One day, my father's lord came to our house, but on his journey he offended Lord Tesshin by refusing to pay homage to him during the trip. The god grew angry and sent his servants to our home. Hound spirits that demanded the lord come out to speak with them. Of course, he refused.

So, I let them inside against his wishes. My father's brothers would not let him defy the lord, so I snuck out of my bed and let them enter through a side gate.

The hounds hunted the lord down and forced him to offer tribute to Lord Tesshin instead of killing him. He was furious, and when he left he had a dark sorcerer place a curse on my family for my actions.
