--An) Another Chapter will be out later. Have an early docs appointment.--
"If it will give me some answers, then I see no reason not to." I wanted to know what was going on with my mother and why she was suddenly changing as she was. It made no sense to me. She was always strong and powerful in my eyes as I was growing up. Seeing her so weak now made my heart hurt for her.
I once again formed a summoning circle, and with Diablo's help, a woman in a white lab coat stood there with a set of black feathered wings and a black halo over here. She was glaring at both Diablo and me as if we had just committed a very big sin.
"Why did you summon me!? I was in the middle of an experiment! I bet my house blew up!" This was who Diablo called Freidinia. The demon world's top researcher and demon king of her own territory.
"I needed your help to assist my wife," Diablo stated firmly, causing Freidinia to stare at Diablo in disbelief.
"Did…. Did you just say, wife!? What has the world come to!? Now even Diablo, who is known for hating all contact with any living being, now has a wife!? Wait until the other kings hear of this. Anyway, I am busy, so I am off... Wait…. Why can't I go back!? What the hell is this!?" Freidinia yelled out. She turned and glared at me while pointing her finger at me: "You! Fix this now and send me back!" Freidinia was like a whirlwind changing topics one after another.
I shook my head as I answered: "This I can not do. I need your help with an issue that has been plaguing my mother. If you can help solve it, I will give you a lab filled with all the things you can ever want to do experiments with."
"What!? I was in the middle of a breakthrough experiment in a special drug that will make all men stand up for hours on end!" Freidinia yelled out, but after she yelled these words, her face turned red. I walked over and whispered into her ear and she quickly nodded her head: "Deal! You better not be lying to me!"
"Nope, she has a spell that, if you can replicate it, will do the things you want," I reassured. I can only apologize to Sei, her little secret is now out.
"Then deal!" Freidinia reached out and shook my hand to seal the deal. While we were both smiling, Diablo looked confused. At any rate, I had come to a deal with Freidinia, so I quickly showed her the image of my mother's stats window.
"This…. Ancient gods race? Why is there such a thing here?" Freidinia tilted her head to the side as she looked at the numbers. "I can say that there is nothing wrong with your mother other than her bloodline might be awakening, but I would need to see her to be sure and would draw some blood from her if that is fine. Luckily I always keep a spare equipment set in my space, or I wouldn't be able to help you. Can you give me a room to set up a lab?"
"Yes, follow me. I already have a medical wing set up with many of our kingdom's current medical equipment. But I am sure it is pretty crude to your standards." I had long set up a part of the house in case of emergencies where people who were sick or hurt could go to get some healing. Grace usually manned it since she was the only healer we had, but it still had everything one could ask for from any current medical facility.
When we arrived, I noticed Freidinia's face sink. "Such trash! Well not like I will be using your things anyways. Please move all of this stuff out of here. Later I will build an underground lab for safety reasons. Also, have your mother come see me. I want to examine her."
I followed Freidinia's instructions and had the whole room cleared out of anything Freidinia did not want there before she began setting up some really high tech looking equipment. I thought she was a scholar, but she seemed more of a scientist. I looked at Diablo with a questioning gaze. "Freidinia is the demon realm's top researcher. But she does research on many different ancient races. I knew I had seen the language in her office one day, so that is why I had you call her. It seems it was right for me to do so."
"Do you know anything about the ancient gods race?" I asked.
"No, I never read up on them," Diablo answered.
"They are a race of offspring that were birthed between other races and some god. But ever since the gods disappeared, the offspring disappeared as well. At least, this is what I have read. Where is your mother?" Freidinia asked.
"She is being brought over by my brother," I answered, and as if on cue, my mother was being helped over by my brother. She seemed frightened when she saw Freidinia but eased her expression when she saw me. She even ran over and hugged me tightly. I figured this would happen. I still do not understand her obsession with clinging on to me, but maybe we can find some answers somehow through Freidinia's examination.
"Let me take some blood first. This way, I can get an idea of where things are with her bloodline." Freidinia said as she walked over with a needle. My mother shook her head without saying a word and hid behind me, causing me to sigh as I gently pulled her back around me.
"Mother, she will only take a small sample of your blood. We need to do some tests. I will be with you the entire time, so do not worry, okay?" I spoke softly in hopes of comforting her. Luckily it seemed to work because she nodded and stretched her arm out.
