"You know we can't Dad!" Mamoru argued standing up:

"You're not a member of the council or the sages for that matter!"

"I don't care tell me!" Hoshiro raged:

"I won't accept to lose either of you so if you're both keeping a secret that has the fates of not just the universes but your own safety on the line I won't accept it!" Hoshiro cried out clutching both Hoshimi and Mamoru's hands in his and the children could feel him trembling:

"Please don't make me lose either of you because you kept secret and got yourselves killed!"

"I'm not sure if we can do it, Dad..." Hoshimi started, "they expect so much from us... At least you have only one kingdom the worry about me and Mamoru have thousands... The council wants to destroy this universe they consider it 'corrupt' but so far  Mamo and I have been able to stop them from doing anything but it's too much!" Hoshimi cried out tears streaming down her face:

"I've been dealing with this for two hundred years and I don't know what to do! I can't take it alone anymore, his am I supposed to rule people who want me dead?!"
