Before The Beginning...

Before our story starts, we must remember our history...

My name is Toraito Griever, and I was once a Lord of all in my native land. I was one of few Howaitotaigā Akuma alive, and I was in trouble.

I'm sorry, it seems as if you do not know all of my native language, I am a White Tiger Demon of old Japan.

After realizing the true danger I had appealed to an old family friend, and by old, I mean the family. The younger man positioned to inherit their great dynasty was wary of seeing a demon on his family property, but his elder saw who I was and let me in. In short order I told them of how Nameless, the foul Kitsune who forgot who he was during the Great Wars, was after Demon Lords for their territories and their lives.

Within days they arranged to take care of my interests in Japan, and for me to take shelter in the Western half of the United States. I lived all over the Pacific coast while waiting, biding my time until it would be safe for me to return to Japan, my true home.

I waited for years, until finally I found something, no someone that made me rethink returning home. Her name is Lynne and I started to court her once she was of age. We had only met when she was sixteen. She may have been human, but I felt that she was the only one for me.

Who knew that we would have a beautiful daughter, one that would eventually have to take up my battle with the Dark Kitsune...

My Kaitlin, I hope that you can handle what I've left for you to do. I wish I could be there to aid you in your times of need.

My love, my pride, and my honor go with you...

I know I do not have much time left, so I entrust my library to you, and what secrets I have left, to the Order of the Whispering Wing, seek them if you ever have need.

And let your mother know, I knew my time was short, and that I will always love her.

- Your Father, Toraito Griever, White Tiger Lord.

Dark, it was dark that night, the night her father was brutally murdered in front of her young eyes. She had been hidden, silent, in the closest closet. All Kaitlin remembers from that night is darkness. Darkness, a fearful transformation, and the sharp pain of needles piercing her flesh as the doctors try to calm her down.

Her mother tells her that every time she started to move, the doctors tranquilized her, fearing she would kill them under her terrifying tiger strength. A strength that she could not control. A strength that at three, she should not have been able to access.

The experience left her with a fear of doctors, a fear of needles, and worst a fear of her own power. That fear was the one she was fighting to get over now. At twelve, she found that now she had to control her power, lest she lose control and possibly tear apart her friends, or her family.

She found the task easier said than done.

Kaitlin sat down, I can do this. I am my Father's daughter.

I didn't know what to expect when I first met her. I guess it wasn't what I did find out, Kaitlin is quite the expressive young lady, nothing like the girls I know back home in Japan. Perhaps she'll be a good influence on Amiko when we get home. I shouldn't put all my eggs in one basket though, I wouldn't want to be wrong about this. I worry about Amiko when I'm not there to watch out for her. And when I'm not, I fear Amiko will do something foolish, something that could break her fragile nature. I guess I see her as a sister. Kaitlin on the other hand, well I guess I'll have to wait and see...

Griever

#!griever #!quoted #!prompt #:introduction #excerpt

It's amazing the things you do to escape from the things you always catch yourself doing. Things you do to break out of the mold you have been paced in by your peers. Trying to change what others think of you, trying to change their opinions by being yourself no matter what they think. I try so much, so often, that I feel that I am missing something important. Am I doing everything I can not to cross the lines that others have drawn? Lines that place me where I feel I do not belong, ever. My name is Kaitlin Anderson, and I never wanted anything but to be normal. Too bad the writing on the wall will never let me be that. I am the daughter of a powerful demon Lord, probably the only white O-Toraoni ever to have existed, and one of the only to be lost during the dispute between the clans. That much I know, there is a great deal more that I'm sure that I don't know. I should be in school right now, but my mother came to pull me out of classes early today, something about a guest coming over that I have to meet for some reason. I wish I knew more about him, all she said is that he's the son of one of my father's friends from Japan. Could he be part of the clan that my father was from? One of the human members? I know that the clans are made of both human and demon members. Mom's calling up the stairs now, I best get down. After all, our guest is waiting...
