CH101 The Fury Way
***
The Fury family rules were, to Alex's surprise, quite intuitive and easy to understand. Still, Earl Drake made sure to explain each in full, to prevent Alex from ever violating them by accident.
"The Ancestral Grounds are the most important location for the future of our family," Earl Drake began. "Securing it means securing the next generation of Furies.
"Of course, unlike in any other family, such a task would be considered thankless. No Fury would willingly shoulder such a burden... unless it came with suitable rewards.
"So, our forebears made it simple—you can only be accepted as Head of the Fury Family if you are the one who guards the Ancestral Grounds. This way, the role comes with real, tangible benefits... and the authority tied to safeguarding our legacy."
Alex nodded. That part made perfect sense.
