Sasha's Story: The Lost Rasputina
Sasha’s Story ~ The Lost Rasputina:
Despite the claims of the family proper, their beautifully constructed genealogical maps, and theories about magic being passed down through bloodlines… the founders of House Rasputin did not have any blood-ties to the man Grigori Rasputin.
After all, the last name Rasputin was surprisingly common for the era and the area where Grigori Rasputin had been born. And after the overthrow of the Russian tsar, many papers and records were lost or destroyed during the resulting chaos and establishment of the Soviet government.
For all intents and purposes, it next to impossible to prove they aren’t descendants of the famous Russian mystic. One could argue that genetic comparisons to the “Rasputin”s of House Rasputin-Novyi to their alleged forefather …show more content…
(And who the hell starts a fight in a coffee shop anyway?) She’s certain now that he’s a wizard—or sorcerer, or mage, whatever. And a hot blooded mage who tends to hit people with chairs for just looking at him funny?
She’s decided the fact that Gregor is living with her is not something she’s going to bring up in the near future. Even if it is platonic. Sasha just has a feeling it wouldn’t go over well. She’ll wait until she can think up a good way to frame it without Alexander going bananas.
And honestly, she’s a little too busy to worry about the Weird Stuff or personal drama at the moment. Until the mages, werewolves, and whatever else was out there started showing up in her apartment or at her hospital, she’ll let sleeping dogs lie. Seems like the best (and probably safest) policy at the moment.
And in the meantime, Sasha has important stuff to focus on. Like, for example, finding that article she read about that obscure African virus so she can save someone’s life. There were people counting on her to save their loved ones.
And, honestly, saving the sick is what she does
