Tiberius knew now, just as he did that day of his graduation what need to be done, and who the Devil was that Elias spoke of.  But in what form had he returned? He had to be the one that was creating the hybrids in San Myshuno.  Was he was raising an army? He had to locate him and destroy him once and for all.  He remembered that day just before the incident, the day they buried his father…. his grandmother Aniceta’s warning…..

ANICETA- “The name Rocha means, “one who is from/of the rock".

“Like rocks, witches are created in the same manner- a metaphor actually. A rock is any naturally occurring solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter. It is categorized by the minerals included, its chemical composition and the way in which it is formed. 

These minerals are our “gifts’

The chemical compounds are the environment in which we are created.Or how we learn of those gifts and how they are to be used.

The name of your father, and his grandfather before him, Ulysses is a Latin and English variant of Odysseus. Odysseus is an ancient Greek name, derived from the Greek name Odyssesthai, which means 'full of wrath or to hate'. 

And have you not heard the story of Odysseus and the beautiful witch, Circe?

TIBERIUS - “How she turned his men into swine, and would have done the same to him? But he was forewarned by Hermes and instead kept company with her….”

ANICETA - “You know your ancient mythology...well your father Sully’s grandfather was Ulysses I. My father...His Circe was a witch by the name of Cicely. A beautiful princess of the coven, my mother. She used her gifts of beauty, passion and romance to persuade him to her and to become her husband. When her father died, she then ruled the coven and she made Ulysses her Prince. She loved him so much that she went as far to give him all her power and gifts, he in return took over her reign and her coven, and created  “swine” so to speak. He used the gifts for his own gain and pleasure, and the dark magics prevailed. Their coven soon was darkness. 

My mother began to turn against him and he wound up taking Cicely’s life. But her spirit returned to her son, my brother, Neville and warned him of his father. We escaped during the war of the witches where Ulysses was defeated, or so we thought. When we arrived here I learnt that I was with child. Neville now being the Prince, named my son ... your father, after our supposedly dead father to remember him when he was good, before he took the magics and made them dark. But the evil was too strong, and Ulysses returned and Neville, was killed in a battle with Ulysses who had returned in in the body of his brother Antoin. He then took the body of my brother. That is when I and my son were banished. Ulysses spirit resides in my brother, and soon everyone feared him and his dark powers, but could not destroy him. When he left after you were born, no one knew where he went, or what he was doing. So I returned home to try and return the island back before the evil corrupted it. When he returned it was like my real father was back. I should had never trusted it. When evil inhabits the soul it is never the same after that....”

TIBERIUS- “Grandmother, do not blame yourself for this. He tricked everyone.”
