*Steel sighed heavily, desperately not wanting to tell her, but knowing as to-be-mates that he was obligated to do so anyway. He sat down on the cool grass, looking her in the eyes.*

"My father.. well, your father knew him, I think they were friends or something... anyway-he was a strong dark sider, like your father-a ruler, although at times strict and cruel, who knew what his unicorns wanted. But, my mother was good sider-it was an arranged marraige, planned when they were foals, not knowing one was going to be evil and the other good.. They were civil one another for my sake, and had me before they were different-good and evil, I mean. They got along ok, so I wouldn't be raised in such a disfunctional family.. they both loved me-I know that for sure.. I liked the goodies better-they treated me nicer.. Time passed though, and father, he, well he..."

*He hesitated, glancing at her nervously, his eyes growing bright.*

"He.. killed my mother."

*He looked down sadly, showing obvious guilt for his father's actions.*

"I was a jade then-old enough to know it was wrong, and my mother was gone.. I never knew the true reasons of her death-I suspect, though, that she'd been cheating on him.. afterall, niether of them approved of their marraige. Well, none of the darksiders would accept him-fearful that he would turn on them as well, not wanting to accept a murderer of his own mate-even they weren't evil enough to accept such disloyalty. So he turned to the goodies who would accept him so they could "help" him. He never fit in, but they tried to cure him of his murderous traits...I refused then to be a goody, deciding they were too weak for me, and because my father had fallen to become one, I strove to be different from him in any way I could..."

*He looked away slowly, pain covering his face.*

"Please, Cattava-don't tell your father, I don't want him to know.. it would be so, so humiliating. I don't want him to think I'm a traitor too..."
