*In the past*

Shin Mao:*fights a crazed old swordsman that has been harming those who come across this wasteland* Stop this nonsense! You are harming innocent people. Something I hate!

Crazed Swordsman: ....MuSt PrOtEcT HeR! *attacks crazy with no plan or stragety or skill*

Shin Mao:*thinks* Her? Is there someone here? *He quickly defeats the crazed man. Sadly through killing him, his body joining the fallen victims from earlier* Forgive me...

*As the man boy falls, there in the middle of the field is a tiny sprout which is growning on which seems to be a grave for a small child. Possibly the swordsman daughter. So this is why he when crazy.... Any parent would if they lost a child, Shin Mao would have for any of his children. All this man wanted to do was protect the last piece of life in his daughter. The small plant sprout in front of him*

Shin Mao:*Blood from the sword he used falls on the small sprout* I'm so sorry little one....So So sorry.... *leaves with a broken heart*

*When he returns home, he ignores everyone for a little time for himself. To try to adjust to what he just experienced*

Little Mao Mao: Daddy! *runs to his father* You're home! What happened on your latest adventure?! Tell me! Tell me!

Shin Mao:*exchausted sigh* Not now, Moo Moo....

Little Mao Mao: But Daddy...

Shin Mao:*Yells* NOT NOW!! *freezes as he remembers the small sprout* I'm so sorry son..., please just give papa some alone time. Then I'll tell you, okay?

Little Mao Mao:*nodded excitedly, goes to play*

Shin Mao:*Hopes there won't be any young sprouts in his children futures any time soon*
