Once he entered into his private quarters, Lord Tenshin had felt something was amiss. Then again, when he saw a figure within his own room, he had every reason to feel like so. Still, even at his old age, Lord Tenshin was a courageous man and he would fight if he has to. But when the shadow figure only revealed itself to be a familiar face, the stern look on Lord Tenshin's face softened to a warm one. "Ahhh, my son. You gave me quite a fright there. I was wondering whether there would be an assassin who came to claim my life," the old Lord joked with his favored son, despite the words he had chosen.<br/><br/>For Izanagi Tenshin (http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii28/ambrosia_kisses/Sets/705622.jpg), the young son went forward with a stoic expression on his face but began to lightly berate his father. "Please, father. You should not speak of such words. You do know that I would not allow for that to happen." At his words, his father offered a warm smile towards his offspring and raised a hand to pat onto his arm.<br/><br/>"It comforts me to know my child does care for my well-being. I had raised you, you being the youngest of all your siblings. Your older brothers were fine men, and I am still deeply sorrowed by our loss as they moved on to the afterlife. Your sisters are now living comfortably with their husbands and their children. Now only leaving you, as I want to see you live a good life.." He paused for a moment before coming closer and took his son's arms with his hands in a firm grip, "I am aware that you are deeply disappointed when I gave my decision to the court.. After all, I had appointed you to be my heir to take the throne. But.. I pray that you would understand the reason for my decision. You are still be well off, I would not leave you empty-handed."<br/><br/>At the mention of the awkward meeting at the court, Izanagi's stoic face had altered as he wrapped his fingers into tight fists. He had fought with his father about his decision. It was just absurd for the old man to return their land to their original ancestors; the true family as their ancestors from previous times had taken their land and conquer it by evil means. Ever since the recent Lord Tenshin had taken over the kingdom, he had been absorbed with guilt and had yearned to make things right.<br/><br/>So before his death would come, he had wanted to return the land to their proper rulers so he could move on with a peace of mind and heart. But sadly, his son and supposed-to-be heir did not understood his father's emotions nor find it fair whatsoever. At this, despite Izanagi's great respect and adoration for his father; he felt as if his father had slapped across his face with such a selfish decision. "How could you, father?! You had raised me to be a proper Lord after you retire or move on. You had always mention on how I would be a great Lord after you. How could I be when you would be returning the lands to those savages?!" He burst out in anger at his father and pushed the older man's hands away, bubbling in rage at this atrocity.<br/><br/>His father, however, was always calm and only looked saddened that his son could not see eye-to-eye about his decision. "I had made my decision, my son... As much as I love you, and yes, I had raised you to be a ruler.. But I pray that within time, you would understand.. For now? Please leave me be in peace. I need to slumber for tomorrow, as I shall make my announcement to the public." Moving past his son, Lord Tenshin had moved himself to walk further into his private room and heading to his mattress.<br/><br/>For his son, he could not take this any longer; now feeling as if his father had betrayed him and not allowing for anything to stand in his way. His hand had moved quickly, as he drew out an odd looking dagger from his belt and began to move forward towards his father. Lord Tenshin, hearing his son coming closer, had began to turn around to his son but had met with the dagger striking and embedding deep into his chest.<br/><br/>With wide eyes, Lord Tenshin looked to his son's face; only realizing the reality of the situation but still not believing that his own son had stabbed him; even when his eyes began to close and he breathed out one last time, gurgling from his own blood coming out from his mouth, "... M-my son.." The body of his father dropped to the floor like a log, now became a corpse as it was unmoving. For Izanagi, he had became emotionless; even as if he gazed down at his dead father and then seeing the blood on his hand. Hiding his hands beneath his sleeves, he quickly exited from his father's room to hide elsewhere to change his dirtied clothes immediately.
