Sevet is of the belief that children always should pick their bedtime stories. But he is always glad to tell this story. The story of lake Milliways.
"It's not consistent between worlds. Just someone who has use for healing."
"Yes, little one. If you were anyone else I would not dream to share what I will share: they end up hating being seen as weak, specially because of her powers. They have intensively mixed feelings about their healing, but ultimately want to forge themselves stronger. It's a mindset that worries me, you can't be strong all the time. Or keep people out."
"Then there is the third one of that branch. Who is often our youngest child, sometimes with a larger age gap with the others. But he is also something of a old soul."
"Serious and composed since very early age. Sometimes grumpy. Unlike all of their siblings they are not fan of adventures. They just want to hone their music and tinkering hobbies while the family is safe."
"Yes. Our third spouse, the green-branch and our only child by them."
"Alright, alright. The green-branch spouse - we only have seen her as a woman, so I will just call her she - is very practical, pragmatic and composed. Out all of our spouses I would say that she is the most likely to cooperate. White-branch... submits. Black-branch will burn bridges rather than cooperate."
He takes the younger one silence as a sign to continue. "Now our only Green-branch child. Sometimes a girl, sometimes a boy, sometimes will actively use magic to change gender, always the most enthusiastic of magic nerds. They are actually very open to learning and experiencing everything, but magic is their one true passion. Sometimes I think of them as a blend of our other two firstborns. Adventurous, kind and curious."
Shrug. "Our involvement with them tends to be briefer than the others. Maybe whatever force of fate that causes our similarities also drives us apart. But... well, I did say she was practical and... we do cheat on them all."
Lord Grayhunt and his shadows observe.
"We love all of our kids, but we are not proper fathers to them. Right down to the moment of their conception."
