Mere days after Lorenzo had completed his oath Tony had approached him about making his own. It concerned the father, who knew damn well that Tony would never be out done by his siblings if he had anything to say bout it, but he could not refuse his son. It was his right to give his life to the pack as his father and brother had. So he waited. The sun was raising and any minute the boy who looked so much like his father would wander through the door, but what would he say? He was proud of his son for wanted to defend that pack and he knew that the young adult genuinely would protect his friends and family but even so the father knew this was a sibling rivalry stunt.
He was startled from his thoughts when the door opened and in walked Tony, his large figure beaming of confidence and as he entered the room there was seriousness in the air. This was different than Lorenzo’s knighting. Although he was proud of both of his boys they were very different souls and they often quarreled over it. But this was not a moment for inner quarrel. Tony took to his knee before the Sole, taking his father off guard for a second at his sign of submission. The oath was clearly written on a canvas that hung on the wall, a guide for when Tony would speak.
In a calm voice he addressed his son. “Tony. You have grown into a strong and just man. You are a fearless leader to your loved ones and a loyal son and fiancée. You know I am very proud of you. But I ask you not to make this Oath if your only reason is to gain back the privilege of rank equality to your brother. You must want this for the right reasons. You are pledging your life to your pack, to Neela, and even to Lorenzo. Should you be called on you and Enzo must be able to view each other as equals and work side by side.” Pausing he gave his son a moment to take his words. “If you wish to make the Oath out of the goodness of your heart and need to protect your friends and family alone, then you may speak. But I warn you to consider that Fenris will ultimately decide if you have led an life in his name.” Jazper knew that Tony was not as easily swayed as Lorenzo or himself with the thought of Fenris looking over them but he hoped his son would head to his cautionary words.
