Drusilla looked at Zakk, "...My blood runs through your veins..." She said to him, "I am your ancestor." Claudio stood up, holding Sorin in his arms. She looked at the badly beaten Sorin, and frowned. "We need to get him to a hospital..." Claudio said. Drusilla nodded. "The Pre-Tournament Gala is tomorrow... I will look for my book during the event." She said, as they walked.
Claudio was walking briskly to the edge of the forest, looking down at Sorin as he did. When they got to the edge, he saw Zakk and Fulong's cars. He placed Sorin in the backseat, and immediately took off his ruined blazer, and began to clean his face up.
Drusilla looked at Zakk, "When the storm clears, I will answer all of your questions. Until then, we must keep our priorities straight..." She said to him, getting into Fulong's car.

"...My blood runs through your veins... I am your ancestor."
Zakk was confused and speechless as Fulong nodded. "What she speaks is true. As I can tell, you have her eyes."
We need to get him to a hospital..."
"Yeah... He'll be alright, yes?" Zakk said, helping Claudio escort Sorin to his car. Soon they were finally out of the forest as Drusilla now got in the car with Fulong.
"When the storm clears, I will answer all of your questions. Until then, we must keep our priorities straight..."
"Which is saving Lian." Fulong commented. "For right now, anyway. I believe you can do this, Honorable Nephew."

Elise and Lei both arrived at the forest, holding hands as they walked together. Lei had a bad feeling about this place, but Elise seemed to be quite confident of herself.
"So... Interesting place to go to for a date, huh?"
Elise nods. "Well, Drusilla came to me and told me that if I had any questions to come here."
"I see... Like a Q&A forum."
"Mhmm..."
"She said that these children are special. And she did a spell that kept them protected. She said she's going to move on once the twins are born."
Lei nods. "Yeah."
Elise was out of breath and stopped to take a break by sitting on a nearby log. Lei sits down next to her and hands her a water bottle that Elise immediately drank.
"Don't push yourself too hard, Elise." He gently runs her abdomen. "You kids wearing your mother out?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, listen up you two, daddy's not going to be around much. Take care of your mother. I'll be back. I promise." He kisses the belly.
Elise felt some weird flutters in her stomach. She figured it's the twins reacting to their father.
Lei then moved his head up and kissed Elise. She kisses him back, and pulls him closer to her.

A man stood over the site of where Drusilla died. He placed his hands in the dirt, enclosing his fingers around it. He donned all white, loose fitting garments. He wore simple slip on white shoes. He heard people walking through the forest, and looked up. "..." He silently stood to his feet, feeling Drusilla's magic radiate off of the woman. He walked to them, light enveloping his hands and eyes, "STOP!" He ordered them. "Why are you here...? Where is Drusilla?!" He asked the duo.

Elise and Lei both immediately backed away from each other, both slightly confused at the whole thing. They took a good look at Lucio, as Elise and Lei had no idea who this man is. They were honestly expecting Drusilla, but didn't anticipate this man.
Lei sat up, ready to protect his wife if it came down to it. However, Lei wasn't in a fighting stance, but rather kept in mind in case something were to happen.
"Drusilla sent me here if I had any questions concerning our children... and she's dead... but her spirit sent me here."
"I'm just here for backup. I'm Drusilla's descendant."

He looked at them, frowning at their mention of Drusilla's death. Lucio feared this happened, but wasn't sure. He walked closer to them. "What answers did my sister send you here to discover, woman?!" Lucio then narrowed his eyes, "If you are a descendant of Drusilla's, then you are a monster!" He spat at Lei. The light from his hands grew into bright white flame, "Give me one reason why I should not annihilate you right NOW!" He screamed at them.

"What answers did my sister send you here to discover, woman?!"
"She told me to come here if I am without hope..."
"Without hope? Honey? Are you alright? Is this why we're here? What's going on?"
"..."
Lei didn't know exactly what to say to Lucio. He knows Drusilla wouldn't send them here if they were going to be killed. Lei had to think of something fast. "Because we're not a threat. We're all humans here. You can tell, can't you? I mean it wouldn't be a fair fight."

Lucio drew closer, "My sister summoned an abomination from hell that killed millions of people! What tells me that you are not like her, seeking answers in this desolate place of despair!?" He raised his fist to strike Lei, but felt a grip from someone. He turned, seeing Drusilla's face. He clenched his jaw tightly. The flame dissipating. Niether Lei nor Elise could see her, or the look os desperation she was giving her brother.
Lucio looked back at Elise. "I have no idea why Drusilla would send you here." He turned, walking towards where Drusilla died. "I sense the essence of death here...." He looked at Elise, "But why is it that YOU have her life force...?" He asked her.

"My sister summoned an abomination from hell that killed millions of people! What tells me that you are not like her, seeking answers in this desolate place of despair!?"
"And that abomination is gone." Lei said calmly.
As Lucio was ready to strike Lei, Lei quickly held his forearm up to block his strike, but it looks like he stopped.
"I have no idea why Drusilla would send you here. I sense the essence of death here.... But why is it that YOU have her life force...?"
"Because... she placed a protection spell on her... somehow..." Lei said. "However, if what you say is true..."
"She said she was going to be gone once the twins were born." Elise added.
"Right... so that means... Elise... I think you might be carrying Drusilla's reincarnation."
"What?"

Lucio's eyes widened, "Impossible..." He said. He shook his head, "That is impossible." Lucio took a deep breath. "Drusilla and the demon are gone..." He muttered. He looked at Elise. "If she gave you her life force, then you have immortality while it is intact. Do you not know what Drusilla was...?! What I am...?!"
He paused frowning, "My sister always made the wrong choice... A foolish child from the start, always taking matter into her own hands... Her arrogance was her downfall. If her immortality was finished, it was by her own choice. And she gave it to... you..."
"We were born in the mud of Rome, forged in the hands of the goddess, Minerva. Drusilla and I are what your species would call... Demi Gods."

"Drusilla and the demon are gone... If she gave you her life force, then you have immortality while it is intact. Do you not know what Drusilla was...?! What I am...?!"
"Hold up..." Elise said. She was trying to process this. "So, you're telling me... that as I'm pregnant, I'm immortal?"
"I think that's exactly what he's saying."
"Okay... okay... Wulong... seriously... get a vasectomy!" Elise snapped.
"Whoah there! Elise, honey, calm down... It's going to be okay..." Lei said trying to calm Elise down as he rubbed her back.
"My sister always made the wrong choice... A foolish child from the start, always taking matter into her own hands... Her arrogance was her downfall. If her immortality was finished, it was by her own choice. And she gave it to... you..."
"Actually, I gave it to Elise... she didn't give to her, I gave it to her." Lei muttered. "I'm the one who knocked her up."
"We were born in the mud of Rome, forged in the hands of the goddess, Minerva. Drusilla and I are what your species would call... Demi Gods."
"Demi Gods? What?"
"Yes, Honey... remember the stories about Sun Wukong being my ancestor... yeah. Listen... Elise... Everything's going to be fine... Alright..."
Elise wasn't sure how to process this. She was starting to cry.
"Hey, hey..."

Lucio looked at the couple in disbelief. Lucio had an instant dislike for Lei, already. "Drusilla gave this woman her immortality." Cold, and unrelenting with his interrogation, Lucio walked to Elise. "What else did my sister tell you!? Answer me this instant." He demanded.

"Drusilla gave this woman her immortality. What else did my sister tell you!? Answer me this instant." Lei jumped in between Lucio and Elise.
"Hey, hey! She's clearly in distress right now! She cannot give you the answers that you need. Look, all I know is that Drusilla told Elise that her babies have her gifts. And she's happy that I chose Elise to carry on her bloodline. And I'm guessing that this was a spell... FULONG WAS IN ON IT, TOO!" Lei snapped his fingers. "That's why he was in such a hurry to get Elise and I off the ship... he WANTED ME TO IMPREGNANTE MY WIFE..." Lei placed a hand on his forehead. "Okay, I don't know if I can go to rehab like this..."
"Wulong, I thought I was going to die giving birth... but I'm not... no..."
"Elise... shhh..."

Lucio pursed his lips, annoyed at Wulong's interference. "This is not a conversation between you and I, descendant of Drusilla...." He said to Lei. "This is a conversation between her and I." He pushed Lei out of the way, facing Elise. He placed both of his hands together, and then held them out. "Take my hands, Elise..." He instructed.

Lei fell over. He quickly recovered. "Look, I'm no match for you..."
However, left with no choice, Elise did as she was told and took Lucio's hands.
