In this scene from book 1 of the Bringer of Chaos series, his father has just joined Pietas. Less than sixty seconds in, they are already insulting one another.
"I find it incredulous that the indignant and righteous Mahikos who led our people in rebellion against humanity has fallen so far from his ideals. What happened to the motto 'Freedom, Fairness, Fortune' that rallied our people? I was four years old. We were still hidden then. No one knew Dessy and I existed except you and Mother. But you hoisted us both onto your shoulders and we stayed behind darkened glass and watched as thousands of our people cheered in the streets. You'd won them freedom and they shouted your name. Oh, in that moment, Father, I wanted to be just like you. No, I wanted to be you. Now?" He ignored the angry twitch tugging at one eyelid. "You want us to treat humans as equals. They never treated us as such. Even now, we're hated and reviled. Putting them on the council will make them haughtier. I want nothing to do with humans."
"Then you want nothing to do with me, Son. Humans are all I care about."
And wasn't that the naked truth of his father's betrayal? He had turned his back on their people. He had turned his back on his son.

Very interesting. Pictures and voice are great
Thank you! I really loved this voice actor’s ability to portray Pietas.
A compelling snippet and an engaging video. Tweeted, Tumbled, and Pinned.
Ooh thank you so much!
I enjoyed the video and the snippet. Lots of tension between father and son!
Glad that tension came across. 🙂
