Silva had a feeling that Quin had something special in him. In fact, Silva had begun to think that there was something in his parents' history that would explain this.
Lia was a talented mage; she could cast the most sophisticated spells at such a young age. Aside from that, she had a legacy—and a high-level one at that.
Even though Mike and Quin weren't born with legacies, they were talented—more talented than the people you would see around, and even more talented than people with basic legacies.
It was really unusual for Silva's parents to give birth to all talented kids. Silva was not directly related by blood, leaving his three siblings, and all of them were talented.
He made a mental note to look into the family history and see where his siblings were getting their genes from.
