Vincent finds his wife and generation 6 is born.

2. If I’m going to build an empire I will need heirs. So after my trip to
Egypt I came home and finally found the one who will help me with
that heir problem.

3. I found her at the Winter Festival of all places, the way the snow fell
on her black hair, the way she smiled and laughed, it was love. I had
to know where she had been my whole life. Li, my future wife. She
knew all about my career, it didn’t bother her. She also knew that
our time together would be short as I would never die, and she
would.

4. Vincent: I am ready for another session grandpa.
Li Sung: I’m sure you are my boy…but I don’t think that’s going to happen.
Vincent: Why?

5. Vincent: Grandpa!!
Marie: Daddy!!
Celia: My love…I’ll be joining you soon. I won’t stay here without you.

6. The downside to immortality…this is what awaits for everyone who
comes after me…mother is devastated at losing her father, grandma
has given up and will join grandpa soon, if not immediately. And my
father? He will have to watch mother go just like this…and so will I
with Li.

7. Vincent: I hate having to see this…
Alfred: Good bye, father. I will miss you so much…you took me in as
your son and were always good to me. I’ll never forget that.

8. Grandma gave up her ties to this world the next day after grandpa
went. Mother lost both her parents one after another. Grandma was
cheated out of a decent headstone because she was already a ghost.
It makes me mad to see her with that sad, grey box.

9. How much more can my mother take?

10. I wasn’t going to waste anymore time. I asked Li to marry me so my
mother could have something happy to look forward to. And I
needed it too, I wanted to have those kids as soon as I could so I
could focus on building my own crime family empire.

11. Li: I’m sorry about your grandparents Vince. Truly, I am.
Vincent: Thank you, but now we can make my mother happy again. I
don’t want to wait, I don’t want a party, I just want to marry you.

12. Li: Alright. I’ll do it. I’m not much for big affairs and parties either.
Vincent: I’m so glad we’re on the same page with this. I think we’re
doing the right thing.

13. Alfred: Are you sure you want to do this? I can make you into a
fairy…Marie…we can stay together until the end.
Marie: I’m sure. Our son just got married and I think it’s time I
looked like a grandmother, don’t you?

14. Alfred knew this day was coming, his wife’s black hair was now
silver, her posture was slightly hunched, and she was slower getting
around. He still looked the same as he did when he first met her so
long ago.

15. His parents were gone, his in-laws were gone, his younger siblings
were now getting older than he looked, his wife just got old and his
son just got married…he may not show it but he felt old and weary
far beyond his years.

16. Marie: Don’t look so sad my love. I’m happy to have made it this far
with you. I don’t have any regrets and we have grandchildren to look
forward to as well, so try to be happy for us.

17. Alfred: You’re right…I shouldn’t be sad. It is still a good life we have.
He only said that to reassure his wife, but inside he still couldn’t let it
go.

18. Marie: I love you Alfred Hoppcraft. I always will.
Alfred: And I love you Marie Atredius, I was always meant to.

19. Time moves on and while Li was tending to Marie’s garden she felt
the bump of new life and the fulfilment of having a Perfect Garden.
Her mother in law’s hard work helped her out a lot with her own
lifetime wish.

20. At a game of chess alone it was soon time for Li and Vincent to
welcome the first of the sixth generation to the Atredius family. Marie
was ready and waiting for her grandchild to come but somehow
seeing Li reminded her of how she felt with Vincent so many years
ago.

21. And when Vincent and Li
came back with twin boys,
Marie was overjoyed to see
her new grandsons. After
being only allowed one child
for so long it felt over due.
But since Vincent was not
one to follow the law, he
wanted more than two. The
same thing happened when
her sister Diara came along
and her grandmother’s
brother Ipicles was born.
This family was not one for
rules and law from the
beginning.

22. Marie held Bugsy in her arms as she lay him into his crib. His twin
brother Al was a vampire like Vincent. Bugsy was human like his
mother and like her. They never got the chance to see if Alfred’s
fairy genes would be passed down to them. They had lost the
founder’s witchcraft long ago.

23. Bugsy Atredius is a Light Sleeper and he Loves the Outdoors.
His favourites include Pancakes, Egyptian music, and the colour
White. He also inherited his mother’s stunning cheekbones that
Marie loved. They made her face look so elegant and now her
grandson will carry it on.

24. His identical twin brother Al Atredius is a Virtuoso and Evil. His
favourites include, Stu Surprise, Western music, and the colour
Spice Brown. If it weren’t for the fact that Al is a vampire he would
be mistaken for Bugsy. He has the same cheekbones as his twin
brother and his mother.

25. The twins found the activity table downstairs and like all twins they
do everything the same, even play with the same coloured blocks.

26. Meanwhile, Alfred was brooding silently about how it would soon be
his turn to experience heartbreak. He put on a good face when Marie
was around but in private he was terrified of losing her. How was he
expected to get through it then help his son through it when Li goes?
A father should be able to comfort his child, right?

27. His mind wandered to other things, alien worlds, space ships, the
stars above…it helped to zone out thinking about it. It meant he
didn’t have to deal with it right now.

28. Vincent and Li made some time for themselves and took a trip on
one of Alfred’s inventions. They took a trip to the past and when no
one was in the barn, it suddenly opened up and someone, a young
woman, tried to climb out of it.

29. She was being hunted in her time for being “unclean” and a servant
of the Devil. She had inherited Vincent’s vampiric genes and in her
time, they were hunted down and nearly extinct.

30. Bonnie Atredius looked a lot like her grandmother Marie and had the same honey blond
hair as her grandfather. She was also one who Loves the Outdoors, and a Bookworm,
she was Artistic, Rebellious, and a Cat Person. Her favourites include Mushroom
Omelets, Hip Hop music, and the colour Aqua like her grandfather. Her LTW is to
become an Illustrious Author. And perhaps, she can do it in her parents’ time.
