Twilight of a Hybrid, стр. 55
“Then those only memories will have to do,” said Sora, smiling. “But maybe I could help make new memories for you to remember.” Sora leaned her head against Valverno’s left shoulder. This caused Valverno to stop walking as his half-sister was seemly teasing him and maybe trying to get his attention instead of wanting him to look directly into the darkness.
However, the hybrid shook his shoulder for the new member to stay awake. “Hey, don’t get too comfortable,” said Valverno.
Sora laughed as she lifted her back up. “Hey? Isn’t that what we need animals with?’ she smiled. “Or did you mean you were trying to greet in another form of a hello? I’m curious as to why you’re trying to shove away your last family member?”
Then Marina barged between the half-siblings. The Siren angrily pushed herself between Valverno and Sora and separating the brother and sister in a madding mode. “Enough with your flirting,” she said. Marina gripped Valverno’s right arm tightly, making sure her husband wasn’t trying to be seduce by Sora.
Valverno and Sora took this by surprise as Marina by between the brother and sister. “Marina, what are you doing?” he asked. Valverno’s arm was stuck tight in Marina’s clutches. He couldn’t understand why his fishy wife was acting so fishy against Sora. He and Sora were just having some sibling bonding time, and the Siren had to become in obstacle. The hybrid had just lost his patience when Marina trotted into the Valverno’s and Sora’s conversation. “Marina, explain what is happening here.”
Marina looked Valverno closely in his eyes. “I don’t want you to be taken by this stranger. You’re married to me and only to me. No other female specimen taking you away from me: your new beloved Siren wife.”
Sora gave the Siren a mean glaring eye gaze. “I wasn’t trying to steal him,” said Sora. “It has been more than ten thousand years since I lost seen him, and I just wanted to get to know everything about him in the seventeen years he’d awakened before I woke six months ago.”
Marina gave a mean glare look of her own at Sora. “Still, this hybrid is married to me, and only to me. No other girl can marry him.”
Valverno found himself being fought over two female family members. He pulled his arm free from Marina’s grip. “Until I deem certain circumstances, both of you keep your distance from me and get to know each other first before I end up disowning you both from this family. Get to know each other first before you start killing each other.”
Valverno walked passed Marina. As he was passing her, his tail moved the Siren closer to Sora. “I don’t need any female family members fighting over me,” he said. Valverno stopped his pacing and looked at Sora and Marina with his crimson eyes. “We can have a little family reunion when we get back to the surface, but I can’t have you two argue in this underground cave. There is for certain danger will be lurking deeper in this cave and we all have to be ready to fight any monsters or face any kind of obstacle in our way. But no more fighting and get to know each other, because you people are sisters-in-laws now.” Valverno turned his head forward and continued to walk in the darkness, with the floating torches lighting the way.
The two girls looked blankly at each other. In their eyes, some horrible hostility had reflected at each other, and their eyes were ready to kill each other for the hybrid.
“And before I forget,” said Valverno, stopping again. He turned his full face toward Sora and Marina. “Since I am a husband, a big brother, and a son of the King of Gods, I am founding of a new household name, my household demigod: Mordnarù. Marina, you are now called Marina Mordnarù.
“And you, my sister, shall be named: Sora Mordnarù. And Marina is named: Marina Mordnarù. And I am the head of Mordnarù House like Geraldus Cornelius is the head of Cornelius House. This is my order as a demigod and the Prince of the Gods, since the Crystal Dragon is a god and Ruler of the Gods.” Valverno once again turned his face in the direction of the dark tunnel and walked forward.
Everyone behind him looked confused as to what he had just said completely blankness, especially Sora and Marina who just heard they had become part of a new family name and Valverno seemed to have crowned himself the king of the family.

The group travel a bit further inward. They walked for quite some time with a feeling they walked for hours. It happened to be long hours that passed before the group came to a long archway with ruined statues seemly to be guarding the arch. Valverno raised a hand and another fire was set ablaze on his skin. He and the others entered through a large cavern.
Valverno spat several more sparks of fire. More floating torches of fire had spread out across the cavern. Light brighten the dark space of the cavern and the group’s eyes could see they stumbled across a mile long dome shaped cavern.
The cavern’s walls were covered in large and small paintings of animals. Hundreds of paintings rose dozens of feet in the air. Toward the central curved sides, these had shown different forms of animals battling against other animals. Three thinly stretched figures of two humans and a dragon had been placed in the dead center with blue-white waves toward the animals depicting in battling.
On the lower ends showed more humanlike figures living peacefully while the animals above the human figures showing signs of bitterness and hostility.
Valverno couldn’t believe his eyes as he was seeing ancient paintings reaching so high above the
