~Mother~

"Toga you fear a future that has yet to be." His mother said, benevolently, as always.

Toga shook with rage and a small amount of fear. Would his father show leniency for his only son?

He could not stay, he wasn't even sure he wanted too. His elders were strong and powerful, they were to be feared, and yet he found their world to be chaotic.

"I would kill for power, I would kill for defense and to hold my land, but this?"

She looked down, her eyes low for she knew the truth. "You will leave then?"

Toga only nodded. His Father would only kill him for his insolence and abandonment.

He had fled from this war of revenge, and then stopped, to ask his mother for answers.

He had to know, for he could not understand.

"What does he seek to avenge?" He begged. A question he had asked before.

She sighed heavily, and he thought she would refuse to tell him again.

"The truth of how the Inugami came into being is a tale of misery and pain. He seeks retribution for the wrongs inflicted on him by those he once called master."

Toga only blinked several times, unable to find his voice.

His Father called none master!

"Sit my child and I will tell you how we came into being."
