Reizu was captivated by Soran's story as he kept quiet. He laughed along with the dragon about whether Sam had forgiven him or not. Reizu leaned against the wall before beginning his story. "A promise is a promise. I'll tell you my story. I think it has the outline as Chris's." He scratched his white long hair and began his story. "17 years ago on a cold winter's snowing night, a young couple were fussing of what to do with a newborn child. That child was me. The mother, a weasel, wanted to leave it in the jungle, hoping something would devour it; The father, a wolf, desired to leave him in the cold of the Mount Kiomura of Osaka, Japan. The father won and the baby was abandoned in the cold, crying. Chances of that child surviving were equal to a ice in the Sahara. Pitifully low." The white wolfeasel shuffled a bit before continuing. "I'm going to speak the next part in my godfather's words. As he said, he was currently coming back from a successful fishing trip when he heard the weeping. Seeking out the noise, he found me in the snow. He spoke the words after laughing,'This has the heart of a warrior, but the soul of a forgiver.' With those words, he swept me up and carried me up to the mountain to where he lived. Once I reached age six, he began to teach me the secrets of ninjutsu. I still have the scars, but whenever I failed, he'd always laugh and help me back up. I revere my scars as badges of endurance. As I grew up, he began to teach me with his other classes. I was always the top student in my class, taking private lessons behind the scenes, mastering every technique, basic and advanced. Now that I'm 17, I'm currently an elite ninja, going on to be one of the Black Ops, the cream of the crop. It's thanks to my father that I made it this far and I hope to see him again soon." Reizu finished his story wiping a tear from his eye. "That's that. But this story still has a long way to go before it ends. Oh! Let me tell you a secret." The white wolfeasel leaned over into Soran's ear. "I met my 19 year-old self. I felt like I was a child compared to him. He was so quiet and strong, I'm sure of it. But his speed was unbelieveably fast. I hope I can become like him." Reizu folded his arms and leaned back against the wall. "As a token of gratitude for exchanging stories, I pledge to defend my bandmates, especially Chris."
