She was Orion and Isadora's first child—a human and four-eared elf hybrid. She was a mortal.
Orion had impregnated Isadora while he was still a mortal, so he had already expected this outcome. Nonetheless, it didn't lessen the love he felt for her.
Before Orion, Isadora sat within a transparent barrier engulfed in white flames. The aura she emitted no longer belonged to a mortal but to a divine. After their intimate union, Isadora—who had been the only one among his wives still human—had ascended into a divine and was slowly continuing her rise toward true godhood.
She was the first in his household, after him, to reach this level of power.
Orion had shielded her ascension from outside detection to avoid any interruption of the event that was currently unfolding. He didn't know how long her ascension would take to complete, but he would remain by her side until then.
"I hope you don't mind because very soon, you'll be having a brother," Orion whispered softly.
