Kiran was standing next to a car. The driver, quite amiable, rolled down his window and said to Kiran, "Buddy! You better drive off quickly; this is Young Master Murphy from the Murphy family, one of the four major families of Dragon City." "The Murphy family? Young Master Murphy?"

I was eleven, and there I was, learning a ridiculous oath my grandmother forced me to memorize for a whole year.

All for my family."

Master said as he started walking away. "They all loved and accepted you when you came, do you still not have a reason to fight. Besides, Tina brought me this poster, I do believe you should reconsider." Master said before leaving me there by myself. When he left, I looked around and found what I was missing. Beneath those trees were women walking down to the stream, children playing along the hills, young men training in the fields, they were all here, and they all looked up to Master.

Whatever children our group produces will be protected, loved... cherished.... Alright, so the first child is, biologically speaking, yours and mine. The second will be Beth's and Richard's.
