It had been three days since the rescue of the Silvertree siblings, and many things had come to light. One that the children were now known as the newest heirs of the drow Under Dark. Two the ritual Xzander used was discovered to be a generic protection one that had been enhanced by the lingering souls of the children's bearers. Three that Professor Silvertree had been infected by an artifact that had been sent by an archeological team in Brazil, one that was excavating the ruins of a previously unknown civilization many in the field were calling Los Oscurecidos, known in english as The Darkened. And lastly that the children and Xzander had been healed of any injury they had previously had. This was discovered only after x-rays taken of them hadn’t shown what was in their files, from a Broken leg Xzander had as a child, to the cavities in Chrysor’s fangs that had been cleaned and filled at his last dentist appointment.
“Ugh did anyone get the Golem that ran me over?” Xzander groaned.
“It's About time you woke up son, we need to talk.” A woman's voice declared from the side of his hospital bed that he noticed seemed to be a bit smaller than when he had last been in the hospital.
“Mother? What’s going on?” Xzander questioned, suddenly sitting up and frantically asking “are those kids alright?!?!?!”
“They are fine, after all I would not let any grandchild of mine remain hurt.” Queen Zylianna of the Drow told her son with a smirk on her face.
“Grandchildren? What are you talking about?” He questioned his mother.
“You tapped into a leyline and the souls of the deceased parents to inadvertently change your Familial Protection Ritual into an Adoption Ritual. Which has given those children Drow DNA, over taking half of Professor Silvertree’s DNA. Not to mention giving you DNA from each species the children are a part of. This is unprecedented. As far as the best Doctors and Healers are aware, this should have been Impossible. You don’t do things by half do you?” A voice said from the doorway. Turning the Mother and Son duo noticed a male Kappa coming into the room in scrubs and a doctor's coat. “My name is Dr. Oi Khan, i'm your primary healer here at Mount Hood Legacy in Troutdale. I'm a specialist in Spell Mutation Effects, hence why you are here and not at Providence or OHSU hospital. To be honest You are lucky to have survived the influx of Foriegn DNA, not to mention the fact that you gained High Elf DNA, which shouldn’t be possible as you were a full blooded Drow. The mix of those two should have killed you.” the Doctor said, referencing the file in his hands. All while he performed basic health checks needed for when a patient awakens from a short term coma.
Only now did Xzander notice the changes to his body. From the rattlesnake snake tail and rattlesnakes in his hair, to the talon like nails on his slightly bigger hand.
"Why did this happen? I could've sworn I used a familial protection spell?" Xzander said confused as to how all this could happen from a commonly used spell.
"As I previously stated, you unknowingly tapped into a nearby Ley-Line, boosting the spell. Not only that but when you cast the spell and the deceased parents' souls appeared, you were deemed worthy to raise their children in their stead. To be completely honest you are lucky you even survived. You have over eight new DNA sequences within you. After extensive examination and testing it seems that you were turned into a hybrid between the children's Species and Drow. It's best if you read the results. I'll send a nurse to check you out. Not to mention I'm sure you probably want to go to OHSU to meet your new children." The doctor said as he handed a thick scroll to Xander.
"That's a lovely idea Doctor. I'm sure my guards are getting the car ready." said Xzander's Mother with a hint of mischief in her tone.
A few minutes later both Xzander and Zylianna were in a limo heading Through Gresham to Downtown Portland. After a bit of silence Xzander decided to open the scroll. "Please read it aloud sweetheart. I'd like to know about my new grandbabies races." Zylianna stated with a slight smirk and a twinkle in her eye.
Clearing his throat he began to read aloud. "Comprehensive Magical test of Xzander Izaih Orthefaer.

After he finished reading all he could think was 'Do I have the worst or the best luck!'
……
Meanwhile thousands of miles away in a remote Alaskan Inuit village's graveyard a dark figure smirked as he looked at how all the villages' dead rose from the ground as he resurrected them and they're souls and forced his will upon them. And even as the dead tried to resist they soon were pulled in and made servants. A flash of lightning out of nowhere illuminated a young man wearing an Ankh around his neck, a trenchcoat covering an outfit most would consider emo. All with a pair of dog-like ears on his head, and a thin tail at the base of his back. His eyes a deep neverending black, no pupil or iris to be seen. And deeply tanned skin with bandages wrapped all over his free skin.
He couldn't help the laugh that caused the people in the village to shudder after he said "Soon life will be Snuffed out of everything and everyone, and I shall be feared once more."
