Torque suddenly turned serious and stood up, hand resting on the hilt of Deathscream. "If Gai's here I'm going after him. I have a bone to pick with my brother...and it's a painful bone." He said and looked down at his three companions. "Asakai already knows what I'm about to say since she met my ancestor.
"You two don't know much about me, but I know enough about you. I'm going to even it out. The Dragonis family is thrice cursed. They are ancient, dark curses brought upon me by my ancestors. The first curse is this sword here." He half drew Deathscream out of its scabbard and dropped it back in again. "This sword is cursed with an ancient curse from its forging thousands of years ago." He said then elaborated on it. "It is a soul stealing sword. Once the black flame pattern on it completely consumes the sword, it will be able to steal the souls of its victims. These souls will be locked in torment within the blade and every soul that is stolen makes the sword stronger. Of course with every good comes the bad; the sword can get over loaded with souls and when it is overloaded it causes an explosion which kills the user. It must be bled every 150 years to release the souls inside and put them into the afterlife." He explained. "If anyone who takes up the sword that does not have Dragonis blood in them, they will promptly go mad, tearing their hair, eyes out and basicly rip themselves apart. I believe you saw that earlier." He said without emotion.
"The second curse is in regards to the person. It's called the love curse." He said. "It was brought down by Davis Dragonis whom was a womanizer. Every Dragonis from him onwards would have to suffer this curse. The Dragonis will only have two loves his whole life, one of lust and the other of true love. My great great great grandfather had a painful life before he met his true love. The woman he loved before her, he had to watch her be married with another man, one he never met before but she said it was his childhood friend." He said. "Many Dragonises suffered from this curse...not being able to be with the woman they love and have to move on to someone else."
He sighed. "The third curse is the most painful of all. The offspring curse. It was also brought down by Davis Dragonis, whom had many bastard children. Every Dragonis can only have one child per spouse. Even if they wanted to have another, they would not be able to. Every few years or so, twins would be born." He cut off a bit then looked sullen. "Like my brother and me." He said then continued. "Only one of the two twins can inherit the cursed blade. The twins will grow up being the best of friends and then they will grow apart. One will be evil, the other good. They will fight for whoever will wield the sword. One must die." He said with grave seriousness. "There can only be one child." He said then lowered his head. "The first twin Dragonises that were born had went seperate ways during life. The one named Torque was the evil one. He apprenticed under Toroque Van Sagen, whom taught him all about souls and murder. He went on a killing spree and did 150 years worth of killing. The sword blew him and and the house he was in to pieces but he lived only long enough to see his brother cradle him in his arms and then take his sword." He said then looked aside.
"Those are my family's curses. That is what I must live with and my decendants must live with for eternity."
