Old habits don't die (part 1)

Now for those wondering what that potion is, let's get a little bit of context back to it.

Syzoth, before he became a lizardman, he used to be a chemist. Specifically, a chemistry teacher.

As a child, chemistry always was actual magic for him. And as such, he always loved to experiment.

And one of his most loved ways to spend times was to not only replicate the drink that he had, but actually make it better.

That was the reason how he got married.

You see, Maria Romanova, an old childhood friend of his, once happend to drink something Syzoth created in his garage. (Yes, his laboratory was im his garage, don't ask why.)

And then she asked him that he was a genius, and that he could potentially start a whole business on his own.

Syzoth however responded with that the whole drink making was just a hobby of his. A way to spend time when he was bored.

He also mentioned that he was contempt with his life as a chemistry teacher. He loved teaching his students about the basic rules and beaty of chemistry, and it seems that his students really liked his passion to.

That was also probably the reason why almost none of his students got bad grades, and even when they did, Syzoth tried to help them improve.

(By the way, there was one girl in his class by the name Alexandra Romanova, the daughter of the school's director, who was an incredible beauty by herself, and highly popular in ghe school even, who caught feeling for Syzoth. However, when she opened up to him, as a professional, he pointed out that she was his student, and he was her teacher. That for now would be their only relationship they could have. That of course made her sad, but Syzoth continued with a promise that if she got older, and her feeling for him wouldn't change, she could find him and maybe, just maybe, things could work out. This gave her a smile back, and they continued to have a good relationship of teacher and student.

This wasn't for long, as a few weeks later, she died during a car accident.)

Back to his childhood friend.

She realized that now she could potentially start her own business and company like she always wanted.

And so, a few dates her, a few kisses there, a few movies later and a long hot night in bed they got together.

(Don't worry, she actually inevitably started to care for Syzoth more than just a way to start her business. And Syzoth wouldn't dare to hook up with somebody he wasn't certain that his partner would love him equally as he does her, especially not if that woman was the sister of his school's director.)

They got married, and a few years later, they managed to start their own company.

When Syzoth made a drink, Maria would advertise and sell it.

They even had a few kids.

Three beautiful young girls, and one single boy.

Sadly Maria never got to see her youngest son, as she died during childbirth.

Yeah, Syzoth's life changed drastically on this point in time, as he now had to basically take care for four children, ehich resulted Withoutin him quitting his job as a teacher and tryingto understand the way of business, as that was the only way he could provide for his children.

Then, a few years later, some bad things happend, which resulted in Syzoth losing not only his company, but his relationship with his daughters. The only remaining family member he had left was his son.

A few years later, his son just vanished
