Chapter Text
"Come on, just let me try!"
"My dear child you simply aren't ready to use that ability. What if you use it and can't come back?"
"But..I.I mean...sigh"
"I do not want to risk losing you..you are my sun in this dark place. My dear _______...you understand yes?"
"Yes..Father I understand.."
"Good, now come. There is something you can try. You need practice in levitating objects still."
"Uuugggh, fine. I'm coming I'm coming."
"You know where to go. I'll be there shortly _____"
"Yea Yea."
.....
As they walk out, you can't help but smile and shake your head. To see that they have grown into a fine young adult filled you with...Determination.
Laughing to yourself at the realization, you pulled out a notebook and promptly write down your recent findings. With your current experiment and them taking up most of your time, you must write in between the two. After all, using the natural heat of Hotland to power all of the underground and raising them is a handful in itself, and Tibia honest, you wouldn't have in any other way.
Every since you found them 19 years ago, naked and barely alive against the side of their young mother who had passed not long before, You pick the barely breathing infant up and studied it, ideas and experiments coming to mind. Giving one last glance to the human who had passed, you wrapped the infant up in your lab coat and walked back to your Lab to begin experiments and surgeries to change the very being of the young babe.
There over time as the infant got older by months (?), the experiments started making them sick. As much as you tried, you couldn't stop becoming worried for them. It became apparent to you that you could no longer ignore the growing maternal feelings you had for them when they became so sick that they almost died. You couldn't bear the loss of another child, even if that child wasn't your own.
So, with no other choice, you performed surgery on them that would combine their human soul with that of a monsters. You gave them a piece of your own. After the surgery, they started becoming better, moving and playing with the simple toys you had found for them. They didn't just get better, they changed completely. The combining of your SOUL and theirs resulted in them becoming half human, half monster. And that was just fine with you. You stopped the experiments, and when they were old enough and started showing signs of using magic, you started having them practice different magic techniques to see what powers would be theirs.
So, now after 19 years, they were still working on their magic. You knew they had in it them, but for now their magic laid dormant, only offering them the smallest bit of use when levitating. Soon you would find what the trigger it was that made their magic work, but for now all you could do is help them practice. One step at a time.
"My child, my sun and stars."you say sighing. If only they were here to enjoy this with the two of you. To help guide them with you. If only they di...
CRASH
you were brought out of your musings by a sudden crash. Worrying about what happen, you got up and ran out of the lab, lab coat flying around you as you hurridly ran to the source of the sound.
As you rounded the corner of the door, you were stopped by the sight before you. You saw your child dodging out of the way of a knife, that was aimed at the shining pink and lavender SOUL that was brought out by battle. And also by the one holding the knife.
They attacking your child, you see another child. The only difference being that this child WAS human. They didn't merely have the appearence of a human, like they did. No this was a true human child, except this child could easily be mistaken for a monster. For they had the look of bloodlust in their red tainted eyes, the way they kept aiming for them. Aiming with the intent to kill.
"My child you must flee!" You shout having been shaken out of your stupor. "Run ____ Run!" with eyes glowing a bright purple you used your magic to pull them out of the way of the next attack and threw them toward the exit, sorrow and guilt filling you as they hit the door.
As you filled their spot in the battle you hear them shout "Father No! Please we can both get out of here!" You hear their footsteps get near you and immediately you make their heart turn purple and push them back. "No! you must leave! This thing means to harm you and I can't bear to lose you too! Not like them! Not like I lost yOUR BROTHERS!" You shout seeing the human come at you with renewed interest.
They gasp loudly "Br..brothers?" You can feel their heart, no their SOUL fill with sorrow and surprise. For they never knew about their brothers. No you choose to keep that from them. You couldn't bear the pain of telling them how you lost them to the first Core you made. How one day, something went horribly wrong and in the blink of an eye they just vanished. Leaving everyones memory except your own.
While in your thoughts, you forget the threat in front of you and with a hiss of pain you use your magic to throw the human against the wall, pinning them there while you nurse the new wound on your forearm.
"You must go ____! Please don't worry about me! I will find you when this is finished I promise!" You shout back focusing all your strength on keeping this hell bent demon from escaping your grasp.
"But fathe.." you interupt them "Go go now!"
Without another word to them, you slam the human onto the floor then to the ceiling, trying to knock them out or make them give up.
In the process, you hear them sobbing. Your child might put up a strong front, but in the end they are just that. Your Child. Your sun and stars. Your light in this dark void. You turn to them and catch their tear filled eyes and smile. "I love you ____. Always remember that. I will come for you no matter where you are or what happens." Choking back a sob, they nod looking at you with soft lavender pink eyes filled with determination. "Just make sure to keep your promise." they say lifting their pinky finger in the familiar tradition, hooking it slightly saying "Pinky promise" You say it too softly while smiling that wide smile only a skeleton can pull off. They turn and run, opening the door leading out into Hotland.
"Please be safe my child." With that done you turn back to the human, with all of the fury only a parent can have, ready to defend the door with your life.
"Come Human, its time to show you what happens when a skeleton is done boning around. Because tibia honest with you, I do not know where you came from but you made the mistake of attacking my child," You say, the room being bathed in a bright purple hue. "I hope your prepared," You take off your lab coat and let it fall, "B E C A U S E Y O U R G O N N A H A V E A B A D T I M E."
