All children are blessings; even those born asleep.
The vision came as a dream, and all of those worthy of the Faith knew that the gods spoke through dreams. So in a time that was great mourning for other civilizations, the people of Ahmec celebrated. The would-be mother was paraded about the streets, cradling the cold bundle to her bosom as her people threw scented flowers and well-wishes in her direction.
