Every night Erich would pop a pill which contained the essence of fate, which Tia had extracted from the brain matter of a dead sage. And every night, his abilities grew. By now, he was able to see a full hour into the future.
And while he began to see through the schemes of the sages during these dreams, which were empowered by the drug. He knew with almost certainty when and where the spy of his enemies would be.
Thus, Erich waited a day in and day out for the day to finally arrive. And during this time, he spent a significant amount of time with his wives. Before long, Mala had given birth to her first brood of half-orcs, with a grand total of five children.
Three sons and two daughters. Erich was utterly dismayed by how many children had come out at once. He was already an absent father to his son with Erika, but now he had an additional five little bastards who would be waging war by the start of the next decade.
