Ta-da, the Odd Crest kin tree starting with the first disgrace in about 2,000 years

the years by each tier of the tree references what age that generation would be today if they’re still alive (as with Bhu’ja-Lulij)

the level of familial distance from M’hsi is measured by her forefathers, so the labels on Bhu’ja and Shokate’s generations don’t describe what they are to her

this first draft has those specifics, though

Chapter 3: Strength Excerpt

     "Scotty flipped through the pages until he got to the one about her parents. He stared at their picture for a long time. 'Damian Kiore?' he whispered. 'Where have I heard that name before?'

     Parker leaned forward and grabbed the folder. 'Your father was Japanese?' she nodded. 'You're a shape shifter!'

     'A what?'

     Noah scooted closer to look at the folder as well, squishing Michelle between him and Parker. 'A shape shifter, it means that you can become anything you want; like you did just a second ago when you changed your appearance. It comes in handy when you're in hiding,' Noah answered.

     'Damian Kiore! That's the guy we were fighting about before I left,' Scotty jumped in throwing the picture on the table.

     'Ok so what?' Noah said taking the picture and looking at it.

     'I told you he had a daughter and a wife, but nooo; you didn't want to believe me. Do you believe me now?!' he yelled.

     Noah blushed slightly. 'Well I obviously have to,' he exclaimed as he motioned towards Michelle.

     'Will someone please inform me on what's going on?' Michelle asked.

     'It's simple. You're father wasn't killed in a car accident! In fact he's not even dead; he's in Hell,' Scotty said standing up.

     'What?! How do you know?'

     Scotty took a deep breath. 'That's why I went to Hell. To find him and bring him back to prove to my thick headed brother that he was real.'

     Michelle shifted in her seat nervously. 'What's so important about my dad?'"
