Hardships
It's been a day since Feyiv and Elara had to be operated on the moment Zarkon took her back to the ship. Now back home on Daibazaal, she laid in the Intensive Care Unit of the palace medbay. Ulaz was giving Zarkon the details of her condition.
"The debris grazed her vital organs, she lost so much blood that her chances of survival are 50/50. Her heart rate keeps dropping and rising. She fighting more than she can handle. If she doesn't get better, we'll be left no other choice but to pull the plug." Ulaz said sadly.
"What? There is absolutely no way in hell I'm letting her die!" Zarkon snapped.
"I am sorry but she's fighting for life Zarkon. She can't fight forever." Ulaz said bluntly.
"Well try harder! I refuse to let my wife die!" Zarkon growled and stormed out to his study to cool down.
Elara groaned in discomfort in her slumber and Ulaz turned his attention to her. The poor woman was fighting for her life with everything she had in her.
Zarkon was at the end of his rope. Everything bad happens to her. She had two miscarriages, went into a coma after a complicated pregnancy, and suffered during the birth of their youngest child. Now she's on the brink of losing her life again.
He sat in his study wondering why everything happens to her. His mother suddenly entered the room.
"How is she?" Athena asked and sat in front of him.
All he did was sigh and shake his head slowly.
"If I lose her... It will only prove how cruel life is." Zarkon muttered.
"I know it only been a week since your father passed away. It was hard for you and I both. When didn't do anything to lose him, the gods simply wanted him home and-"
"But mother she's only 40 years old. It's not her time. She isn't ready to go." Zarkon said.
"She may be young but age is just a number when it comes to things like this. Tell me Zarkon... Is it not her time or are you afraid of being without her?" Athena asked.
"Both. Other than you and my children. She is my whole world. I can not bare to lose her mere days after losing my father." Zarkon said clearly hurt and frustrated by the entire situation.
"Zarkon... You're not going to lose her. She's strong. She will make it." Athena said.
"I hope so. If she goes... I have nothing."
