THE WATCHERS SEE
He had no experience with delivering a new born but he managed to bring out the child.
She was as beautiful as her mother but something was wrong, the child didn’t cry like all babies do. He thought that she was dead too but her tiny heart was beating though slowly.
The cold was severe and he was sure that she would die if he didn’t find a way to keep her warm. He had no milk and he was sure that she needed food. He looked up and saw the village and wondered how he would get the baby there with life still in her.
Then somehow, his eyes rested on his wife’s body and a wild thought took hold of him.
“She will not die inside you Marynth but she must live inside you” he told his dead wife.
He wrapped the baby up in all the clean clothes he had, sacrificing his as well. He made sure he wife bled out and he took some of the bloodied clothes and placed them inside his wife’s body till he was sure no blood could touch the clothes on top, and then he placed the baby inside his wife’s stomach.
