Sisu Lays and Egg - Chapter 6
#6 of Sisu Lays and Egg
Sisu could feel she had almost caught up with Namaari when she felt another extremely painful twinge in her stomach. She gasped, instantly loosing concentration on the platform of water she had created under her feet and slipped on it, falling through on her side as it disintegrated under her.
Sisu barely had time to make another platform of rain, catching herself mid-fall before another contraction hit her. She stumbled to the ground, hard but safely, turning to her stomach incredulously. "You have got to be kidding me. Again!?"
Unfortunately, unbeknownst to Sisu earlier, she had really been with twin eggs, the second one had just been taking its time after the first for her to lay it.
Suddenly, the contractions picked up, becoming absolutely unbearable, Sisu gave a guttural cry.
By Kumandra, these things hurt! This one had to be the worst one yet! As she once again began to bear through the labor, Sisu groaned horribly, she could totally feel the angst of it.
And unlike the other eggs, this one wasn't quick, it was like it refused to come. The contractions kept coming, slamming her innards again and again, one after the other; Sisu let out another agonized moan. Yep, this wasn't stopping anytime soon.
As the Sun went down, Sisu continued to moan and groan into the night; She'd never be able to catch up to Namaari now. Pretty inconvenient all this egg laying stuff, Sisu observed to herself excruciatingly. It was in all this pain Sisu decided that femininity was ridiculous. And right now, she did not care who knew. If her femininity was going to keep humiliating her like this, then by golly she was going to have some fun with it.
So, as the pain continued to pummel her innards, she shouted all the embarrassing feminine facts she knew. She made quite a racket that night.
And while she was screaming all this, it just so happened that another dragon was passing by, walking through the forest. Male.
These were not some facts he was ready for to say the least.
But still, he was very curious by it all, so he decided he might as well approach. Besides, she sounded like she was in pain.
"What are you doing?" He asked as he stepped up, concerned.
"Oh, just laying an egg," Sisu said brightly before having another contraction, "OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He felt a little awkward, he knew some dragons laid eggs, but he'd lived under a rock his whole life (actually, he'd been a rock for the past 500 years to be exact) so he really had no idea how it was done, and he'd always been too afraid to ask. But now was as good a time as any, right.
"So, uh, how exactly do you lay eggs again?"
Contractions! Sisu screamed, "My v*****!" Yeah, sure, she could go with that answer.
The newcomers eyes went wide, "And all dragons lay like this?"
"Oh, absolutely," Sisu answered cheerily before bursting out into more horrific screaming.
His face turned red. Sure explained why he hadn't had any eggs lately though.
Seeing his expression, Sisu actually felt the amusement in this, in a sort of self-deprecating way. Despite the mortal agony, this was actually kinda fun.
Then, approximately 5 million contractions hit her at once (rough estimate), and she wailed loudly, deciding this wasn't very fun anymore.
"Uh, should I sit here and wait, or should I just..." he would feel bad about leaving her alone in such a state...
"Oh, by all means, stand by, I have a feeling this is going to be quite a performance," Sisu observed.
"That's not exactly what I-"
But then- "OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sisu cried again, hunching over, back legs standing straight, "Oops, my booty's in the air, that's actually kinda cute- UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sisu screamed miserably. "WHY ME!"
Why her indeed? She'd give it this at least, being a girl was funny.
"You might want to cover your ears for this next part," Sisu said, feeling another intense wave coming on. As if she hadn't already made quite a show of herself. Unfortunately he didn't do as suggested, and as the contractions hit Sisu screamed all the embarrassing facts about dragon womanhood in one. By the time she was done, the poor dragon who had decided to sit with her figured he probably now knew more about dragon ladiness than he even did his own self.
Well, at least it helped answer some of his questions in life.
Yeah, this was really humiliating to say the least. But hey, at least she had someone to share it with.
And so the night wore on, the egg still continued to stubbornly not come. What was wrong with this thing? Sisu could only scream and shout and moan and groan her way through it. See, fun!
Eventually, another dragon came up beside him, "What's happening?" she asked.
"Oh, she's just laying an egg," he replied.
"Cool," the other dragon said, sitting down next to him to observe.
Sisu was really I the spotlight now, wasn't she?
But as the newcomer heard some of the things Sisu had to say, she looked over at the male dragon, and slowly scooted away. She did not_want to be associated _that. Unfortunately, she couldn't deny the truth in all of it. She better scram before anybody put two and two together.
"Well, anyway, I got to go, take care."
And with that, she was gone.
"Hmm, wonder where she's off to," Sisu mused before imitating a few more guttural screams. "MY V*****!"
Unfortunately the other dragon hadn't made it out of earshot yet. *Cringe!* Hopefully she'd never lay eggs. (Yeah, little did she know, but she was only a couple weeks off herself.)
"AM I ALMOST DONE!" Sisu cried out after a literal eternity (actually, it was only several hours, but the Sun was beginning to rise again, so it might of well have been.)
"I can check," said the fellow dragon, rushing to be helpful in any way he could. He ran to her back legs, put is head under there, and looked up (woah, uh, that was not what she'd meant to ask, it had simply been some of her impained rhetoric. But hey, why not?). "I don't see anything..." he said.
And then Sisu let out her most agonized scream yet, and a small tiny egg plopped right onto his snout and bounced down onto the ground.
Sisu wheezed and coughed a few seconds from the shock of that sudden last bit of pain, and when she finally recovered enough, she turned around to look at her egg. She picked it up. It was so tiny, only about the size of a chicken egg.
"All that for this?" Sisu cried, "This cannot be it. Because that hurt."
"Well I think it looks quite nice," the fellow dragon observed.
"Of course it looks nice," said Sisu, feeling her mommy instincts taking over again, "it's beautiful, but why on Earth did it take so long?"
"Well," said the male dragon, "because of its size it may have been hard for the contractions to gain traction I think, something like that."
Sisu looked up surprised, "Well look at you," said Sisu, giving him a friendly bump, "when did you become such an egg expert?"
He didn't want to answer that one. But the answer was, Last Night.
Sisu looked back at her egg. Wow! If it had hurt that much to lay this little egg, she didn't know how she had made it through the two other eggs that were 10/20 times bigger. Apparently she had already forgotten what that felt like, it had been so unimaginable. She did not want to think that she already had been through so much more pain than this (Ouch).
Perhaps it was a mercy she didn't have to think back to it, but that could not have been merciful when she had actually been going through it way back when, could it have?
But right now she had to focus on the problem at hand, which was continuing to expand. She was already on three eggs, probably counting, and she still had no idea what to do with them.
"What would you do with an egg like this?" she asked her friend.
"I don't know," he answered, "I've never had one."
Well, it was worth a shot, "Well, I would not_recommend it," Sisu replied. "But look at you, all manly and everything. You could _never imagine what I've just been through. You know, because you don't have any... lady secrets." Wink. Wait, why did she just do that.
"Well, I'm pretty sure I know all those secrets now," he answered solemnly.
Yeah, that was exactly what she had intended to do, announce all her lady secrets to some random guy she accidentally met in the woods. The prides of being an egg layer.
"Well anyway, gotta skedaddle," Sisu said.
And without anymore further words, Sisu leapt into the sky to continue her journey toward Fang. It would be pointless to hope to catch Namaari on the road now.
