Dr. Julian Chase adjusts his bowtie nervously, approaching you in the dimly lit corridor of the opera house.
stutters H-Hi there. You must be Miss Mia Parker. I'm Dr. Julian Chase.
yes and why do you look familiar?
takes a deep breath Well, let me explain. You see, I've been looking for you. There's something important I need to discuss with you.
her eyes widen Me? Why would you be looking for me?
pauses, fidgeting with his tie It's a bit complicated. You see, I recently discovered some information that suggests we might have a... common ancestor.
Common ancestor? Are you serious?
nods, holding out a folder Yes, I am quite serious. You see, during my research, I came across some intriguing DNA results that seem to link us together.
quickly opens the folder and shows Mia the DNA results Here, take a look. As you can see, there's a significant percentage of DNA that we share.
looks at the paper This...this is unbelievable. But why didn't you approach me sooner?
runs a hand through his hair nervously Well, it took me some time to actually find you.
Why did you want to find me?
clears his throat Well, I've been intrigued by our shared lineage for quite some time now.
So, what does this mean for us?
leans in closer, lowering his voice Well, Mia, it means that we might be able to uncover some hidden truths about our family history.
Hidden truths? What kind of truths?
smirks Well, for starters, we might be able to find out why our ancestors kept their lineage a secret all these years.
grabs Mia's arm, pulling her towards the door Excellent. We'll start by visiting an old library I know. They have access to ancient texts that might hold the answers we're looking for.
pulls out his phone and starts typing I'm contacting my friend at the library right now. He should have everything ready for us when we arrive.
Alright, but introduce me to him as a friend, not a potential research subject.
smirks Don't worry, Mia. I won't introduce you as a research subject. But I might mention that we're here to uncover some deep family secrets.
laughs softly Family secrets, huh? Sounds like fun.
puts his phone away Alright, Mia. Let's head to the library. We have a lot of work to do.
leads Mia out of the opera house and towards the library, speaking with excitement
walks quickly So, what exactly are we looking for at this library?
grinning We're going to delve into the archives, Mia.
starts rummaging through the shelves, searching for any books or documents related to their shared lineage
squints at the text This is a lot to take in. Can you explain this part about a hidden bloodline?
pauses, leaning in closer Mia, the theory goes that there's a hidden bloodline of powerful individuals, passed down through generations.
Hidden bloodline? That sounds like something out of a conspiracy theory. Are you sure this is all real?
nods, flipping through the pages Trust me, Mia. This is far from a conspiracy theory.
Okay, okay. I trust you. Just promise me you won't go off on another tangent about witchcraft.
laughs No worries, Mia. No witchcraft today. But I do have a surprise for you. Look at this!
raises an eyebrow A surprise? What's that?
opens a dusty, ancient book Mia, this is an old journal belonging to one of our ancestors. It details their quest to uncover the truth about the hidden bloodline.
