((That's fine. I did come up with a way where the protege could stay around the same age as the twins. Perhaps Jarek kept real in-depth notes and what not about his "skills". And the kid, despite Jarek no doubt treating him like crap, came to see Jarek as his dad and respected him, due to Jarek likely being the only person the kid was allowed to see. He could find the notes when he gets a little older, or perhaps have possession of them the whole time, and then spends the gap between now and the future, basically teaching himself all that Jarek had planned to teach him before his death. And, for how he would come to know of Alica, Eden, Laine and all them. Maybe Jareks last entry was about his........time with Laine. Perhaps he even correctly predicted that Laine would end his life at some point, and this leads his protege to seek out vengeance or some such through what he does with the twins, and maybe even try something with Laine at some point. I even have a little idea for some infidelity on Laines part, in regards to the protege, if you're interested in hearing it. Heck, I even have an idea for infidelity on Krades part as well. Though, that would involve Narissa having a daughter as well as the son you want for Eden. Both ideas could easily be tied together, as Narissas daughter, unlike her son, wouldn't seem evil, but actually be good on the inside.........she'd be evil inside and out, and be working with Jareks protege to screw over Laine and the gang. OOO, I can't wait to get to the next generation. It's going to be so much fun.^_^))
