The children were born today, shortly before I woke up. There was a male and a female, the female was a Hobgoblin and the male was a Human, and both of them were very obviously variants. I don’t think normal humans are born with green hair or with inborn plant shaping powers, and I highly doubt hobgoblins are able to control ambient mana in their sleep.

When I found them Tiddol was nursing her daughter. The tree they were laying against had started to wrap its roots protectively around them, almost like a cacoon. There weren't many people the tree let get to them, and the forest as a whole seemed very protective of the children, particularly the human child. The people they let see the children included myself, Par, the ents, Whisperer, and Tiddol of course.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

They finally named them too. Umi is the Female hobgoblin while Ednar is the male human.

I was shooed away after a little while so Tiddol could sleep.

I decided to work on refining my plant refining skills after that. After a day’s work I managed to get myself working in parallel nine times at peak efficiency, though I am slowing down slightly I how quickly I improve. I think I might be getting to a big threshold or something like that here soon.

In the evening when I stopped meditating Tiddol had already gone to sleep for the night with the children, which was disappointing but it’s not like I can do much about it. So after getting something to eat I decided to go to sleep myself.

Anyway, Good Night diary.
