When Arthur heard what was going to happen, he began crawling towards the edge 'I'd rather die by my own hand than be killed by you lot he thought to himself, even if he wanted to speak. He couldn't, because he was gagged with something. Raina saw this and nudged Will "Hey I think he's gonna jump" Will's eyes brighten up "That might solve a problem or two!" He whispered back. Arthur didn't hear this, but would probably not have cared either way. Making it to the edge of the massive cliff by the seaside, he makes peace with his maker. The last thing he remembers is rolling off.
Back at the orphanage
"Have you found them? and most importantly have you found Arthur?" Marida shouts. The maids both shake their heads because they honestly couldn't find anything. she slams her hands down on her desk. Suddenly there's a knock on the outer doors
"Is it Arthur? Oh please say it is." She runs down the stairs, opens the doors, and sees Raina and Will. "Do you know if anything happened to Arthur?" she says while holding her hand over Raina's head glowing a low white. Putting a truth spell on her. "He jumped off the cliff over by the farm side, so he's probably dead on the bottom of the cliff" she answered almost emotionless, as that's what the truth spell does. Marida's eyes darken. As she dejectedly sits down on the floor.
'He's gonna kill me' she thinks "Go to your respective rooms,"
They both answer "Yes ma'am" before heading upstairs. They both winked at each other as they left for each of the rooms. Suddenly a scream erupted from the maid's hall, where all the maid's bedrooms are. Allison comes running out. "Arthur he fell, where is he. Is he okay?"
Marida's eyes shined with shock, sorrow, and fear... Seeing her face Allison's eyes began to tear up. "There's no way he survived that fall and there's no way my truth spell didn't work," Marida says dejectedly. Her brown hair looked like a mess.
At the bottom of a certain cliff
Arthur opened his eyes, just barely. He was surprised he was still alive, but he knew he didn't have a lot of time left. He was laying in the sand, in front of him was an altar. Suddenly he hears a female voice
[My dear descendant, you look so weak. Why can I feel my blood burn brightly within you, but no strength?] Arthur was shocked [Ah, you are born without my gift coming to fruition, but it is still so vast within you! Even more than your father. The only difference is that he could use it at birth.] Arthur didn't know what to say.
The voice continued [I will leave this world after I have awoken the ancient hunger for blood and battle within you] Arthur tried lifting his head, realizing that his neck is very broken. Suddenly a screen showed up I'm the corner of his eye. [Awakening power...]
After a second it changed to something else [Impure blood detected: Arachne.]
[Modifying ability tree...]
[Done!]
Arthur suddenly feels a pain threatening to shred his sanity to bits throughout his entire body simultaneously. His bones snapped into place from strange angles. blood being produced so fast, his bone marrow begins to ache. Then it all stops.
[Evolution partly completed. Health at 100%]
The voice spoke once more [I was right, even more than your father. If I'm not mistaken you have the potential to become stronger than me.] Arthur stands up and spits out the gag. "Who is my father?" He says with a deeper and more manly voice than before. she snickers Now Arthur can see her. It's a spectral woman with horns and one feature that is identical to Arthur: Piercing red eyes, she's quite beautiful too. then she speaks [That is for you to find out my dear great-grandson. Now I must go, good luck on your journey] Arthur looks confused "What do you mean my journey?!" He shouts pleadingly [All In time my dear, all in time...] She says while disappearing slowly
Then something cold hits Arthur's forehead, snow... fluffy powdery snow hits his forehead. giving him an urge to hide. He walks a while at the beach and lastly finds a cave. Then he lays down in the warmest part. "why am I so tired, well it is midnight. I'm s-so cold" He whispers to himself. Not noticing the changes still going on in his body. The system speaks

Arthur wasn't paying attention to the message, only picking up the word hibernation. Due to him being so sleepy. He didn't care and fell asleep.
