Chapter 1 - Life is like unto a long journey with a heavy burden. ~Tokugawa Ieysau

Lifting his osmium blindfold, she could see his dull and clouded left eye with a hidden raspberry hue that contrasted greatly to his right eye which has a sparkling silver, his eyes only worked to further bring out his attractive features, she gently moves a strand of his long jet black hair which is covering his face before speaking, "I hope our daughter has your eyes when she is born."

{I will be happy no matter how she comes out.}

"True."

*1 Year Later*

{Run, I will hold them off.}

"No, if we stand we do it together, I'm not leaving you."

"We-ā€¦ have a daughter-ā€¦ you need-ā€¦ to be there for her-ā€¦"

*Whistle* *Crash* *Splash* Looking down she saw an arrow going through her stomach, she looked up at her husband and says, "Guess this means you're going to be the one taking care of her." She smiles warmly before looking through the window which the arrow came from at the burghers who are angrily yelling and destroying their castle, she looks back at her husband and says, "Go I will take care of holding them back, I know I won't be able to say goodbye to our little girl so be sure to give her enough loving for the both of us and say goodbye for me."

With a single tear of blood slipping out from under the blindfold over his eyes, he kisses her gently before speaking with his broken voice, "I-ā€¦ Promise-ā€¦ to take care-ā€¦ of her."

*6 Years Later*

Roaming the busy streets of New York, a well built man of approximately 6' 3"(1.9m) with tattoos and attractive features with snow white hair done up in a man bun and wearing an osmium blindfold, ash grey trousers and a white polo with rolled up sleeves and a stainless steel Patek Philippe ref. 1518 watch could be seen being dragged about by a cute little girl of 6 years old with long brown hair done in a braid and dewy heterochromia eyes as she excitedly pointed towards Central Park.

Struggling to get the little girls attention, the man stops her and gets her to look at him before signing, {Slow down, we have plenty of time. Nothing will change between getting there now or in a few more moments.}

Putting a pouty expression she looks at the man and says hesitantly, "Yes, daddy."

The man chuckles with his deep, gravelly voice then crouches to her level and looks into her eyes and says with affection evident in his words, "You look just like your mother whenever she wanted something. You have her eye as well, a spunky forest green which complements your silver right eye beautifully. I'm kind of jealous, maybe I should make you start wearing a blindfold as well to avoid having others look at my gorgeous little butterfly."

Quickly shaking her head she exclaims, "I'm not a butterfly; Butterfly's are weak, I'm strong like a lion, and I don't want to wear a blindfold, I won't be able to see."

Grabbing his hand she continues, "Hurry, I want to get on the spinning ride before the line is long."

"Of course, let's go." He says before following her pull towards the direction of the merry-go-round.

As they're walking through the park all the woman look on with lust and desire while the men look on with jealousy at the man's superior appearance. After another 10 minutes of walking they get in line to ride the merry-go-round while signing to each other they slowly get towards the front of the line when suddenly a man with an arrogant expression along with his wife and child cut in front of them.

Looking at the people who just cut in front of them, Pax, speaks while pointing towards the other people in line, "Mister, you can't cut in line we were waiting here first, you have to go to the back."

Looking towards the little girl who scolded him, the man scowls before yelling at her, "Who do you think you are, you filthy little girl! Where is your mother hasn't she taught you to respect your elders! I am Gannon Dynard, my father is the owner of Dynard Banking!"

Pax turns towards her father with teary eyes and gets behind him hugging onto his leg timidly while the other people in the area looked towards the area after the commotion began. The man's wife whose name is Jessica Dynard turns as well along with their child, Kevin Dynard, the woman's eyes brighten up after seeing the man with whom the little girl is with but she quickly averts her eyes knowing her husband has a very large temper. As for Gannon, seeing the girl hiding behind the tall man his eyes flash with fear but only for a second as he sees the man is wearing a blindfold. Gaining courage from the thought that the man is blind, he quickly returns to running rampant. "You can hide behind your blind dad all you want but that doesn't change the fact that you need to face the consequences of challenging the Dynard family."

Cruciatus finally speaks after the man is finished with his tirade, "Who do you think you are to try and give consequences to my child?" Hearing the unadulterated aggression and intent to kill from the man's deep voice Gannon suddenly stiffens especially when he focuses on some of the man's tattoos as he begins to lift his blindfold. Gannon is no stranger to the underworld, after all his own father sometimes had some high ranking gang members over to discuss plans about killing off other large business competitors thus Gannon quickly came to the conclusion that the tattoos covering the man's forearms and hands and even coming up on his neck were all tattoos for high ranking members and not just from one but multiple gangs. Many may not know but he knows perfectly well that for one to be in multiple gangs and have no consequences imposed on them and even become a high ranking member in each of them, this man was someone who killed his way to the top and clearly had little competition in his crusade. However, before he could even think on how to fix the situation in which he had just dug himself into, Cruciatus finishes removing his blindfold and stares at Gannon with eyes so cold and emotionless that Gannon saw himself in hallucination after hallucination of being tortured in all the most cruel methods from the brazen bull, to having his nails and teeth pulled out, to racking, he saw himself going through all of them. With fear taking the reins in his body, Gannon fell to his knees and began crying and begging, "Please *sob* *sob* please, I-I'm s-so sorry. *sob* *sob* If I k-knew I w-would've lis-listened."

"Leave, but don't expect it to be over so quickly, I shall visit you and your father later tonight. Run and you will die. Hide and you will die. Do anything to attempt to bypass the consequences andā€¦ You. Will. Die. That much, I can promise you."

Cruciatus pauses for a moment before continuing, "I don't make statements lightly and I very rarely break a promise, so when you get home you best prepare for what is to come."

Putting his blindfold back on, Cruciatus picks up his daughter and walks away without paying attention to Gannon and his family. Instead signing to his daughter, {Let's go get some ice cream and watch a movie at home, we can ride the carousel another day, how's that sound baby girl?}

Pax, gives a small nod before burying her head into his neck. Cruciatus smiles warmly and grabs ice cream before heading home and enjoying the night with his daughter until she falls asleep which is when he places her into his bed to sleep and heads out to deal with the days business.
