he called fiddlestick who was asleep on the couch to staff form and used her as a walking cane, as he approached what was supposed to be a crib, he looked in. A small baby wrapped in blankets, the small potato had hair with Edalyns orange roots when she was younger with mint green highlights, it was a rather bizarre color for hair. As he looked into the crib, a nurse walked in, "Mr. Whispers, congratulations, it's a girl!" exclaimed the black haired witch with droopy ears. "What do you want to name her? We will get the paperwork done as soon as the decision is made. Also you should stay in the hospital for at least a week to recuperate", Raine took one last glance at his daughter before going back to bed. "I think I would like to name her Nisha, Nisha Clawthorne Whispers," said Raine. The nurse had a shocked look but immediately had a smile as she walked off. Raine glanced at the crib, "What will I do now?" said Raine to himself. He pulled up his scroll and sent a text to Eda, 'Hey Eda, I just had a kid, can you come to the hospital?'. He waited an hour but got nothing back, he sighed and eventually went to sleep.

*Author Note: Hello, sorry for the late update but Inkstone wasn't letting me write for the past couple of days, so I worked on Google docs and finally I am able to update. Next Chapter might take a while since I have almost no clue how parenting works, just a rough idea of it.*
