Minori Mao was deep in thought, she had caused a grave error which hurt her only child. All she could do in that moment was lower her head on shame. What has she done? All for a blade....She had hurt her son.... She was holding the very blade in question. The blade was important to her because it was the very sword that Khalon wield. The blade was now chipped from it falling to the ground. Though it meant so much to her, she wondered if it was worth causing her son to cry. She could still recall the memory as it laid fresh in her mind.

She was meditating on the backyard, allowing the tranquility of the environment guide her to the astral plane. Just as she was within the grasp of reaching it and to possible unlock inner peace, a loud noise brought her back to reality.

"What could my little Dragon warrior be doing? He knows not to train in the house!" She got up and went to see what had happened .

The moment she got in the house, her stomach dropped and her eyes widened.

There in the small room that was once Khalon's was her son wearing Khalon sash as well as holding his sword. The ice blue blade was in his paws and worse of all. It was now chipped. It appeared to be damaged from being dropped from a great height. Buster tried to hide the blade behind his back, though his mother already knew everything. The kitten hybrid knew that he was NEVER allowed to hold or TOUCH that blade ever. Now he had damaged it.

"BUSTER MAO! I TOLD YOU NEVER TO TOUCH YOUR FATHER'S BLADE!! NOW YOU HAVE DAMAGED IT!! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?! YOU HAVE NO IDEA TO WHAT DONE?! YOU BROKE THE LAST THING I HAD FROM YOUR FATHER!! REMOVE YOUR FATHER'S SASH! GO TO YOUR ROOM!!!!"  Rage clouded her eyes as she ripped the sword and sash from her son.

"Mom...I'm sorry...I just wanted to be dad for halloween..I forgot that you told me not to touch the sword...please I didn't meant to break it...maybe we can fix it?" The little dragon hybrid tried to amend his mistakes. He had never seen his mother this angry before.

"YOU CAN NEVER LIVE UP TO HIS NAME! YOU SHOULDN'T BE COMPARING YOURSELF TO HIM, YOU DISOBEDIENT CHILD!!!" Before she could even think, her claws came down upon Buster arm. Hurting him like a gash from a fall.

Buster cried in pain. He ran to his room as tears told down his cheeks. His sobs echoed throughout the house.

Minori calmed down which finally allowed her to see what she had done. How could she hurt him over something that may as well have been a simple mistake. She looked down at her claws, not too surprised to see blood on them. Her eyes watered greatly as she dropped to her knees. Khalon would never be so harsh about such a matter, why had she then?  Now she had to make amends with her son. She went to his door and knocked softly.

"Buster....can I come in please?" Minori asked

The door unlocked. Buster was on his heating rock, licking his wound that she caused. Dragons were know to lick their wounds as a means to heal them. Khalon even did so a complete of times as well. Buster look in her direction before looking away in fear, the thought of her words made him scared of his own mother.

"Buster...I am so very sorry...I allowed rage to blind me and I hurt you.....Those words were words that I should have never said...I can't take them back but I do promise that I will never say anything like that ever again. You will be greater than your father, I know that. He would be honored that you would be him for Halloween.....I hope you can forgive my mistake..." She placed a paw on his injury to comfort him.

"Can I wear his sash for Halloween? Are you sure?" The kitten asked, looking at her as excitement came into his golden eyes .

Minori could only smile softly as she nuzzled her head against her son's. "Of course my Dragon warrior"

"I'm sorry for damaging Dad's sword...." His ears drooped "I tried to get the sash but it dropped from the shelf and broke. I tried to catch it but... "

Minori just hugged him "It's okay. I'm sure Khalon forgives you. As do I"

"I forgive you too ,Mom" He hugged her, his arm gutted but he bare with the pain.

"Let's patch up your arm and I will show you how to fight more properly with your claws" She smiled

Buster smiled as he rushed to the kitchen. Minori soon followed.

No matter how the right starts or the reason behind it. Forgiveness cures all.
