"All the words they give her,
Make her feel so soft and pretty.
She wears them but they never seem to fit,
Yes I think it's getting beter for the two of us,
Yes I think it's getting better in the worst way.
I refuse to be afraid of almost everyone,
Afraid of all the things they do or the words that they say,
Let's live the way we want to live and hope they go away,
I really hope they go away."

Nero had a lot to live up to. The legacy left by his father, Oki, and the fact that he was born only because of the Great Mother's interference. Not to mention the ever-continuing disapproval of his parents by the other Oina. And that he would fall in love with Kambo, whose skin was dark, would only further the traditional Oinas' distaste against him. Things were beginning to lighten up in the village, but there were still those who whispered.
But he wouldn't have changed his desires for Kambo for anything. Their love was an amazing thing. They had clicked almost the moment they met, and after a remarkably short amount of time, he asked her to be his mate. And anyone who saw them together knew that it was the sort of love that would last forever.
And when he learned she was pregnant, his grins were ceaseless. They were informed that there would be two children, two girls, and names were chosen. Aleu. And Nori.
If only he knew what type of child the latter would be, perhaps then his grin might have faded.
His children were everything he wanted, though he harbored a slight fear of Nori. The girl was so odd... but he never let it show, and gave them the love that they deserved. And it nearly made his heart stop, when one day he returned home, after Amaya felt that Nori was in danger. Kambo beaten, Aleu, still so young, with her skull cracked. And Nori missing. It had been Gin to do it, Spector's assistant. Nero went with his mentor to find her, and Nori was rescued from the bloodhungry woman. When given the task of deciding Gin's punishment... Nero would claim it pointless.
