Slight blood warning in Chapters 8 and 9
Varian and his dad, Quirin were on a walk in the village of Old Corona while Varian was explaining to his dad about his new hair and powers. “So I can control the black rocks now, Oh! I've also got this super cool new hair! And- wait, hold on a sec, lemmie back up- So first I took the moonstone and found out it made my hair glow and give me cool powers… And then the following full moon this stone just kinda…” Varian paused for a moment rubbing his chin “Well… Became one with my chest I guess. But after THAT it gave me this cool blue hair!” Varian then proceeded to excitedly flip his hair up.

“see?” he says as his dad nods and looks at his hair a little worried “Son…” Quirin says “I'm glad you're excited about all this. But I'm concerned your…” he looks around “New hair… might attract unwanted looks.” He says, causing Varian to raise an eyebrow in confusion “But dad… This can't really be helped. The Moonstone did this- not me. It's not like I can just click my fingers and it'll go away.” Varian says as Quirin nods and looks towards the sky “Look at the time.” he says “I best be off” Quirin then turns to leave for his duties leaving Varian dissapointed. He then gets an idea and yells out “Yeah! Okay! See you soon dad!” he quickly runs off back to his lab and gathers some liquid compounds, setting them up at his desk. He then turns to Ruddiger, who is stitting on one of the black rocks he had created to experiment on. “Okay bud,” Varian says picking up Ruddiger and placing him over his shoulders before walking back to his desk. “If I can just replicate the hair dye solution we made all those years ago… To the best of my memory that is, and in black instead of teal…” he says as he begins to grab some liquids and mix them together. “We should be able to… AHA! there we go!” Varian exclaims excitedly scooping a little sample of his homemade hair dye onto a spare popsical stick, then grabbing one of his other teal glowing hair streaks and applying a little over it to see what might happen. Some time later, after his new streak dried, he then grabbed an old white leather animal collar and used his powers to add some mini black rock spikes to it. “Hah! This is gonna look so cool!” he exclaimed excitedly once again putting the collar around his neck and checking himself out in a nearby mirror “I call this… A black rock choker!” he says turning to Ruddiger excitedly. “What do you think, bud?” Varian says as Ruddiger chitters nervously backing away. “Ah, it's okay. I understand-” he says laughing nervously while scratching the back of his head. “Now, what do you say I take up a new name too?” he says smirking.
