Background

He always believed that he could save his family. In knowing what was to come, surely he could change the future to suit his needs?

But the future wasn’t to be denied, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not move his family from the path they had chosen to tread.

He could walk beside them, or stand opponent before them; he could not stand aside.

He should have known they would not hesitate to strike at him same as any other. He should have known he was little more challenge than anyone else. But he’d had to try.

And now another would be called to the stand, but he doubted they would fare any better.
