[Kaguya]

The man watched as the boy shook and dropped his sword, it was then realized “Nobuo” his eyes went wide as he dashed towards the boy to hug him close his chest tears falling from his eyes “My eye's might be dull purple, but they don't show malice in them...” he whispered “If I was as evil as you thought I wouldn't be as accommodating as I have been, other elders wouldn't have been so forth coming and would have forced you into their temple” he said not wanting to loosen his hug “Yes I still follow the rules... tainted are still tainted but they are treated well within this tribe” he released the hug and looked down to him with a smile

He looked to him his eyes showing a little sorrow as he talked about how he learned it “You knew that magic was taboo and still learned it...” he sighed moving to a chair within the room “Your intentions might have been pure but that magic is taboo for a reason, it twists people” he was now worried for his son's safety as he knew the punishment for using such arts “Two ways this can go... One, you can hide the fact you know such arts and have used them or... Two I seal your magic until we can find a way to break it” his words showed fear for his son's life he had failed him once and wasn't intending for it to happen again

“I know it must be removed, but only a powerful priestess can remove a taboo such as this...” he looked down and shook his head “We have a problem with that...” his hand clenched “All priestess's that would have been powerful enough to try and remove that taboo, where used in experiments...” he looked up grief seen in his eyes “Your form's mother and young toshi's mother where two of the six” he truly had no idea why these experiments where taking place and why the priestess's where targeted, he only knew his role in the whole scheme and it sickened him to his very core, he started his trials to help his son's illness and potentially eradicate the illness but the other elders took it as a sign and twisted it

“I will give you information on the seals that I can see the young girl has and perhaps, we can find a way to get her to accept this race isn't all bad” moving his hand he used the moonlight outside to recreate the seal Toshi had placed on herself “This seal is very rare, and very powerful... we have only ever seen it once before and that is when her mother used it to banish someone..” he paused for a second “But for Toshi to place it on herself without the knowledge of our race's magic is an extraodinary feat” he shook his head and sighed “Sorry back to what I was saying... this seal is used was used as a capital punishment for this tribe...” he looked to the symbol for a long second “It stripped everything away that you where making you human, once on it was never meant to be removed” his words where calm “In the young girls case, hers will leave when she comes to terms with what she is, it's a defence mechanism” he felt pity for the girl for being able to fully balance herself but she would eventually she had to

Altering the seal he would make the seal on the other hand “That is a seal only elders can do...” he took a deep breath “It's called a slow death seal” his hands clutched to the point there was a small trickle of blood “The seal makes a person weak and gives them great amounts of pain, slowly killing them over a time of sixteen years... “ he looked up to Nobuo “That seal is used on traitors and those who can not be controlled” his voice was filled with several emotions such as anger and sorrow “The others must have feared her to have placed that seal on her... It's a very difficult one to remove” he looked out the window

He listened to the lullaby Nobuo was humming and smiled gently, it was the same lullaby he sang to him as a child. Fond memories came rushing through his mind as he began to whisper the words to the lullaby, it spoke of the true nature of the tribe around them. Moving his eyes over he seen Toshi move into Yuu's lap crying slightly she had heard everything that was said and didn't know how exactly to take it. She was still young and to have all this thrust upon her caused her a great deal of distress
