The strong wind blew through the dead branches of the forests, the twin boys marched forward following their fathers lead. Yori stumbled over the rocky pathway as he tried to keep up, he had fallen over so many times already the pair had stopped looking behind to see if he was alright. The white haired boy looked up to the top of the hill, his family had left him behind because he was weak, Yori suddenly felt tears push forward through his icy blue eyes but before they could escape he bit his lip, he could not show any more weakness, it would upset his father. The child gritted his teeth as he raced up the steep hill.
"Just because you caught up doesn't change the fact you fell behind, when you fall it reflects on all of us Yori" his father stared down to him; anger filled the old man's eyes.
"Sor…sorry dad" the young boy stuttered as he looked away, he couldn't bare it when his father looked at him like that, the disappointment ached his heart.
"We will rest here, Katio go and find some fire wood" their father ordered, the dark haired boy did as he was told, disappearing into the thick darkness of the trees.
Yori placed his bags down in the dirt, the sound of the howling wolves echoed through the night sky, the young boy flinched as the cries pressed against his tiny ears. His father turned towards him as he began to build a den with his sheets.
"What are you doing?" the man questioned.
Yori looked round to answer, but fear gripped his small body as his father stared towards him. He couldn't get his words out, but he knew his dad was already reading his thoughts; any words that he did have in him suddenly disappeared.
"There's no reason for you to fear the wolves, you need to accept that they are a part of you Yori….the mark you bare is a symbol that you belong to the pack, there are always weak ones within a group of so many….I accept you will be nothing more than a burden to me"
The young boy's vision became misty as his father's words broke through his heart like shooting arrows.
"You gained the mark of the wolf by killing a crocodile, it was brave of you to take on such a creature but since then you have questioned everything about this guild, a true pack member follows the leaders and accepts what they are doing is right….I know you think about these things Yori, you ask why…..there should be no why, you should accept you have been given a chance to be part of something great, there are no other guilds like us, we don't carry the weak we vanish them….you are my son and although I will never feel proud of you, I will look after you and care for you because I promised your mother, the things I do for you are all for her…do you understand?"
The crying boy closed his eyes as he nodded; his tiny fists were clenched together as he bit down on his lip.
"Wipe away your tears, they are of no use to you….they do not give you power nor do they make your enemies fear you, do not allow me to see such behaviour again…now place your sheet on the floor, we don't need tents…wolfs sleep under the stars so tonight we do the same"
His father looked away, detaching the bond he had made with his son. Yori dried his eyes with the sleeve of his white furred coat, before laying down his thick sheets.
Katio slowly approached the silent pair, he placed the fire wood down in the centre before lighting it. Yori snuggled down into his bed as he watched the dancing flames, his father walked away into the distance as the forest filled with the sound of the howling wolves. Katio brushed down his dusty clothes as he stood to follow his father, Yori slid his hand over the dry soil, he didn't look up to his brother but he knew he was staring down at him. Katio slowly walked forward towards the out starched hand; he placed his fur boot over his siblings hand before crushing down on his brother's tiny fingers.
"Dad has a reason to pity you, but I have none…she's gone Yori, all the tears in the world can't bring her back, so just forget about her and place your hurt deep within your heart…allow it to become your strength…If you want dad to look at you in any way he does me, you will listen to my words and forget she ever existed"
The pale, spiked haired boy slid his hand from under his brother's boot; slowly he tucked it away into the sleeve of his dark blue coat.
"Maybe you could find her; I just want to see her one last time Katio, one last time…just one last time"
"I can't find her Yori, she's not here! She left us; she's gone…stop asking me to find her!" Katio screamed before kicking dirt into his brother's face and racing off towards his father.
Yori lay still, as he watched his sibling disappear into the distance. He let out a small sigh before he closed his eyes and began to dream of his mother's soft touch, her voice sang down to him from the heavens, things that once worried him faded away as he lay in his mother's arms, she slowly rocked his tiny body before gently brushing her hands through his soft, baby white hair. He begged with her to speak words he would understand, his heart longed for her to guide him.
"Yori, stop thinking of her now, she's gone we must accept what has happened and move forward…the future holds more value than the past, no more thoughts, it's over" his father whispered over the crackling of the fire wood.
The young boy turned his back away from the words of his father; he felt tears plead for freedom as they filled his baby blue eyes. He looked toward the perfectly rounded moon. Silently he prayed for his mother, one last time before he would whip her memory away and start to listen to the words of his brother, and hold on to the last piece of hope that his father may someday be proud of him, to look at him in the way he did his brother, with pride and honour.
A/N: What a sad chapter, I hope you guys understand a bit more about the twins now. I feel a little sorry for Yori, but it's nothing compared to your next chapter, be strong my people :) Has anyone clicked onto what Katio's magic could be? Not a lot of details in it. Don't worry if not as more will be revealed soon…!
