Renri had his beast crash directly through the castle windows, patience forgotten.
"Willow! Dad!" He jumped off the large hawk, quickly returning it to its jewel, and sprinted through the halls. "XIA!" he yelled loudly, but there was no reply.
"Ah…" A weak groan echoed nearby.
"Dad!" Renri recognized the voice immediately.
Without wasting time, he drew his blade, smashing through the walls with all his strength, ignoring the hallways entirely. He instantly burst into his father's room.
"BASTARDS!" The sight before him filled him with horror and fury.
Two men dressed in black cloaks stood behind his father. One was attempting to pry open his chest with a blade, while the other drained his blood into jars.
Without hesitation, Renri attacked fiercely, his energy at its peak. The cloaked figures jumped back, but only one evaded the strike. The other's head fell to the ground immediately. Renri crushed it beneath his foot and leapt toward the second man.
