Raissa accepted the glass, letting the aroma fill her nose before taking a steady drink. Bourbon, she should have guessed. Honestly she preferred vodka but a drink was a drink. The alcohol burned her already dry throat but she swallowed every drop and held it out in hopes that he would fill it again. "May I?"

 

She rounded her shoulders, her body much more sore than she thought. "I think you seriously overestimated me. I'm not my father, and I'm definitely not you. I'm smart but you seem to think I'm going to usher in some new era with science. I've already started a war, I think that enough for one life."

[Thugren]

" you think the war that was started was because of you.."

He chuckles and fills her glass.

" no, not hardly. That is what you were told to be pushed into their plans.... Truth is .... The scion war has been going on since the moment Cain was born.... All you did was perfect Germanys weapon

[Lafayra Rue]

She took the drink a little slower this time. This was obviously aged liquor, the first glass already had her head light, and that never happened. Raissa was proud of her alcohol tolerance. "That honestly doesn't make me feel much better about it."

 

She started peeling off the sensor pads on her skin and removed the IV from her arm. Someone had felt the need to change her into a nightgown and she frowned down at the garment. It was far from her choice of nightwear. She guessed that it was Mary Dempsey's, and making an assumption about the woman she figured it had been her that had changed her so she was comfortable. It was far too frilly for Raissa, she preferred simple clothing, like men's button up shirts, those made great pajamas.

 

Her legs ached in protest as she stood from the bed but she ignored them and started pacing the room with her drink. She didn't like when she couldn't move around. "I may not get along with them but Sethis and Krausus did not deserve what I did to them."

[Thugren]

" the ancient scientist smiles.
" krausues fat was made long ago..... His father chose that for him."
He watches her with calculating eyes.

" set his was collateral damage... That was the nazis being creative."

[Lafayra Rue]

"Again that doesn't make it better. What you call creative I call cruel, trust me I would know, but then I suppose they go hand in hand." She paced slowly, sipping her drink, chewing on his words.


"That's a shitty fate. Getting stabbed in the heart by your sister and being brought back to life by a bitch of a scientist you can't stand to be around, his father had a twisted sense of humor." As she turned she caught the man's glance.

"Stop staring at me like I'm an experiment, it unnerves me."

[Thugren]

Augustus breaks out into a bark of a laugh.

" oh his sister... I forgot about that... Yes his father does have a bit of a sense of humor. Does he know about her yet?"

He asks, stepping his hands.

" oh, and be unnerved... Everything to me is an experiment... Comes with the territory

[Lafayra Rue]

She stopped to stare at him, she just couldn't get a fix on this man, though she wasn't sure if she wanted to. "Yes. My father dropped the ball on that one. He didn't take it very well as I remember." She continued her pacing.

[Thugren]

I'm guessing.."

He starts, sipping his drink.

" it's about time I tell you the plan for them."

He motions at a seat and smiles.

" this way you can know the legacy you are now part of."

[Lafayra Rue]

"I'll stand, thank you. Pacing helps me think." She continued her slow walk around the room. He considered this a legacy? Something for the history books? This was cruel, what had been done to them, though a part of her could not deny that it was fascinating, but to so horribly manipulate the genes to create...what? Heroes? She doubt they saw it that way.

[Thugren]

" this legacy.... I call it ragnoroc."

He takes out a pda.

" you think this is all a game to me.... And you are partly right. But only partly. When the world fell I had to do what it took to get man to survive. So over the years i e done countless experiments. Pushed humanity to the genetic breaking point."

He smiles tiredly.

" Cain.... Johten , jarvan... Krausus and Michael . They are my last effort to fix the cycle nightmare is trying to bring to fruition. Very soon when his armies rise...... He true children will ride with him... And I gave humanity the best edge I can give. Five souls, broken and reforged to be the most potent weapons man can wield."

[Lafayra Rue]

Raissa takes the device out of his hand and fiddled with it as she listened. It was filled with page upon page of information. "I don't know if I'd consider them human anymore."

[Thugren]

"Augustus smiles

 

"What is human dear.........TO be frannk you are not even human."

[Lafayra Rue]

Raissa stopped pacing at his words, staring at the amber liquid in her glass. She finished the drink quickly, setting the glass down. "Point taken. The men then...tell me what you will." Sitting cross legged on the floor she propped her chin in her hands. 'The hell was in that drink. Potent shit already got me drunk.' Her head was light and she complacently listened to the man words.

[Thugren]

"Mankind as you thnk you know it...DIed March 11 2052. The last human that survived inception dayu died of stage 3 cancer due toexposure to a blast zon e.

 

 

 

HE motions at the surrounduings.

 

"THese..Humans are an affect of years of select gene splicing...And select breeding trials.

[Lafayra Rue]

"That makes sense, strong humans breed strong children. The mutagens aren't normal, though lovely as a gene experiment. One body able to hold so much power." She turned her gaze out the window. The sun was rising, staining the sky gold and red. "Wonderful power."

[Thugren]

"to make a body a suitable vessel would you like to know what i did ?"

[Lafayra Rue]

Now she caught his gaze, curiousness is her eyes. "Very much so. Was this just for one boy or all of them?"

[Thugren]

all of them.

 

 

He smiles and reaches for his pda, swipin g it to a screen of the human body.

 

"GHoul organs...HAve an interesting side effect. Once added to a body, they harden the muscles, make the bonbe more dense.....Make tissue more plaint.BUt to make a perfect vessel, its very simple...The host, has to be exposed to extreme trauma early in life....And in the case of these boys, each was treated for those traumas with packs of ghoul blood.

[Lafayra Rue]

"How did they not reject the blood? Unless...they were adapted from egg." She grabbed the glass again. Her voice dropped to a murmur, "I may need more, though I don't think you want me drinking all of your good stuff." Her thoughts trailed to Kraussus, what had he suffered for physical trauma in his younger years? She knew that something had brought him and Sethis together, making them brothers in bond but nothing more than that really.

[Thugren]

augustus smiles and fills her glass.

 

 

"My son.."

 

Another voice whispers from the shadows of the room.

 

Augustus grins as the stranger finally makes his presence known as he pulls aside a medical cutain.

 

"Constantly foguht as a child..Before he was with that snake.... He fought ....and got foguht with. I was the doctor that worked whenever he came in from the ho9spital..So i adminuinstered the treatments."

 

 

He stands and leans agasint the wall smoking a cigarette.

 

His face is strong and angled, much like his son, but you can see his right eye is milky white, showing it had been badly damaged.

"Each time he was patched up, i put the injections into his bones .... It replaced his white cells with the Scion genese that  augustus and i perfected."
