And special thanks to Bluumberry for beta-reading for me, since my grammar... isn't the best... heh heh.
"Ughh ," Rei groaned as he opened his eyes, he was lying on a moss bed with lots of herb smells around him. He was in an underground burrow [1].
He wanted to fall asleep again, when a message suddenly came to his mind, causing him to panic. "Did the bounty hunters die? What if it was them who brought him here? Are they preparing for his trial?" The last thought caused him to sit up. A sharp pain coursed through his left shoulder which caused him to gasp in pain and surprise.
"Take it easy there! Don't reopen your wound!" A feminine voice said sternly. Rei turned to look at his right to see a female fox demon standing there with a basket of herbs, and a stern face. But her face quickly brightened. "Hi! How are you feeling?"
"Err... fine?" Rei replied uncertainly.
"My name is Silver Twig, me and Kai found you. After, you tried to greet us but you fell unconscious."
"Uhh...yeah," Rei replied confused. He knew he killed all those hunters but he didn't remember anything else.
"Do you remember your name?"
"My name is Rei" replied Rei, feeling more at ease. Rei sat there looking at Silver Twig, who was sorting herbs. "Where am I?" Rei asked curiously.
"You're in my burrow"
"I know I'm in your burrow, but as in where the borrow is?"
"Oh! You're in Phoenix Clan,"
"Phoenix Clan?" Rei said confused . Silver Twig turned around and faced him, "Don't tell me you never heard of the clans before!?" Silver Twig gasped shocked.
"I lived in Nico, where everyone hates demons."
"Do you want me to tell you their stories?"
"Sure," Silver Twig sat on a chair beside the moss bed. "Okay, in this era. Beasts guardians were just discovered. Only a few people wield their respective weapons or even own these powerful spirits. The first clan created was Shadow Clan. The leader Voltaire [2] was a cold-hearted demon who wanted nothing more but a bit-beast." Rei noticed Silver Twig said Voltaire's name with complete disgust.
'Whoa...' Before Rei could collect his thoughts, Silver Twig started again, Seemingly trying not to talk about Voltaire. He listened instead. "He never got a Beast guardian though. He decided to recruit scientists and they made him an artificial Beast guardian and beast form. Voltaire kidnapped many of the best human warriors and told the scientists change them into demons that have no emotions and have artificial Beasts guardians and beast forms. Many of them died in the process."
"That's so cruel! He's a disgusting cur." Rei said with disgust. "I totally 100% agree with you. Now, next to the Fierce Cat Clan. Actually, the Fierce Cat Clan and the Phoenix Clan just two group of demons that wanted rebellion against Voltaire."
"What about the two clans?"
Hector was a fox demon that commanded the Phoenix Clan group, who is also me and Kai's dad. "Kai?" Rei asked. Silver Twig mentioned Kai a few times and his curiosity was getting the better of him. "Kai's the clan leader, and my brother." Silver Twig said, a hint of pride in her voice. She started again
"Leo, a lion demon and the leader of the Fierce Cat Clan group, who is also Lee's father." At the mention of Lee's name Rei couldn't help but think that name was too familiar.
'I must be crazy, thinking those thoughts.' Rei mused. When Silver Twig saw Rei wasn't paying attention she said, "Lee is the present day leader of the Fierce Cat Clan."
'Now this is getting weird, I couldn't have known him.'
"Ahem." Silver Twig tried to snap Rei out of his trance.
"Sorry, continue with the story."
"Actually there are two different versions. The general one, or the romantic one. Which one do you want to hear?" Silver Twig asked. Rei wanted to hear the general one. "I want to hear the... romantic one." Rei sat there in shock at his answer 'I didn't want to..." "Whoah Rei you like lovey-dovey stuff?" Silver Twig asked amused. "Uhh ... yes...no ...maybe..." Rei stuttered
"Okay then it's settled. Okay... I didn't say this story for such a long time." Silver Twig mumbled to herself while tapping her chin. "Okay, Hector and Leo wanted their sons to mate [3] so they can become a one big clan [4] because Hector and Leo wanted power. Even though Lee and another were mates already, he forced himself to like Kai, because he wanted to grant his father's wish. Kai, however, fell in love with Lee's mate from the Fierce Cat Clan."
"Who was it?" Rei asked curious. "Her name was Raven Fang. At first she didn't like Kai, but later they fell in love." Silver Twig stopped for a minute with a dreamy face. "But..." Silver Twig sighed sadly "Sometimes there is no happy ending." Rei watched curiously at her changing moods. 'Something bad must of happened'
"Ok, When Lee found out, he wasn't mad. He actually accepted their love. He went and told if Kai could mate with that other demon instead. But since Leo was so greedy for power he decided Kai could only mate with his son. Of course he didn't tell Hector or Lee, instead he got a special kind of poison called Ivy's Hate, a poison that could make any person that loved another totally forget that they were ever in love.
At a feast He put the poison in Raven, Kai and Lee's drinks." "Why did he put poison in Lee's drink?" Rei asked a bit confused. "He did because he didn't want Lee to accept their love... It's so sad." She sighed "Yeah it sure is." Rei agreed. "They each drank it. Hector then found out he used a poison to break true love and friendship. He was furious and had a war with Leo.
They separated after that and became bitter enemies. Rumor has it that Leo abandoned Raven in the middle of the woods. And killed her, because he viewed her as a bad omen...and we're finished!"
"Whoa that's sad." Rei said sadly.
"Yeah it sure is," Silver Twig said agreeing with Rei. "But that happened like 100 years ago so we can't help her."
"Does Kai know this legend, I mean the part where he was poisoned and forgot Raven?" Rei asked.
"Yes, he knows but he's always in denial anytime someone mentions it."
"Why don't you ask your father?" Rei asked
"He died years ago, a true father to the end." Silver Twig said with a hint of sadness
Sorry," Rei murmured "I know how you feel, I never even knew my parents."
"It's ok and sorry for you too."
"I'm fine"
They kept on chatting until someone came into the room. Rei turned around and he found himself staring into a pair of eyes. A pair of crimson eyes .
ST: Another chapter done. Sorry you didn't meet the others like I said you would. That will be in the next chapter or next after that one.
