Back in the real world Sammael make sure the 6 heretics he took from the prison world are still in a coma induced by magic.
After being sure the trip to the real world didn't weakened the spell he cast a very useful spell.
" Spatium Valvae. " chant Sam, what the spell do is basically folding space, allowing instant movement between a point A and a point B. Of course if you don't have a perfect mastery of the spell you could very well finish fused with a wall or a hundreds meters beneath the sea... This is why so very little witches and warlocks have the capacity to teleport.
Sammael teleport to one of his hideouts, the hideout looking much more like a labotory than a criminal hiding spot. Teleporting multiple persons at once is extremely taxing in magic. Sammael is probably the only being capable of teleporting more than 3 people simultaneously.
Before anything else, Sammael proceed to dissect on of the heretics, he note that there isn't any difference between them and a normal vampire.
But when he start to inspect their DNA with a microscope he immediately identify the witch's gene, the structure is extremely similar to his own.
He spent hours and collect all the information he can extract from the heretics. When he finish he already have an idea of what the 6 heretics could help him.
While their gene is certainly not as active as his own, it could be use to fully active it. Sam gene activation is approximately at 87%, but with these 6 lower versions of himself he can push it to almost 100%, precisely to 98.66%.
Without even contemplating morality and ethics issues, Sammael start to calculate the best course of action, a ritual is without a doubt going to be created but he still have to adjust to the last details the formula.
A single mistake or error in the ritual and the consequences on his gene could be desastrous. He certainly don't want to end up looking like an eldritch abomination. A human form is still necessary and after a thousand years he is attached to his physical appearance.
2 weeks later. Sammael's laboratory.
Sam dispose the bodies of the 6 heretics on a pentagram already drawn with doppelganger blood. While this ritual is certainly not going to be as dramatic and impressive as the previous he's done in the past, it will be just as useful.
" Incrementum." begin Sammael, the familiar glow appearing on the pentagram.
" Terminus Fractionis. " the bodies don't seem to react to the ritual, but on a molecular level its very clear that the ritual is working. Like with a case of irradiation the DNA of the heretics start to break down.
" Geneticae Evolutionis. " finish Sam, the bodies fall apart and liquefy. Inside Sam, his gene responsible of his siphonner ability start to modify a large part of his DNA.
Outside nothing have changed, but Sammael is changing, slowly evolving. Becoming something more on a genetically level, if someone where to take a look at his DNA he wouldn't understand what he was seeing.
Sam's DNA don't look human anymore, there is still piece of it but it's like he followed a totally different evolutionary road.
3 days later.
72 hours later, everything stabilize, the changes are finished. After doing test on himself, Sammael take note of what is new.
First his control over his magic, Telekinesis, Telepathy have increased again. But what really change with his magic is that now there isn't a chant or spell need. Thinking about the processus and the effect is enough. Of course he still have to exert his will to make it affect the world.
Second his siphonner ability have achieved a state of being constantly active without needing a conscient effort on his side. The rate of absorbtion and the capacity to store energy also increases. He can now absorb any kind of energy. He could theoretically absorb the full energy released by a nuclear explosion, and if his calculations are correct and they are then he can absorb 74% of the energy produced by the explosion of a star.
Third and most attractive point for Sammael is that his body can survive extremes environmental conditions. Like space, the atmosphere of Mars, walking on the surface of the sun is still a little out of his reach but he his close. Very close.
Before this ritual he could survive in space but he'll constantly died and regenerate in an endless circle until he totally adapt to it. The process of adaptation being slow he didn't want to take this step until he could explore space to his heart content.
2011. Mont Everest.
On the highest point in the world Sammael think about his next steps. He achieved a lot in the last 1000 years. But he has now become something so alien for the rest of the life form on earth that he can't help but ask himself what he is still doing on this planet. The Deorum de Terra, the organization he created does not have any use to him any more. The multiple times he interfered on human society seem pointless and futile now.
Why would he care about human exploration of the solar system and space when he can go and explore himself. Why would he care about their wars, theirs lifes, their deaths. Even now in a desolated place he can hear the thoughts of thousands of humans simultaneously. His mental prowess are so high that he have a perfect understanding of every knowledge ever acquired by the human race except a few subject he found irrelevant. His magical knowledge is unparalleled, surpassing Qetsiyah by a lot.
He have always been apathic to others, his purpose have always and will always be knowledge. Until today he found interesting to have conversations with intelligent men and women but it has diminish, only the smartest and most philosophical still give him intellectual stimulation. For him observing human is almost akin to observe and watch simple primates, predictable and boring.
If he want to evolve more, learn more, he'll have to severe his ties with earth. His trip begin in a small viking village, ignorant of everything, living a simple life, chained by mortality but where it will end he ignores it. Sammael don't have the pretension to say that he is omniscient but he certainly have become more wise and stopping here would be a mistake, there is still more to see and understand.
Feeling completely disconnected from humans, vampires, werewolves, witches is a strange thing.
His last gift to humanity will be the completion of the project. More for curiosity than goodness.
Standing up Sam snap his fingers and clothes appear on his naked form, stopping his own psychological analysis, he teleport back in his laboratory. He still have work to do before he can leave to explore the solar system.
Hybrid blood, contrary to Sammael expectations prove itself useful to understand how to incorporate and fuse monster DNA with humans. If you try to change a werewolf into a vampire, the magic of the vampire side can't integrate with the werewolf gene. Like fire and water, they are constantly fighting each other and this battle lead to the death of the werewolf.
But the blood of an hybrid like Klaus reveal a perfect fusion of the vampirism and werewolf gene. The spell tailored by Esther take the werewolf gene into the equation and didn't try to overpower the wolf gene. Unfortunately unless if the original spell is used then trying to change a werewolf will always end in the death of the subject.
The hybrid blood have the potential to accomplish the transition without death as result, but Sammael felt another magic in it. A curse, not surprising when you know the story of Niklaus, Esther didn't want to create a hybrid and she certainly didn't want thousand of them running around committing massacre.
April 14, 2011.
Studying the most recent discoveries made on Mars, Sam is brought back to reality by his phone. Taking a look at it he answer.
" Rebekah, to what do I owe the pleasure ? " ask Sammael still looking over the notes on Mars.
" Hello, Dr Bishop. " Rebekah say sarcastically.
" So you learned about this. I suppose Lena couldn't keep this to herself. But it doesn't tell me what do you want. " reply Sam without fluctuations in his voice.
" How could you do that to a child ! Even Niklaus wouldn't step so low. " Rebekah exclaim with anger and a touch of disgust.
" Will you get to the point, I am in the middle of something really interesting. " answer Sam who have disgard the notes, he's now testing a strange black viscous liquid.
" You really are the worst. You hide behind a mask of politeness but inside you are monstrous, a cunning and devious monster... " Rebekah flood of insult is interrupted by another voice.
" Dr Bi.. Sammael its me Elena, I want to speak to you. " interrupt Elena almost reflexively calling him Dr Bishop.
Sammael recognize immediately the lack of humanity in her voice, he have see so many vampire turning their humanity off, he can notice it easily.
" Very well. You have a few minutes, what do you want to talk me about. " Sam say with little interest in the answer.
" I lost control. Since I became a vampire my powers begin to grow and I frequently lose control. I want to know how to master my powers. You are the origin of it, so you must know how. " Elena explain with the same unfeeling voice.
" Experience and mastery over your emotional reactions. If you want to gain control you have to first master your emotions. As a child you couldn't do it, I hope you are less impulsive now. Good luck Elena Gilbert. " Sammael answer. Before he can hang up and focus all his attention on this fascinating black liquid he hear Rebekah voice again.
" Do you know about our brother ? Do you even care ? " Rebekah say with sadness.
" He's dead. Kol is dead. " She continue.
" I'm aware. " Sam respond as if it didn't concern him.
" Are you even a Mikaelson ? I don't want to ever see you again. " Rebekah add, her voice cracking a little. She hang up without letting him say anything in return.
Sammael knew, he knew the moment Kol died. The death of an original is not something discret, a whole ligne of vampires perishing is hard to miss. Thinking about Kol he remembers when he reveal the fact that he kept his magic to his family. Specially the reaction of Kol.
Flashback. 1821, New Orleans.
Sammael just admit to Klaus, Bekah, Elijah and Kol that he never lost his magic. While Klaus reaction was predictable, he was angry and jealous that Sam never was denied a part of himself like he was when their mother sealed his werewolf side, Sammael didn't predict the explosive way Kol react to the news.
Bekah and Elijah were happy, magic can be really useful and can sometimes be a life saver. They know it and they immediately realize that it as an enormous advantage for the Mikaelson's family, but Kol.
Kol wait to be alone with Sammael, when they were he start to express his rage, how unfair it was that he couldn't access his magic but Sam could.
" I was the one that deserve to keep his magic ! Not you, I love magic more than anything else and you. You... You gain immortality and kept your magic. " Kol cry with rage before he try to hurt Sam.
Blocking a punch then counterattack with kick to the abdomen. Sammael use his supernatural speed to get behind Kol and chokehold him. Sam physical strength is higher than a original, he could probably take three of his siblings without pushing himself or using his magic.
" Like always one of you dissapoint me, you could have try a numbers of way to gain your magic back, so don't push your inability to change your situation into a strange sense of righteous anger for me. Just like our siblings you can't evolved, immortality didn't forced you to stay stagnent and to never change mentally. You will forever be a dissapoint. " Sammael say coldly, he break Kol neck and decide to leave the New Orleans. He at least reveal a truth to them, pity Klaus and Kol take it personally, but it is not surprising.
End flashback.
After reminding this episode Sammael didn't spare another thought for Kol. The dead don't matter and the other side will allow Kol a chance to come back in the living world.
