The Optimistic Pessimist
"Inugami? Judging by your demeanor you can't be a first generation Inugami. Do you know that most first generation yokai are born out of the evils and cruelty of mankind." Kaguya explained. "To make an inugami one must bury a common pet dog up to its neck and place food and water near but unreachable to the poor thing, then let the dog perish fro dehydration and starvation. The head is then severed and buried beneath a busy street. It is then dug up and used in dark rituals to create an inugami."
Yes. That much he did know. It was the history of his clan, passed down from elder to elder. It was part of the reason they had lived in seclusion for so long. As far as he knew, only a handful of 'pure' Inugami existed still. He himself was, at best, 4th generation. "I know. We are taught to never forget." Raising his head a bit, he continued, "But that history, while tragic, doesn't make me hate anyone. Sure, those humans who created our kind were rotten to the core, and I can imagine that more will be created in the same way. But, I can't believe everyone is like that. When I first felt the 'True Magic', as the elders called it, I decided that was my chance to find out for myself."
