Silence fell between them, each lost in their own thoughts. until... "So, what was with adding Durin to Roark's name all about?" Amusement lit his dark eyes. "And isn't that a bit of a mouthful to say?"
A chuckle. "It is at that, and for the most part, he intends to go by Roark Lestrange. You will only get his full name at official functions, and first-time introductions. As for the Durin...I never did tell you, did I? Then again, we had decided to not tell anyone. Only a select few knew."
"Tell me what? Knew what?"
"That Roark is adopted."
A look of surprise. "Adopted?"
Adama nodded. "Lily couldn't have any more children, and they wanted a couple more. Roark was placed up for adoption when he was only a couple of sectars old. His mother...and we assumed, his father had been killed in those raids on Leo. It was discovered a short while ago that Roark is the long lost missing son of Roark and that young lady he met and married on Leo. He was in the process of getting clearance to bring them both home to Caprica with him when the Solarian was replaced by the Acropolis."
"Only that never happened because the Cylons attacked Leo. As Roark was still off duty and planetside, his Second in Command made the decision to turn the Solarian and face the Cylons head-on."
"Yes. If you remember, Thorin took Dacian, Gabriel, Sebastien, Aiden, and Roark with him to Leo as soon as they had heard that Roark had been critically injured in that attack, and not expected to survive."
"I do remember. A broken back and several other serious injuries. To everyone's surprise, he woke up."
A smile. "Too damned stubborn to die. As soon as he was awake enough to communicate, he begged them to find out what had happened to his wife and newborn son. They immediately began to search, of course, only to discover that Selina had been killed. Her body, and her newborn son, who had survived, were both claimed by her sister.
"To say they were all devastated was mild. They wanted to try to find the sister, but they had no name, and they had been ordered to return to Caprica." Adama sipped from his glass and shook his head. "Then the unimaginable happened when Roark stepped in front of a knife that had been thrown at his lover. In his blood work was an anomaly found only in the Durin bloodline.
"To be absolutely sure of what they were seeing, Severus and Sebastien ran the test a couple more times. There was no doubt. My grandson, Roark Christopher Peverell Potter was Roark Killian Durin's long lost missing son." He sat back in his chair, sipping from his glass of ambrosia, his eyes looking out the viewport.
"Jake?"
Adama turned his head. "Did Omega end up giving Roark and Harry those quarters Ethan told him about?"
"He did."
"That's good. Roark still needs a lot of training. His shielding, though good for the most part, is very erratic."
Tigh frowned suddenly. "May I ask why?"
Adama heaved a sigh as he got to his feet once again. "Roark, we have discovered, has all of the psychic gifts not seen in a single person since the ninth Lord of Kobol. At ten yahren, those gifts, but for his empathy and telepathy were all placed under tight blocks, then sealed with magic to keep them contained because one of them, his gift of premonition, showed him something so horrific, it sent him into a catatonic state to escape it.
"The night he met Rodolphus, every single one of those seals shattered and then the blocks began to come apart under the pressure of fully formed reawakened gifts. His fear of returning to Saggitara means that Rodolphus, Rabastan, and his brothers will have to train him, and before you ask, while Harry has a few of the gifts, they are nothing on what Roark has shown. There is also the fact that his magic keeps slipping his control a lot more than it should, and through him, Harry."
"WHAT? How is--they've always had such amazing control of their magic. What have Rodolphus and Rabastan have to do with Roark's psychic gifts?"
"Apparently, they have a great deal to do with them, but I'll get to that in a moment. The real problem facing them right now is that Roark's shields are connected to his empathy, which, by the way, they are not supposed to be. Therefore he is not properly grounded, nor is he centered within himself. Ethan says once they get him grounded and centered, his shields should redistribute themselves accordingly, including the ones connected to his empathy., and stop fluctuating so badly."
"So why is he having all these problems? I would have thought that would have been the first thing they taught him on Saggitara."
"It was, but remember, shortly after arriving there he began to have horrible dreams, which prompted them to block, then seal his gifts. That's what they're working on now, but the problem is that Roark has started dreaming again. So are Kili and Dylan. Kili's, from what I understand, is nearly as bad as Roark's, while for some reason Dylan's are not. Roark's premonition is at full strength, and whatever he is seeing in these dreams is truly horrific, and in pieces. Like a huge jigsaw puzzle that needs to be put together.
"The dreams though, are so bad that his waking mind can't, or won't, we aren't sure which at this point, face them. He never remembers the actual dream, he just remembers the impressions. Fire, pain, anger, fear, and fury, then finally death and destruction."
"And as long as his shields remain connected to his empathy, the feelings of what he's seeing are amplified, preventing him from being properly grounded and centered, as each time he has a dream, everything he's managed to build comes apart under the pressure."
"That is the current running theory, yes."
"So how are Rodolphus and Rabastan connected to this?"
"They are the descendants of the most ancient, aristocratic line of Lestrange, and each has some of the same gifts. Though both admit that they do not have the gift of premonition, Rodolphus is completely emotionally, mentally, and physically linked to Roark. When they tried to bring down the walls surrounding the memory of the dream, they realized the dream itself is in pieces, each one progressively worse than the one before it."
"I see," he said thoughtfully. "So, what is it that the final dream portends?"
"Annihilation."
Tigh gave a sharp gasp, a look of horror in his eyes. "Of WHAT?"
"We don't know for sure."
"You, Roark, Thorin, and those boys of his suspect something."
"We do, and what we suspect is something not bearing thinking about."
Another sharp gasp. "The Colonies!"
"We have no proof, Dominic, and without proof, there is nothing we can do but prepare for every possibility."
