“Almost there,” the conductor of ceremonies encouraged me.
With another wave of pain, the demon was ejected from my loins. It wailed as the liquid of life was wiped from its frail body.
The conductor of ceremonies held it high above her head for all the witnesses to see.
“Behold, the fruit of our latest fertility spell,” she declared. “It is a boy!”
