(I felt completely comfortable in my base - after all, nothing could get past my defenses. 8000 Wolves, 999 Obsidian Golems, 700 Rooststalkers, 300 Overworld Drakes, 283 Canari Wyverns, 50 Diamond Golems, 38 Tarantula Hawks, 17 Cockatrices, 2 Royal Reds, a Cobblestone Golem and even the summons that patrol my base - Aegises and Arguses in the sky, Dwellers and Lacedons in the water, and finally Astaroths and Triffids serving as sentries on the ground.)

[player]: “With these defenses, I’m basically unstoppable!”

(Just then, one of the Arguses that defends my base from airborne threats flies over to me.)

Female Argus: “Master…I’m not feeling so good. It’s like something’s moving inside my belly.”

[player]: “Wait…which Argus are you again?”

Female Argus: “I’m Aria, Master. Please, you have to help me.”

[player]: “Of course, let me take a look.”

(I approach Aria, inspecting her closely.)

[player]: “It looks like…you’re pregnant.”

Female Argus: “Pregnant?! How is that possible? I’m an elemental being, I can’t bear children.”

[player]: “It seems like there’s always something new to learn in this world. But don’t worry, we’ll figure out what to do.”

(I immediately call over my trusted healer, a skilled Witch named Hazel.)

[player]: “Hazel, we have a problem. Aria is showing signs of pregnancy and we need to figure out what to do.”

Hazel: “Hmm…this is very unusual. Elemental beings are not supposed to be able to conceive. Let me see if I can figure out what’s going on.”

(Hazel begins running a series of tests on Aria, trying to determine the cause of her pregnancy. After several tense minutes, she finally has an answer.)

Hazel: “It seems that Aria has somehow bonded with a single elemental creature. It could either be a Grue, Eechetik, Spectre, Tremor, or Wraith.”

[player]: “Bonded? What does that mean?”

Hazel: “It’s a rare phenomenon where an elemental being can form a connection with another creature, resulting in a type of magical fusion. But in Aria’s case, it seems to have created an offspring.”

[player]: “So…what now?”

Hazel: “We’ll need to monitor Aria closely and make sure she has all the proper nutrients and care during her pregnancy. It’s possible that the baby will have some unique abilities or powers that we’ve never seen before.”

[player]: “Alright, let’s make sure Aria is comfortable and well taken care of. And let’s keep this under wraps for now. We don’t want anyone trying to steal or harm the baby.”

(Hazel nods in agreement, and we all set to work tending to Aria and her unborn child. As the days pass, Aria’s belly grows larger and we prepare for the arrival of the new addition to our base’s defenses.)
