Khell was first relieved to hear this would be the last egg, but was immediately dismayed when he heard it would be the largest by far. He made a rasping sound in acknowledgement. Indeed, his voice was gone now. He screamed his throat raw. His limbs were weak, his body entirely exhausted after hours of intense labor. The only thing holding him up was the strength of the mantis. His navel still throbbed, hot and painful to the touch. How it wasn't ravaged beyond repair, he had no idea. If Embersould nectar could heal it the same way it healed his jaw, then he'd be in great luck.

The Zioruta could have cried tears of joy when the mantis offered its nectar. Khell couldn't get enough of it. He was desperate for its healing properties. Anything to lessen the pain. His womb was nearly empty, so he filled himself with nectar. Gurgling and sloshing sounds echoed from his huge belly. Khell prayed the golden liquid would make the last egg pass with ease. But he wouldn't be so lucky.

Khell arched his back while his muscles quivered. The egg rolled forward, his belly quaking with the effort, but nothing seemed to budge. A few seconds later, his engorged, bruised bellybutton heaved. Khell grabbed weakly at his stomach. Already, this was more difficult than the larger eggs he birthed. He pushed, forcing nectar from his navel, but no sign of the egg. After almost twenty minutes, the broad side of the queen egg was barely any closer to being birthed. Poor Khell's bellybutton bulged and heaved. Tears streaked his face. He turned his head towards Embersoul with his mouth open, begging silently for more nectar.
