Chapter 2: Uncle…..

They had a son named Hugo. However he paled in comparison to me in every aspect. He became jealous seeing his cousin was better then him. Like father like son, they're both dickheads.

I've dueled Hugo many times and I've won without even lifting a fist. He was a very stupid kid to be fair. Just a quick sidestep or trip and he would be on the floor.

Hatred bloomed within Hugo at the humiliation he got from me every single duel. At the age of 8 the children of the family would have a duel to dictate who the next heir would be. Strength ruled above all else. I beat all the other kids in the family without issue. Same with Hugo, I may be able to beat him but he's strong in his own right.

The final duel to decide the heir would be between me and Hugo. My uncle, the evil man he is challenged my father to a life or death duel to decide who would duel the family. My father refused.

However my uncle threatened to kill me if he didn't kill himself. You see my uncle was always in love with my mom, before she was even married to my dad. Seeing my father had no choice.

He killed himself to preserve my life. My birthday was just tomorrow. I was devastated. Driven by hatred I tried to kill him but my mother stopped me. "Your not strong enough Dylan. Stop.

Your father wouldn't have wanted it to end this way" mom said while tears were flowing down her eyes like a waterfall. Ruining the happy expression she always carried. I felt hopeless and useless.

"I AS THE NEW FAMILY LEADER DECLARE THAT DYLAN IS NOW A OUTSIDER. HE WILL BE FORCED TO LEAVE TOMORROW AT DAWN OR I WILL CUT HIM DOWN MYSELF" uncle screamed while smiling like an egotistical manic.
