"I walk the path of Supreme Conquest."
"Supreme Conquest?" He replied. The once proud shoulders drooped as his head fell forward, the first time he had ever seen his sire look defeated. "Tell me Sesshoumaru, do you have someone to protect?"
"Someone to protect?" He scoffed back. "No, This Sesshoumaru has no need to protect."
"For that I truly am sorry my son."
His sire raised his head, stepping forward off the cliff and transforming into his true form.
Sesshoumaru watched as he ran down the cliff face, turning to run alongside the beach before disappearing for the last time into the trees.
