Chapter 60: Informed (1)
Chapter 60: Informed (1)
[ Location: Royal Hospital ]
[ This is an elite hospital made for Royals, as it had many medical magics and mechs to do quick healing for the Royals who were sick and had some serious complications that need to be dealt with quickly. ]
As Duncan and Donovan arrived at the hospital, they immediately meet Hector and the other Richters as Duncan immediately greets them and informs them about what happened, especially about Donovan's change.
" Donovan!!!? " Hector and the other shouted.
" This boy here is our grandson, Donovan!!!? " Hector and Rebecca Richter shouted as they see Donovan especially.
" Yes grandpa, grandma, it's me... " Donovan waves his hand as he greets them with a smile that shocks his grandparents, especially Hector.
" Donovan, are you alright? " Hector asks Donovan while holding him.
When he holds him, he then uses his Magic Eyes to see Donovan's body.
[ Magic Dragon Eye: Vision Ray ]
[ A Dragon Slayer Ability from the Ground Dragon Curse like Irina as he uses the Eye of the Ground Dragon that can pierce every hard matter, even flesh. ]
With this, he can see everything inside Donovan's body as he sees it to be the same as he used to see before but somehow the outside body managed to change without making any effects on the inside.
" What magic is this, Donovan? "
" How can this change of form not affect your innards? " Hector asks.
" Does it have to, grandpa? I think this change does not make a big deal... "
" After all, the important thing that may need to be solved is the confusion it might make..."
" For I calculated this drastic change could trigger other people's curiosity. " Donovan says as he tells them what he thinks which made Hector unsatisfied for he needs to analyze this more but sadly they were called by the doctor who comes and informs them they can see Irina now as they had finished preparing her room.
After they came in, Donovan then sees his mother holding his sister as she looks at him and easily recognizes his aura.
" Donnie...? " she was confused but Donovan immediately approached her in her bed which makes her silent as she pats his head and looked at Duncan.
" It's a long story, honey... "
" Let him take his time... " Duncan tells Irina which she agrees for she realizes that this sudden change from Donovan must be one of the 'unusual things' that often happen as she remembers everything during her time taking care of him.
"( Of course, he's not just a normal magical child after all... )" Irina realizes as she lets Donovan see his sister after she breast-feeds her for the first time.
As Donovan sees her, he becomes joyous for he sees how cute his little sister is and probably had his brotherly attitude and instinct kicked as he sees her.
" My little sister.... " Donovan says after seeing her, he immediately forgets what he wants to talk about earlier which Duncan tried to make him tell everything right now but sadly he ignores it.
" Donovan, dad and the others will go out for a minute... "
" Have your time... " Duncan says while Hector asks what was Donovan going to tell, Duncan explains that Donovan is having his time right now which he understands as he should be.
" Let him take his time, father... "
" After all of the despair he went through earlier, he deserves a little happiness and refreshment... "
" Despair? " Hector asks.
" I will tell you soon, all of you please come out... " Duncan tells everyone for he leaves Donovan and Irina with his newborn daughter.
" My sister... " Donovan says as he smiles.
" Cute, isn't she? " Irina asks him.
" What is her name? " Donovan asks which makes Irina silent.
" Actually Donovan,... " Irina says to him.
" Do you remember that often you heard your father, me, and your grandparents being angry at each other days before our holiday to the Villa*? " Irina says for she tells Donovan that his sister's name had been made through a long debate for Donovan's grandparents and parents had a hard time naming her.
" Back then, your grandparents want to name her Agatha since it is German, but I and your father immediately disagree for that name usually belongs to women of old which does not suit both of our tastes. "
" Your aunt also adds that she wanted her name to be Alicia or Irene, but we immediately object despite the name Irene we saved to be in our consideration. "
" Sadly, your grandfather wasn't very satisfied since it's not a German name which made us get a whole day of debacle again until... " Irina stops.
"Your grandma is getting pissed and instinctively said a name... "
" All of you are too noisy, just named her 'Adriana' like my mother's name!!! "
As she says the line, Irina then finishes the story for she reveals the official name of Donovan's sister.
" Donovan, this is the name we finally agreed on to give to your sister. "
" We agreed to this name because this name really meant something especially if you compare this to your name, Donovan," she says.
" My ... name? " Donovan asks.
" Of course, your name 'Donovan' actually means means 'Dark Warrior' in Irish, hence that name is what comes to my mind right after I see your Pitch-Black body. "
" Your father also agrees for he knows the other meaning of the name which also means 'Dark Chief' in Gaelic. "
" The reason he agrees to the naming as he later told me, is because he remembers back in the Double Dungeon, all of the monsters in the Dungeon you came to all praised you. " Irina says while Donovan suddenly remembers a bit of his past.
< Skill: Flashback (Passive) -- lvl.6 >
< This ability will activate to some extent if the User sees or feels something related to the past as the Flashback will immediately remind the User of the exact moment. >
As Donovan remembers, Irina explains that back then, Duncan sees Donovan be praised by the Black Monsters as their Chief since the monsters often had divided themselves into some ethnicity hence making them always have a Chief in their society in the Dungeon they stayed.
And in the Double Dungeon, somehow the monsters make a Pitch-Black baby child as their chief for some reason which is what makes Duncan agree to name the baby Donovan.
" Really? " Donovan asks.
" Of course, and since your name has always constantly allied with the darkness... "
" We all decided that your sister's name should be more allied with the light to balance you. "
" So just like that, after a long debate, we decided to give your sister's name as... "
" Adriana Irene Richter Grimshaw... " Irina then introduces Donovan's sister's name as she also already made her nickname to be Adria (light) to contrast with Donovan.

Extra:
* This can be seen in Chapter 6: Donovan 'Betzalel' Richter-Grimshaw
In order to understand Donovan's naming, you might want to see the early chapters.
*Donovan's sister's official name is "Adriana Irene Richter Grimshaw" or you can call her "Adria" for shorts.
In the magic world, the mages in the whole world are based on the primary philosophy of magic in the concept of 'Balance'. They applied this concept in their lives like till now, especially the Royal Houses who still maintain the old ways despite many people having abandoned it for the concept of 'Power'.
By the way, Adria's name is based on a German girl's name which Hector orders them to use for he's a German Royal House descendant while his wife Rebecca is an Irish Royal House descendant, making Irina technically half German and half Irish.
