Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34263048-20200104005316/@comment-35836714-20200105154324

"I forbid it and thats my last word son".

"But dad everyone i know goes to that party, if i don't show up i am gonna be laughed at".

"Yes everyone you know that includes these Monsters too and i already told you that they are no good company for an upstanding member of society".

"But we don't live in order land anymore and your views are just too backwards that many of my friends parents don't want me near their sons."

"No means no if you don't like that you will have to get your own house to set your own rules, but as long as you live under my roof you will follow my orders".

"Fine, fine you know what, you won i won't go. Are you happy now?"

"Some day when you have a nice human wife you will thank me for this."

"Yeah yeah whatever."

That was one of the rare occurrences where i argued with my son about something that he does not understand yet. The order does have a few flaws here and there, but their doctrine is not entirely false. Monsters are bad for human men, they might not literally eat them anymore, but thier influence can ruin soneone beyond repair. I saw it a few times since i moved to this village, men where snatched by those temptresses and never seen again.

I am not dump and not so backward like my son says, i fully know what happens to a man once he takes one of them as his wife and many times he doesn't even get the chance to decide if he wants her as his wife. I just want him to not make the same mistake that i once commited, i ruined our live and we had to move out of order lands just so that he was safe and my wife that turned, .... i never saw her again and it has been 1 year already.

Normally i trust my son, but this time i had a hunch that he wouldn't listen to me so i stayed up longer than normal, but once the clock hit midnight and he was inside his bedroom for at least an hour i decided to go to bed myself. With all my pent up fatigue, i immediately fell asleep and only woke up once the first sunrays entered my room and i heard someone entering the house.

I made my way out of the bed and got my trusted sword, just in case i would need it, but what i found was not a robber or some other figure intruding my domain it was my own son with a woman in his arms, but not a human girl. There he stood, my son with one of those, those monsters hanging on his lips like a leech. You knew her kind, they are the most ferocious beasts that a man can meet, a hellhound and she was practically devouring your son.

"What the fuck is going on her son?"

"Father? Fuck its already morning, i didn't even notice. wait i can explain everything if you let me.."

"There is nothing to explain here, this beast will leave my house NOW and will never come bock and you and i will a have a long talk about your punishment for disobeying my orders."

"But dad she's not like the others she's ..."

"I don't care son you know what i said about these things."

"Ok first of we are not things we are mamono and second of all i love your son and he will be my husband no matter what, got that old man."

"Oh you think you have a say in this, beast."

The hellhound was showing of her claws very visible, but before anything could go south my son toke action.

"Stop that Vera hes my father not some thug in a dark alley, let me handle this here, so please wait outside until i am done".

"If you say so hubby".

Then the hellhound went outside the house and i saw her waiting on our doorstep through the window.

"Dad i am sorry okey, i know i broke your rules and went to the party, but you have to listen to me, just this once."

"Okey son i give you five minutes to explain this, but don't think that i will change my mind about this."

"Thanks dad, okey where do i start. So i went to the party and at first i just wanted to have some fun with my friends and be back shortly, but then i met Vera who just recently moved here with her parents. I know you hate monsters, but she really is different, please you have to trust me. She is not like the others who want to travel and all that she and i want to stay here and build a life for ourselfes."

"All this talk about how different she is just confirms that she is in fact like all the others son, i am not so backwards like you think i am, i don't hate monster, because for what they are, but for what they do to boys like you. Start a life you together you say? Son you will end up just like all the others and let go of everything you like just to have sex all day."

"See dad thats where you are wrong, you only ever saw other men get taken, but you never bothered to look at them afterwards, they are happy, really happy and i know for a fact that that is something you would also need in your life. Ever since that day when mom became a mamono and you forsake her you were miserable. I know why we fleed the country back then, because the order solders wanted to kill not only her, but both of us too and ever since we live here you never bothered to seek mother out. No you just rot here day after day."

"This is not true son, your mother turned because she wanted it and then you and i had to suffer the consequences. We had to flee and give up our lives because she sought out these fiends and turned into one herself. I have not forsaken her, she left us."

"Ohh really and why did i get letters from her these past months?"

"You did what?"

"She sent me some lettes these past few months. And even though she asks about my well being she's mostly concerned about you dad. All this time she did't show herself because she thinks you hate her."

"That can't be true. She was the one who left us."

"Dad, she had no choice once she turned into a demon, she could not  go back to us, we lived in order lands after all and after you escaped with me she thought you hated her so much that she was scared to face you."

"Then tell me where is she now?"

"Shes living on the other side of the village not even far from here, but you could't notice that, you rarly leave the house anyway."

Without saying anything else i left the house and sprinted towards the direction my son told me, if she was there than i had to be a man and face her no matter what. Sure enough it really wasn't far from our house. With all my guts put toghether i made my way to the doorstep of the small hut and nocked at the door as hard as i could.

"Open the door Mary i know you are in there."

The door opened till i could see her face in the small gab, her face different yet still the same face i fell in love with. I knew what she was now, a demon most noticeable for their blue skin and dark leathery wings, but i had to admit for me she still looked the same no matter her changed parts.

"Anon why are you here all of a sudden?"

"I heard from our son that you live here Mary and i need to talkm to you face to face."

"But you hate me right? so why did you come here?"

"I could never hate you, but we still have a lot of things to talk about."

Without any warning she swung open the door and hugged me deeply.

"Ohh thank the demon lord, i thought you hated me all this time for what i did."

"At first i did, but that was just because i was confused, now i see erverything clearly Mary, i don't want to be alone anymore, i want our old life back, at least the part where we are together."

And thats how everything i my life changed once more, but now for the better and not for worse. Me and Mary had a lot of catching up to do, but my attitude towards mamono changed altogether and my son started his own life with his own wife ,just like my life started once more, with my wife that i had thought i would never see again.
