Titans Genesis: Raven

3. Father Torao (OC)

"Are you sure Sister Rachel saw a demon, Father?" Brother Shiro asks as he walks alongside with Father Torao on their way to the Chamber of Gates. "She could be wrong. Or lying. She's never been right in the head, you know."

"I believe Sister Rachel is very sane. She's simply been tormented by nightmares for many years," Father Torao says calmly.

"But those nightmares have brought disaster to the human world."

Father Torao sighs. Must he bring that up again? "Not every disaster in history is Rachel's fault. Would you also blame her for World War I and World War II, when her fetus didn't even exist at the time?"

"All I'm saying is that many of those coincidences have become more frequent. What will happen if these coincidences get worse?"

"They won't. As long as Rachel remains here and unaware of her heritage, things will be all right."

"But that's the thing, Father. How will Rachel react once she finds out about her father?"

Father Torao knows that Brother Shiro is right. There's no telling how Rachel will react if she finds out the truth. He and Mother Harumi have been so focused on keeping the secret hidden that he did not consider how this will affect her. She is the daughter of the evilest being in the universe. A destroyer of worlds. A creature that can destroy Azarath with just the snap of his fingers. Yet, Father Torao's main concern is Rachel. Despite who her father is, she is innocent. Even Mother Harumi seems more concerned for Rachel than her own home.

Since the day of her birth, they promised to protect the child at all costs and they must keep that promise, for everyone's sake.

Once arriving at the Chamber of Worlds, they check every portal that leads to the different worlds, including the one to Kyoto on main Earth. And the demon world. However, none of the portals have been opened recently. It makes Father Torao wonder if Brother Shiro is right. Perhaps it was just Rachel losing her sanity. If so, they must be cautious.
