Raven

Today should have been one of the happiest days of his life, the birth of his son Silva couldn't be more of a joyful occasion, but like all good things, everything must come to an end.

It all started when he left the clan to see the world, the family clan seniors forbade him to go as he was the heir, but Raven wanted none of that, so he decided to leave the burden of the heir to his younger brother.

Raven is a from an old family of demons, of the proud demon crow family, the Zi Family, one of the four noble demon families ... beside the Zi Family, there's also the Sei family of the demon snake; the Surufu Family of the Demon Wolf; and the strongest of the four the Torikku Family of the demon fox

The Zi Family and the Sei Family had an excellent relationship, so they decided to unite the two family heirs through marriage, having Raven marry the young lady of the demon snake.

He didn't like her, but his younger brother did, so Raven passed all responsibilities to him which made the younger brother more than happy to accept.

Raven left, little did he know that after his departure the young lady threw a fit since she was fascinated with Raven and not with his younger brother.

Enraged of Raven's indifference toward her, the young lady attacked the younger brother, stealing his sight forever, stating that the younger brother was unworthy of her.

After some time Raven found Silva's mother, and it was love at first sight.

But today two of his most loyal aids found him and told him about the trouble back home.

''Young Lord, I'm afraid that lady Zara knows of your current whereabouts and if she finds out about your wife and child also, I don't know of what she might do, please return to the family with us ''

''You're saying that I should abandon my wife and child and return to the family?''

''No that's not of what I've meant to say at all, please forgive me.''

''It's ok, any news of my brother?''

''No! the youngest lord, left the family, and currently, nobody knows of his current whereabouts.''

''That blind fool, always running after Zara to get her attention, now she took his sight, and he is truly blind, blinded by her looks. I've always told him no matter how stunningly beautiful a woman might seem, be careful of her personality''.

The young lady of the demon snake family was arrogant and unreasonable never putting anyone in her eyes, and it was like the world revolves around her, and everybody is there to please her, unlike his wife Lucia that besides being beautiful was also a kind soul that was the total opposite.

''Ok we shall return! Shadow Zi will stay here to protect my wife and child, and you Cain Zi will follow me back.''

''Yes as you wish Lord!''

I only hope my wife & child could forgive me one-day when I return for them.

Raven didn't know that it would take more than 17 years to get reunited with his wife & child, as so would happen that soon after leaving he found out that everyone in the village mysteriously disappeared including his loved which made him endlessly regret his decision, well at least until he saw them again.

''I've told you before, that man is no good; he left you and this child if it weren't for me what would you do now my daughter.''
