Chapter 96: Hidden Lessons

"What's wrong with me, Burt?!" Alaric asked in a nervous voice. The nurse and Eli had their mouths wide open.

Burt told the both of them, "leave us for now please."

Eli and the nurse both left, leaving Burt and Alaric alone in the medical room.

Alaric's face reflected fear as unknown feelings and abilities assaulted his body and mind.

Burt took a heavy breath and said, "I need you to stay calm Alaric and listen to what I have to say. What you're going through has never happened to anyone before, but there was someone very similar I knew who gained a lot of knowledge about monsters. His name is Inian, and he is your father."

Alaric's eyes bulged out of their sockets, "my...father? Is? Is he still alive?"

Burt nodded, "he is. Your father is the one known as the Demon King."

Alaric's mind flashed back to his dream and the sight of the figure that wrapped itself around with its wings.

'That...was my father?!'
