It was then that no sooner had the darkness of the beast passed that he could breath a sigh of relief. Knowing that if seem for another day passing he had averted rage inside to rule. Claw himself out of the darkness and take the animal within thru, awaken from this hell he alone was in. Lungs painfully try breath....despite the broken rib and visible scars that this confrontation had brought. With blood still trickling from the wound on his forehead and partly from the cut on his lips....straining hard to forgoe the pain and live. If not for himself but for them.....as hands yet again yearn to hold her close.

In but only be comforted by the fact she was well and not been harm in anyway by this latest set back or ordeal. That had seem been answered by her mere presence...close in and call out his name. Sent chills down his spine that he dare not move and instead still feel the pain of Faith seem rejection of him. Shifting to one knee and with head held low...dare not lift them if only spare her the grief of seeing in such state he was in now.

Beaten and bruised all over....in pain ....rock with sorrow...yet seem powerless under her touch, As she then seem feeling the urgency of things came reach over tilt his head back, brushing the hair off his face. And with what little light that filtered in the room came no doubt see all to well . The scars, bruise and trickle of blood on his face. That soon came to rub off and taint her hands as it pass thru his hair.....

She then came to shout out all too clearly as it appear thought like partly like before. She had come just in time to help pick up the pieces as he stood so very close the edge of sanity. Where in there was seem no doubt in his mind....could have gone badly for him if ever....it had progressed any further.In which case under his breath and in his mind Ronin began curse himself in been such a fool as to let things happend as they had.Athough at the same time knowing that it could have been much worse. Yet soon as he felt her arms reaching out to pull him close while she carefully spoke.

To which with a slight turn his face and a gentle look in his face....with the creature gone and mind slowly clear. As he then was help up by her, feet slightly painfully shifting back to stand.. As they were then join by Faith .....standing and soon flank by Arianna on one side then Faith on the other.

As soon enough one back on his feet he turn his gaze partly to either one as he spoke.

"It's alright ...i'm fine....now that your here and..."

He then shifts and reach out to gently feel her face in the ill lit room and then turn to kiss faith forehead lightly.

"...to know you both are safe is all that matter to me....come hell or even the threat of death means little to me....as that is how special you are to me...irreplaceable tresure....is how much you mean to me....

In that moment he somehow began to berate himself in anger, not so much in having himself beaten . In such a way that things had to be that he end up relying on her to mend or patch him up again. But despite his seething anger at the beast and desire to go after him no matter what state he was in had all but put on hold. As slowly but surely he could sense her worry about him and couldn't quite help but give in to her wishes. Which for one seem was the desire to get him back to the safety of their home where she could watch over him.

And soon enough once he was securely help but them back on his feet. That they began the ardious steps to slowly walk him down the stairs, Which he did as best he could to do so on partly on his own. Thought every step still pain him quite a bit given that with anger still seething in his mind it had become a bit hard to focus. To say the least try heal himself when all along his sense was on high alert.....watching every tree or subtile movements all around them. Fearing another attack or such ....no peace his mind could not have till they got home. Which it seem was not far off as soon it was partialy visible the outline of their home.

At which time he felt her hesitate a bit that worried him till she then began to speak.

To which time with a slight nod and then raised hand he began to try focus. Seeing the light switch just behind the front door and for the living room which . he then with a wave his hand open. Letting light slowly illuminate their way and slightly slipping from their hold he began to walk the rest the way . Thought his steps had still a slight limp to them he eventually manage to get inside. Walking in he then sat on the couch to which only then did the violence of the attack seem be still partially visible. For as he sat there one could see his tattered bloody shirt...that had no doubt been damaged when he was thrown about the room.

It was then upon hearing his response that she nodded then slightly turn her head to the side. Seem if perhaps not wanting him to see thought thru their bond it was not hard for him to imagine. How this wound stood as a painful reminder of what could or was possible to happen....how she could no doubt still easily loose him a second time for good perhaps if it ever came power again.And soon reaching over to wipe her face before turn back face him she then reach over the first aid kit box.Carefully and gently she then reach over take his hand...wipe it clean of any blood or dirt with the moisten cloth. Before tending to the wounds as best she could with what she had at hand before take one the gauze to wrap it with. This she had done so before seeing she the other gashes,scrape marks and bruises on him. And seeing that she didn't have enough to tend them now then turn face him speak.

"Ronin, I must run up to Rekha's and get a few more things, I'm out of a few, I will return shortly, you sit here and rest."

To which he then lightly nodded and despite the condition he was in smiled before reaching over kiss her lightly on the cheek.

"All right if you must...but do be careful and don't worry its not as bad you think it is.And I'll stay don't worry....be here still when you return."

And soon she exited, Ronin then somewhat breath a sigh of relief though on the side he couldn't help but overhear them speak.

"Faith"

Arianna said in a seem stern voice.

"I expect you to help your father while I am gone, I will return shortly"

In which time seem though still weary of him in away,understandable perhaps given what she had witnessed earlier. Waiting on held breath both stood face each other in the room in silence. Till perhaps both were sure Arianna had been gone before she then came speak.

"Most of my life I've heard voices in my head, whispers........seem to know things that only you would understand.......so Dad..........while Mom is gone and we don't end up scaring her half to death with worry, what was that? and is it here now? "

To which with a deep sigh and a millon things run in his head all at once Ronin then pause before speaking.

"I know....should have least told you sooner than later but your mom and i hoped it didn't have come this. That perhaps it'll have passed you over...but apparently it hasn't . And now it knows you....have inherently possess the potential to perhaps in some degree have the force within you as i have. It would no doubt possibly come after you to ....much to our dismay....and it i mean the beast within. One which was once the guardian of those you once ask me of when i gave you that k-9 pet of yours when you were young remember. ...it goes by many names and yet in reality it has but one purpuse . To stand the guardian of the kashi....Cerebus is its name...."

And so there she stood in silence seem in silent contemplation and quietly absorbing much what he said before speaking.

"So you're saying that the more I expand my knowledge of the force, this thing may come after me."

To which with a deep sigh he came reply.

"Perhaps....i can't say for certain....seeing it had been only recent....and that there has been very little i found to go by...added to which it can be quite unpredictable...."

She then slid down the wall seem in shock and in knowing it all for the first time...

"Wow, I wasn't expecting that. And from what you are saying Mom knows this, or has know about it, and yet she....she still stays with you........"

He then turn his gaze back at her while he spoke.

"Well we both knew it was not going be easy....that there would be tough times ahead.....everything and everyone was against us. And yet we both still felt draw to each other however much we tried....change and take a different path....yet still we end up finding each other unable part or be apart. Even when she had you...we never imagine it would come to this....we did our best keep you safe.....and i guess you know now."

As soon after it seem there was no doubt that the shock of it all had still linger in her mind. While she then turn her gaze back him and continue ...

"Well what does this thing want, and....why you? or me? There are others who use the force. And how did you find out about it, I mean does it just pop up one day and say Here I am..deal with it"

He then in silent surrender came speak.

" That i myself don't know....as i can only guess that perhaps it seeks....to be free? of me or let loose its malice upon the world.And as to why us....well unlike the others as best i know....it hold and seeks our kind....due to the very nature of who we are....the blood and legacy that flows within us.That unlike the other force users ....and as to how i found out about it ? Was perhaps sometime after your mother had gone....when my Master died....it came all too sudden....without warning whenever darkness fill my heart it comes...."

It was then that he pause came notice how she gaze and looked at him...at his scars, bruises and they over all state that he was in . That he painfully stood up and came knee by her side.

"....but you need not worry...as long i live....it shall not dare touch nor do harm to you....nor shall you have need to share my pain now as long i can help it. For only male heirs of my linage can carry the curse of its burden..."

"Dad you are only one person, you can't protect yourself."

Came her words as she came speak he mind came his response.

"Well one can do more than many if they feel it in their heart a cause to which to live for ....and die for. Beside how sure are you that i can't...I've still have much fight in me and live thru things far worse than you can imagine."

He then slightly falter for a moment in his step as he tried stand that made her give him a once look over spoke.

"You've got more scars and bruises right now then, I don't know what, I don't imagine they all came from this, but I bet some of the worse ones have."

To which one on his feet , saw her shake head as she then spoke.

"You need to get back on the couch, if you move and get hurt, Mom will have my head."

She looked up at him,

"Is that a fact that only males heirs get it, or an assumption?"

To which he then replied.

"No, I'm fine....heading to out room and change to a....."

That was then that his words were cut short by a loud knock on the door.

"Come out you.....murderer....fiend....and face me."
