Linkle was already made aware that Raven had slipped back into town. But unfortunately for her, something far more important than a reunion had occurred. June was in labor a whole three months before her child was due, and to make matters worse, whatever was wrong with the child was also affecting the magic around the laboring mother. The witch suspected that the father being infected by the dark water back during the conception of the child had something to do with the strange occurrence, but alas, these were no more than mere speculation.
The powers of the horrors were similar to those born from the infected, and if Linkle's assumption was right, then this child was part true monster or part horror, for that matter, much like Arche or Raven's corruption boosted fay form. Either way, she had to deliver the child with help only from the people around her.
