This city is known to have existed back before Christ showed up, as well as having amassed a powerful empire. It is also home to several brilliant scholars and minds.
One of whom is Drusilla. Fulong managed to get a copy of his brother's DNA and his own DNA results that his girlfriend had analyzed a few months prior. Fulong and Lei both share about 42% of the same DNA, mostly favoring their father's bloodline. That Mediterranean DNA came from their dad's side of the family tree. Fulong had that exact same mutation. Though Lei had more Mediterranean characteristics than his brother. However, unlike his younger brother, Fulong did not carry the illusive green eyes gene, but instead had a dominant brown eyes gene.
With this revelation, Fulong understood his brother's unusual attraction to foreign women. He has more foreign DNA, which is what their father had.
Now with all the evidence and pieces of the puzzle put together, it was up to Fulong to solve this mystery once and for all.
He knocks on the door, waiting for Drusilla to answer.

Drusilla sat Indian Style on the hard wood floor of her home. She had her deck laid out in front of her. It was dark, the only light being various candles lit. The drapes were closed. Her blonde hair was pulled back, and she donned white clothes that draped over her. Her eyes began to narrow, when she heard someone at the door. She quickly put her cards away, and walked to the door. She looked through the peephole, and sighed a breath of relief. "Fulong..." She opened the door, smiling. "Come in..." She said, quietly. She turned on the lights, and blew out the candles.
"It's good to see you, Fulong... It's been a while..." She walked behind the room divider, to change. "I hope Wulong is doing well..." She said, as she changed. "The Cathedral is nearly finished... So, Claudio will have his headquarters back.."
She came out wearing a white t shirt, and blue jeans. "Would you like some tea..?" She asked, as she hung the toga in the closet.

As Fulong stepped in he was quickly greeted by her and did a bow of respect.
"It's good to see you, Fulong... It's been a while... I hope Wulong is doing well..."
"He's doing fine. Just been taking things one step at a time."
"The Cathedral is nearly finished... So, Claudio will have his headquarters back.."
"I've heard that from honorable grandson Xinglong. He's really estatic. He made a miracle recovery."
Fulong wonders if that DNA is responsible for Xinglong's rapid recovery and ability to bounce back that quickly. Lei pointed out that he managed to survive getting shot five times. And he recovered from the injuries quite miraculously, according to doctors. Although Lei was out of it for awhile, he still impressed the doctors.
"I learned a valuable lesson that day. If you're going to do a big drug bust, make sure you wear kevlar."
"Yes. Sure. I will take some tea. I've got a few things to talk about."

Drusilla smiled, "Of course..." She walked to the kitchen, and started to boil the water. She sat back, waiting. She was curious about what Fulong could have wanted to talk to her about. There were so many directions this could go... Once the water was boiling, she pulled out two tea cups, and poured the water over the tea bag in the cup. She then brought them to her small dining table, and grabbed her creme out of the fridge before sitting. "Sugar and creme's there, if you take it.." She poured a small amount of creme, and a spoonfull of sugar into the cup after she deemed that the tea had steeped enough.
As she stirred, she looked at Fulong. "So what did you want to talk about..?" She said, setting the bag in the small plate inbetween them.

"No thanks. But thanks for the offer, anyway."
Fulong takes a seat at the table and places a folder next to the bag.
"Look through this pamphlet here. I have been doing some research into my ancestry for over 30 years now. I've compiled my research into a book that I plan on publishing."
It contained DNA results from Lei, himself, and Zhoulong. It showed a correlation of the Mediterranean DNA.
"I am sure you know exactly what this is."

Drusilla took the paper, and looked at it. She pursed her lips, drifting her eyes across the data. "...So, you just naturally assume that the thousands year old Roman woman is your ancestor...?" She laughed a little, giving him the paper back. "I had a son... He was called Titus... Titus Vestalis..." Talking about her son always pained Drusilla. "I don't know specifics, The Espelhar only allowed me to see him in his most painful moments... and my descendants' painful moments..." She sighed. "There was a reason the demon attacked Lei Long... so many years ago."
She laughed a little. "They thought they were successful in trapping the demon in a mirror, but... they were wrong. It was relishing my agony, not theirs." Tears started forming, but she pushed them back, wiping her eyes.
"I've never revealed myself as an ancestor to my descendants. I've never seen the reason why. But you, Fulong... You figured it out." She smiled. "You are correct. My blood runs in your veins..." She smirked.

"It wasn't coincidence that you mentioned your descendants and urged me to investigate after mentioning my brother's girlfriend. I did some research."
He reaches over to flip several pages.
"According to the stone tablet, a woman by the name of Lei Portia, married my ancestor, Lei Shen. This was apparently the first record of our family that ever existed. And apparently, they had seven kids together and created a village. I remember, I found out that first matriarch was a foreigner. I couldn't figure out it this was a mistranslation, but her name was a transliteration of Portia... A Latin name. It made me really think. And she was his only wife,too. In fact the Lei men hardly had multiple wives. They only had one wife."
Drusilla then mentioned her story and talked about the suffering and pain that the Espelhar caused Drusilla. He could only imagine what Daniel was going through.
Once Drusilla revealed their relationship, Fulong was surprised but glad that his suspicions were correct.
"What was Portia to you? Was she happily married to my ancestor? Or did he buy her as his wife?"
The tablet didn't reveal much of their relationship, but from what Fulong could assume, Shen came from the skies above during the thunderstorm and made Portia his bride and raised their children into warriors for the Emperor.

Drusilla winced at the name, but smiled, shrugging it off. "Portia was my granddaughter..." She said. "I don't know much about her... Just that she nearly died as an infant... And the pain my son went through--" Her eyes welled up, and she stopped speaking. "Well..." She sipped her tea, and satback. "I'm sorry, I don't really like talking about that period.." She said. She stood up, finishing her tea. She set the cup in the sink. "I hope that this won't change anything drastically...."
She turned to him, "I also would like for you to keep this to yourself..." She said. "Not many people know my true history... I want to keep it that way. Besides, Nobody will believe that I am your ancestor..." She said, with a quiet laugh.
Drusilla sighed, quickly changing the subject. "I believe I have located my book... Atleast, the county it is in, anyways.... I feel the familiar energy coming from the East. When I scry, It lands on the coast of Japan..." She leaned on the counter. "If I can find it, we can rid ourselves of this demon once and for all..."

Fulong was surprised to hear that Portia was her granddaughter and that she almost died. Perhaps Lei Shen loved her very much.
"I'm sorry. I should not have asked. It's just... So much to wrap my head around. I... my parents died when I was 16. And my Father told us of our lineage, but stopped talking to me when I didn't want to be a cop and foolishly toss my life away like he did!"
Fulong sighed before bowing. "Father forgive me for dishonoring your name."
When Drusilla mentioned the book and its location he was excited.
"Alright! Great! I should send Wulong or Wanrei out there. Do you know exactly where?"

Drusilla walked to Fulong, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. "...Its not your fault... I just was no allowed to see them happy, only when they hurt. And it hurt me, so... it's difficult... But one day, I'll be able to tell you what I know." She smiled, pulling away. "And... No, sadly. I'll have to go to Japan myself... I actually bought the ticket to go earlier this morning..."
She sighed. "I'll be able to feel the pull... The energy, it's palpable. Whomever has it, I don't know if they'll give it up easily..." She said.

"Damn... That's awful."
It honestly was. All the more reason to stop the Espelhar and save Daniel.
"I see... I suppose that if it is something that you must do, it will be done. In the meantime, I suppose that I will continue my research."
He closes his eyes for a moment. "I'm glad fate has brought us together. It is a pleasure to meet you... Grandmother..."
Fulong wasn't sure about the last part. But he felt it was somewhat necessary. That would explain why they had such a strong connection.
"I hope to harness the gift that you have bestowed upon our bloodline in battle."

Drusilla chuckled lightly. "Fulong... Magic is everywhere. Anyone can learn to harness it... It just comes naturally to certain people." She smiled. "How about you come with me to Japan, and we try to find it together... You can even call Wulong." She clapped her hands together. "I have a good feeling about this... I think we will be successful."
She sat back down. "Meet me at the airport... We can discuss a plan of action on our flight.." She said, opening her laptop, seeing if she can find a ticket for him.

"Okay! That sounds like a plan. My son can take over while I'm handling things. I'll see if Little Wulong is up for it. He's probably busy again. But it never hurts to call and ask him."
"Meet me at the airport... We can discuss a plan of action on our flight.."
"Alright. I'll see you there, then." Fulong waved.
He then called his brother, not even considering the current timezone in Hong-Kong. To his surprise, the Super Cop answered instantly.
'Oh Elder Brother Fulong! You called! I was just about to call you!' Lei shouted in Mandarin.
'What is it? Is it like 2AM over there?'
'No, I'm in Ireland, but anyway that's besides the point. Bottom line. I'm scared. I'm really scared. I need your help.'
'Alright. What is it now?'
'Don't tell anyone, but Elise is pregnant with triplets, and she's very ill and won't be able to leave her bed.'
'Damnit, Little Wulong! What did I tell you about having sex before marriage?'
'Elder Brother Fulong, now is not the time to give me a lecture! Right now, I need you to listen!'
Fulong sighed. 'So, she's under bed rest. This is good. Very good. That should help her. Just relax, okay and breathe. Mother was under bed rest when she had you.'
'Really?'
'I had to help her and do chores and learn to cook. It was a blessing that you came out fine. Mother had several miscarriages before she had you.'
'She did?'
Fulong nodded. 'And after getting pregnant again for the fourth time, you finally arrived into the world.'
'Interesting. That explains why you're so much older than me.'
'But anyway, I'm guessing you want me to have her stay at my place because you're too damn busy to take care of her, yourself?'
'Actually, no. I was just wondering if you could look after her while I'm in the tournament.'
Fulong rolled his eyes. 'Little Wulong. You cannot just leave your girlfriend in Hong-Kong while you go out of the country. This woman is at her most vulnerable, and you're just going to leave her behind? Look, you need to stay with that woman! Take care of her! Okay? Stressing her out is going to kill the baby. Why do you think Mother went through three different miscarriages before she had you? She was stressed out whenever Father went overseas! Don't repeat the same mistake and stay with that woman, okay?'
'......I guess I can stay in Hong-Kong during the tournament, couldn't I?'
'Yes... and to think I was going to ask you to come with me to Japan...'
Again. When Fulong wanted Lei to come with him again, something always happens. Again.
'Sorry.'
'Whatever you do, remain calm! Okay! I'm going to hang up, alright. I'll call you back later to check up on you. Bye.'
Fulong hung up and let out a deep sigh as he placed his hand on his forehead. He didn't even tell him the news. He'll tell him later. 'Younger brother is such an idiot...'

12 hours after the plane landed at the Rome airport, Connor got off the plane, grabbed his bag, passed all the checks with ease and exited the airport.
"Finally ... home"
He went into hiding behind a corner transformed and flew off to the cemetery where his father was buried.

Connor arrived at the cemetery where his father was buried. Connor entered the cemetery and searched for his father's grave, The cemetery was deserted, there were no people except a woman standing in front of a tombstone,the woman was very beautiful and well cared for, she could be up to 40 years old. Connor walked slowly and once he was close he read the name of that tombstone, The inscription said "Here lies Leon Miles". Connor had found his father's grave.And that woman Connor had seen her in one of his many dreams. maybe it was his mother. to be sure Connor asked the woman
"Did you know him?"
