After Scion's bloodline was tested to be of the sixth level, his parents began to distance themselves.
They knew their child would soon enter the Moon Goddess Temple and become an emotionless Pontifex. So, instead of investing their emotions in him, they showered all their love on his younger brother.
Little Scion couldn't understand what he had done wrong, and why his parents abandoned him after his bloodline was tested.
He hid in dark corners every day, watching his family interact lovingly, searching for answers. But every time he watched, his heart broke a little more.
When his parents saw him by chance, they would respectfully bow and quickly leave with his younger brother.
Over time, Scion's spirit eroded. He didn't know when it started, but he gradually felt abandoned by the world and began to abandon the world in return.
