#viren doesnt know how they did it and he doesnt want to risk questioning it

New AU idea.

Kpp'Ar ends up taking in Claudia and Soren, raising them as his own. This is due to Lissa having a bad feeling about Viren once he starts to spend all of his free time trying to find a way to cure Soren. So Lissa takes Claudia and Soren to The Puzzle House while Viren is asleep.

Kpp'Ar allows it, he enjoys the company the two give him. Soren was a giant bundle of energy that always made Kpp'Ar figure out new ways to entertain him. Claudia was a giant bundle of curiosity that always made Kpp'Ar figure out new ways to keep her engaged.

It was a new routine that Kpp'Ar welcomed with open arms. So when Soren and Claudia grew up, he always encouraged them to do what would make them happy. Claudia became a prodigy in alchemy(since Kpp'Ar stopped doing Dark Magic like he planned to in the show) due to never seeing Kpp'Ar do it. Soren became the youngest Crownguard in history(like in canon) but he's not as mean towards Callum, it's more like teasing Callum about his crush on Claudia and how he's horrible at winning. Meanwhile Viren found a Dark Magic apprentice within an orphan he found.

Canon goes a little differently but still somewhat the same. This time Soren and Claudia both join the Draggang. Terry and Claudia meet a little earlier and get together around the same time they did in canon. Soren and Corvus still meet but slightly different and still end up as friends who are lowkey pining after each other.
