As much as I was curious as to what my mother might spew out to the girls while I wasn't around, I was not insensitive enough to eavesdrop on their conversation. To kill some time, I followed my father deep into the woodlands to a place where the sky was reflected on the earth by a serene lake, a place that was quiet and peaceful.

Dad looked back at me and gestured for me to sit by his side. And as I nestled down on a nearby rock, I first noticed the size difference between us.

When I was crippled and frail, Dad always seemed like a giant. From my weak perspective, his bulging muscles and indomitable figure were akin to a bear. Yet, as I sat by his side, I didn't feel the same suppressing pressure as I usually did.

One reason for this change was my growth in size. When I was crippled, my growth was heavily stunted, and I couldn't reach my maximum potential. However, now that I had turned into a Vampire and a Progenitor no less, I could now measure up to my bear-like father.
