The Truth

Ryu's jaw clenched tighter and tighter the more words Monalise spoke. He didn't realize it, but even his halberd was quaking under his grip.

'A war erupted, if one could even call it that. The Tatsuya Clan was continuously backstabbed. It seemed there would be a new traitor every other day.' Monalise grit her teeth. 'Those Martial Plane bastards claim that their approach for the human race was far better, that their path of absolute strength was the only way for us to survive, yet they shamelessly used underhanded tricks and schemes to eke out victory.'

Ryu's breathing turned erratic. His face, one that seemed carved of the purest ice, reddened with rage.

His father's whereabouts were completely unknown. He couldn't imagine what his mother had to face without her husband by her side. The more he heard, the more and more difficult it was for him to forgive his great grandfather.
