3rd person view
"Jet, you need to learn how to do that, would be great for hunting" Lucas said
"Rosie can do it, but I can't bring him here since he would scare people" Eleanor responded "We better get to him quick, he might just slip away before we notice"
"Wally, guide us please" Professor Emma asked

"I just heard the bird said that he recognize my smell from the shampoo I use, crap!"
-Your sense of hearing has improved- Dabria said
-Well becoming stronger got its perks-
"You do smell very nice," Cordelia commented "Like mango and sweet fruits"
"Thank you, but I don't think that I can escape from an awkward conversation now that they know I'm here, damn that bird and his good smelling senses"

"You can stop with your disguises" Professor Steel said "We know it's you"
"Sorry you must have mistaken me for another person"
"How did you even get in?!" Professor Emma asked "They don't allow random strangers to come in here"
"Kid, answer us, I swore to bash your head in for exposing my secret relationship with Lauren the next time we meet, so better answer us quick before I plan to act on it" Professor Steel threatened "I don't mind being suspended from coming into this library for a couple of months"
"Yeah, you could have at least made one last visit to us before you leave" Lucas added
"Might as well admit it now" Cordelia suggested "As entertaining it is to see him bash your head in, I do not want to make a commotion"
"That voice..." The professors wanted to bow to her but was stopped
"Don't, we're not in Neelofar, so no need to be so formal, I'm just accompanying Perseus" Cordelia said "And I do not want to cause a commotion"
"What's up guys! Been a short while since we all met"
"That's your response?" Eleanor asked
"Professor Emma, the romance section is that way, if you want suggestions, I would suggest to ask professor Woods' son, Robert, he usually sneak off to a quiet corner to read them alone and leave a small trace of magic on the page he's at as a book mark"
"Let's not discuss on how you find that out" Professor Emma facepalmed "And definitely not question how you get in here"
"Perseus...correct me if I'm wrong, but...are you a corrupted?" Professor Green asked which surprised everyone
I then sensed a life presence inside Professor Greens as I then use my eyes to confirm it.
-She's pregnant, isn't she?-
-Yes, seems like it also wasn't that long ago- Dabria answered -7 weeks at most-
-Having these eyes are like a gift, I can sense life forces much easier now-
-Of course, I'm the goddess of life and death, these things are necessary for me and you got it too- Dabria replied
"Oh seems like you're pregnant, professor Green, congratulations, and from the even more surprised look of Professor Steel, it seems like you haven't told him yet. I can also tell you the gender, if you like"
"What the... first things first, kid answer her question, are you a corrupted?" Professor Steel tried to calm himself down
"Well long story short yes"
"What the hell happened?!" he asked
"Quiet down professor, we're in the library. And I'm sure you can use whatever gadgets you have with you to check me right now, it's not forbidden magic, I'm a naturally turned corrupted"
-Not really but not like they can diagnosed it correctly either-
The professors then confirmed my statement.
"You really are a corrupted...oh gods" Lucas held his head
"It's mostly fine, I just get urges inside my head that tell me to eat everyone that walks by me sometimes, but mostly I'm fine"
They then backed away in fear.
"I'm lying, though if any of you are going to convince me to go back, don't, the king might actually kill me this time, no one would feel safe with a corrupted in their kingdom"
"Ours does" Cordelia responded "We don't mind any race as long as you don't plan to harm the kingdom, you're fine"
"You seem to take this in well"
"I can tell that there's many secret that you keep to yourself, honestly I expected worse, like maybe you're actually some sort of being summoned by the gods from another world or something, judging from your usual appearance, not that I mind if it was true" she shrugged
| Wow, I'm quite impressed |
-Yeah, me too- Dabria agreed
-Lucky that plot armor isn't a hoodie today then-
"So anyway, congratulations on having your child, Professor Green and Professor Steel, we will now be on our merry way"
"Stop right there" Professor Steel said "This library will definitely have a private room for more discussion, I can't let you leave without answering some of our questions"
"Cordelia, are you okay with that?"
"Yes, go ahead" she answered
*****
"Ok first question, how long have you been a corrupted?" Professor Steel asked
"A few days after I left, it was a very painful process you know"
"Where are your bonds?"
"Outside, they're watching out to warn me in case there's danger"
"Are they corrupted too?"
"Oh yeah"
"Last question from me" He then stared me right into my eyes "There was a case of a strong energy detected in a forest far away, very sinister, were you involved or at least know of the incident?"
"Of course, it was my process of turning into a corrupted, a corrupted dhampir to be precise, and as I mentioned before, super painful, definitely would not recommend it"
"How long have you been struggling with it? When did you start to notice yourself becoming a corrupted?" Professor Green asked
"Oh not long"
"How do you keep control of yourself? And from the sounds of it, you and your bonds manage to keep your rationality, were you perhaps contacted by the seekers again? Did they tell you how to control it?"
"The seekers, I like that short nickname but no, this is a very natural process, I turned and my bonds started turning too"
"Do you really have no plans on returning?"
"Yeah, you'll definitely have to report this to the headmaster, who will report it the king, he already has it for me, so the moment I do step inside the kingdom is the moment where he can take me out, but that won't happen since he'll be too weak to stop me. And I will have to kill him, in which would ruin my future plans"
