'Everything is a little stranger than I expected.'
I thought as I walked.
'Lightning Tiger didn't create his guardian—it was the other way around. Raiden founded this noble house and taught them the very same powers he possesses. That means every action taken by the house has Raiden's approval and will. In other words, it was his will that I obtained that fang and went through all of that. Why?'
I pondered, remembering my time with the king and the royal court.
'The king wanted power and saw it in me and the others, and that's why he forced other houses to teach us. But Raiden wasn't just teaching—he was offering even more. Why?'
I took a deep breath, recalling even more of the past. A time when I understood nothing about this world.
In the sky, two beasts were fighting. Both were males—the only two adult males I had ever seen in my entire life.
'There are two possibilities: Raiden needs us for some obscure reason, or… he is our father.'
