I think Chapter 15 has the best twist ending I've ever written. Let's know what you're thinking Oddey!

Chapter 15: Prodigy
Rook was surprised, yet again. “A Sliglet? My Sliglet?” Flek nodded. “His genetic material is ninety percent of your own. The other ten percent is random, those genes are from the Dark Wing itself.” Rook looked at Flek, “Will it lead a normal life?” Flek nodded once more, “It will be just like a normal Slig, but slightly better overall. Faster, stronger, more intelligent. He won’t need the suppressant like you either.”
Flek smiled, “Rook, you’ve become quite a popular Slig. The downside to all of this would be that you’ll have to accept some more risky missions. To cope with your increased ego.” Flek chuckled, even Rook joined in. Rook waited before speaking again, “Will I lead a normal life?”. Flek looked at Rook, “Yes. Besides the suppressants and the extra benefits of being a Dark Gift victim, you’re a perfectly normal Slig.” Flek turned to face the wall, “Not only that, you’re a dear friend of mine too.” Flek let a single tear fall down his mask, before he wiped it and turned around.
Rook smiled as Flek took off the restraints. “One more question Flek, where will my son grow up?” Flek looked at Rook, “He will be assigned to grow up in one of the Sliggies Academies. When he’s of age, he will be recruited to join the Keeya prison guard. Just like his father. You will be introduced and you will be one of a kind.”
Rook smiled, “Thanks Flek.” Rook pointed his gun at Flek, “By the way, you forgot to take this away from me”.
