Ixonia was impatiently waiting for someone to allow her to stable her creatures. Not only was she tired but the sheep were about to produce their lambs and in fact she had two on the floorboards bleating. One never knew when the lambs were to be born and it looked like they were to born any time. She was weary and just wanted to rest somewhere in a bit of peace. Ixonia knew that she was going to have to pay quite handsomely for this but she was ready to do so.

A loud bleat alerted Ixonia to the birthing of the first lamb in her small flock. She quickly tied the reins off on the curved horn then knelt to check out the mother.
"Tis ok. Soon it will be all over and ye will have a little one to take care of. Now breathe easy for a minute......" she spoke in a soothing tone to the tired mother.
