Techno had never felt a fear so powerful then the one he was feeling right now.

Techno ran into his son's bedroom to find a broken window and a puddle of HIS SON'S blood on the ground next to the window. There was a lot of it, staining the ground purple. It was like a tsunami, destroying the innocence of the room.

Techno did not hesitate to run downstairs and slam the door open. Chat was screaming bloody murder, spilling threats to whoever the fuck had the stupid idea to take his son. In the pitch darkness of the night, Techno couldn't see anything. That didn't stop him from putting on his armor, grabbing his axe and a few other items and marching out to the chilly night.

All the while, he was cursing at him and blaming himself. Stupid, should've protect him more, should have done a patrol. As he continued to beat himself up, he trekked along the snowy border of the woods. The snow on the ground was heavy and made him sink into the cold snow.

Only a few minutes later however, his blood began to boil when he spotted  a shadowed figure in the distance. It looked as if it was carrying something over its shoulder and if he strained his ears, he could hear crying coming from that direction. He snarled, sounding more animalistic than anything else and moving as swiftly as he could through the snow.

His grip on the axe tightened enough to hear a slight cracking noise as the wood splintered. He growled and bared his tusks, ready to leap out at whatever took his son. With a cry, he launched forwards only to slice down a tree. He looked around and to his horror, realized that he had been chasing a shadow this whole time. His son was still out there and he had no idea where. And for the first time in a long time, Techno felt himself begin to weep.
