"You'll be very similar to Valeron, but not identical." The Overlord shook her head. "Take my children, Sinmara and Surt. Their apex form is still that of their parents, but they have gained different powers.
"Sinmara is a Phoenix of Darkness, the apex of her old Dark Phoenix bloodline, while Surtr is a Dragon of Light, the apex of his Fire Dragon bloodline. In the same way, the human race has one apex form, but your talents are only yours, Lochra."
"Thanks. I-" A quick rap on the door cut her short. "Come in!"
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I need your help." Friya gave her seniors a deep bow before walking through the door. "I've hit a tall wall with my research, but I can overcome it if you are willing to share your wisdom and experience with me."
"I can't speak for the others, but feel free to ask me anything you want." Menadion replied. "You've been a good friend to Lith and Epphy over the years, Friya. I owe you that much."
