"I assumed that they extracted that story out of you," Temperance says "or that some combination of you are robots or clones from the alternate magic-less future. Anyway, I could tell the story."
She glanced around to get confirmation from the men, they nod in agreement.
"The shortish version in chronological order: Stephen, Our father, used to work for the old magical conspiracy," Temperance started explaining "he killed a few of times, albeit it was self-defense. He later left the job, got a new identity and married Mary Jane, they had the twins, Ezra and Arya" She points at Ezra "Stephen cheated even back then, just so you know he always a jerk. Anyway, Stephen's dad got cancer and without any other available magical cure, Stephen tried to make a deal with a Trader," She points upwards "but due to a combination of Stephen being a wanted man by the conspiracy, the fact that he has killed mages and cheated on his wife caused the Trader to ask either all of Stephen's magic or... Stephen could give only a fraction of the magic andhave three more magical kids, as a way to replace the mages he killed. Father decided to go with the second option and not even tried to convince Mary Jane to have more kids, instead he married Sophia and lived a double life. Mary Jane eventually figured out the situation and they divorced. Stephen then married my mom and kept the double life until Sophia figured it out herself, but by that time she already pregnant with Adam who is the youngest."
After a pause she adds.
"I once helped Adam make a tridimensional family tree for a school project," Temps says.
