Honestly, I don't like this development. Not because I want Lith to be special, but because I don't see any logic in this narrative. Mogar said that she was fair, that's why she gave Dereck, someone who never lived in Mogar, a chance. But aparently she just changed the lineage of an entire family without asking for their permission. So how is this considered fair? I've always thought that what she meant was that she directed Dereck's soul to Lith's dead body, a member of a family that carried a recessive lost mutation. And that Dereck's abomination side was the one responsible for regaining that bloodline, just like Xenagross regained her dragon side after becoming an abomination. It's an explanation that makes sense and there's already a precedent. This, for me, is a plothole that lowers the novel's score (just like a few recent developments). But whatever.
to be honest. i think the eyes were the intentions of mogar. a father of demons is of course going to look much different and be more than the ones below him. its likely Mogar wanted you to have the eyes as you are the personification of destruction. destruction being all walks of life, elements and matter alike.
