“Rank 1 human?” Tista said. “How is that possible? When did it happen? More importantly, how did no one notice?”

“Because we are all idiots.” Lith replied. “Big Sis told us her story. She gave up on her Dragon nature, and she was a human back when she became an Abomination. Somehow, becoming an Eldritch restored her Dragon bloodline, but her base form was still human.”

“You are right!” Solus said. “Zoreth told us that she knew about human evolution when we went to Verendi with her, and that her four eyes were proof that our theory was correct.”

Everyone turned to Bytra, who just shrugged.

“I don’t see how this is relevant. Zoreth’s eyes have no powers, and her human side has never been of much help to her. Why are you making such a fuss?”

“Because this changes things a lot.” Tista paced the room. “We always considered Zoreth like a Dragon-Eldritch-troll hybrid. If we want to find a cure, we need to take her human side into account as well. When did she evolve?”

“She was already like that when she found me.” Bytra replied. “According to her, however, she developed the two extra eyes only after consuming her troll clone.”
