"Hundreds of years ago in a hidden cavern somewhere in Japan lived a clan of Wickerbeast who called themselves The Kaen Clan. The leader of the clan's name was Joruta, who was a King Wickerbeast, he had the power to control and create lightning. His mate, who was a Swamp Wickerbeast, name was Ame, she had the power to control water. Life in the Kaen Clan was peaceful, every beast knew one another and worked hard to maintain their home. After a long hunt, Joruta and other beasts returned with enough dinner to feed their families. When Joruta enters his home he finds his mate holding something. He drops his spears and runs over to her in hope it's what he thinks it is. She holds it out to him, an egg, colors of white red and black. He takes the egg from her and holds it as he smiles lightly. He is over joyed to find he has an heir to the clan.
A few months pass and its time for the egg to hatch. The whole clan gathers around to watch the hatching of their future leader. The egg begins to crack, out comes a paw and a foot, then pop! The top of the egg breaks and there in a half shell is a baby male King Wickerbeast. Joruta picks him up out of his shell and holds him up for everyone to see. The whole clan shouts and raves with joy. "Behold, your future leader! Tō no!" Joruta shouts and every beast with him.
Joruta spends lots of time training his son, making him stronger. He is almost old enough now for his ability to be revealed. His father pushes him everyday trying to reveal his ability. One day in the middle of their training, and giant saber toothed tiger attacked them in the training court. His father pushed the beast around a little but wanted Tō no to use this as a training experience. Tō no goes into a panic as he looks around for something to use. He runs over and grabs a Seki and begins to strike the beast with it. Though he has never used a sword in his life he was very talented with it, it came naturally to him. Watching him his father then knew, he was to be a master swordsman. He knew he would be able to wield any sword he was to come in contact with. After several minutes of fighting with the beast, he slides under him and jabs him through the heart. The beast falls over and Tō no stands over the tiger with a angered lust in his eyes. His father seems to be worried about that but try's not to over think it. They then drag the beast into the village and hand it over to the butcher and head home. Late that night Joruta goes to the top of the cavern, where it comes to a point. You can see for miles, all the beauty of Japan. Ame joins him shortly after, she notices something is on his mind. He tells her what happened during the fight with the tiger. She shakes her head and smiles, reassuring him he is worried over nothing. When they get back to their home they find Tō no is gone. Ame panics and alerts the villagers, they all gather up and search the woods till daybreak, unable to find Tō no.
Months pass and Tō no has yet to be seen, Ame has went into a depression and Joruta has been nothing but angry, but they know they have to go about their daily routines. As one of the Wickerbeast were cutting wood he say a little light that looked like the flame on a torch, he ran back to the village and told everyone. Joruta in hopes that it is his son, make their way towards the light when they realize they are in grave danger. The humans, they have found them. A loud bang rang out and one of the beast dropped to the ground, blood poring from his mouth. The other beast begin to skatter, they were under attack. More shots rang out and beasts were dropping left and right. They were out numbered. Joruta did his best to throw lightning at them but he was more concerned with getting as many beast out as possible. He runs around looking for Ame, he comes up on a bush where she was hiding, he called out to her but she didn't respond. He runs behind the bush only to find her laying in a pile of her own blood. Tears roll down his face of anger and sadness, he looks around, watching his clan die. He does the only thing he can do, he turns and makes a run into the forest. He runs for miles without stopping till he comes across a dark cave and hides in it until he knows he wasn't followed. He falls to his knees and bursts into tears, he has lost everything, he is alone. He eventually cries himself asleep. When he wakes, he is no longer in the cave, he looks around and sees a beautiful waterfall and trees, but he also notices little cots. Out of the cots comes Wickerbeasts of a different clan, they all circle around him and their leader approaches him. Their leader asks what he was doing at the entrance to their village, Joruta explains what happened and the leader invites him to his cot for a private discussion. Come to find out he has found himself in the Mizu clan, and the clan leader herself, Mizuki, has aloud him to stay with them. He bows graciously and thanks her for her kindness.
While Joruta was making himself at home in his knew clan, Tō no makes his way back to his. Once he enters the village he sees the massacre, he is in shock, he doesn't know what to think. He walks around, seeing his close friends all laying around dead, he then comes across his mother. Seeing that makes him break, he falls to his knees and lets out a loud rawr as tears fall down his face. He tries hard to calm himself down, he decides that they all deserves a burial worthy of the now non existent Kaen Clan. After he buries them all he notices that he never found his Fathers body, could he still be alive? Did they capture him? He clenches his paws, he will get vengeance on whoever did this. He walks back through the village and finds a human body, them vial creatures did this, how could they, they will pay. He runs off through the forest. He walked through the forest for days, only stopping to eat. While he was cooking his dinner over the fire he felt as tho he was being watched, he kept his guard up. He finishes his dinner and begins walking through the forest once more, despite the lack of sleep he is alert as ever. As he gets deeper into the forest he sees a pair of glowing yellow eyes, as he gets closer he is able to make out the figure, it looks like a horse, no it can't be, it has wings, what is that. He stops in his tracks and they stare at each other, the yellow eyed beast turns and looks back at Tō no, as if to tell him to follow. He is a little skeptical at first but he follows anyway to find out what creature that is. As he follows behind the creature at a reasonable distance, he watches him go into a giant hole the trunk of a tree, he is skeptical at first but follows the creature. He seems to walk through this cave forever, a bright light shines at the end, as he walks through he finds himself in a big open space with lots of different types of houses, as he looks around he finds the yellow eyed creature floating above him, it was very majestic looking as it slowly began to descend. It landed in front if Tō no, it was a lot bigger than Tō no expected. The creature bowed and began to speak. "Greetings, I am Kuro, protector of this beautiful land." Tō no had a surprised look on his face but he speaks back. "Where am I and what are you?" Tō no asks. Kuro smiles softly and looks around as other creatures begin to come out of their homes. Tō no was amazed at how many creatures were here, he had never seen any of them. "This is a safe haven for those whose family have abandoned then or have been wiped out or even if they want new beginnings. We call it Anzen. As for myself, And about 7 others here, we are called Dutch Angel Dragons" Kuro speaks with a soft calm voice. Tō no looks around at everyone as they gather around him in Curiousity. "Why did you bring me here" Kuro smiles and walks closer to him "i saw your village, i am very sorry. I brought you here to offer you a place of refuge, to stay while you figure things out, but you are more than welcome to stay as long as you like" Tō no sees a smile on everyones face, they all seem so happy and content. He turns and bows to Kuro "thank you, I greatly appreciate it". Everyone jumps for joy, they are all excited to have a new member to the Anzen family.
Months pass and Tō no is enjoying his new home and has even found a few friends who he has a lot in common with: Ersterva, the Worgen, and her mate Masamune, the Sergal, and Quilen, the Dutch Angel Dragon. They all help protect Anzen, and since he is living there he decided to help protect it too. He will not let the same thing happen here. He will train, become stronger and one day find out what happened to his father and take revenge on the humans who wiped out his clan."
