Book 1, Chapter 4; Redemption
Time passed. She was no closer to her goal and what did she become? A monster. She never wanted this.
She needed to survive.
She didn’t want to kill
She had to. The weak die and the strong survive. An age-old law ingrained into her mind.
Not like this. Never again. She wanted to be free from these chains of guilt. The guilt always remains. Her hands were stained with blood, no, drenched in it.
Blood doesn’t wash out so easily. A slate so red cannot be wiped clean in a day.
She could make the first step. It was her choice and trying never hurt.
She left the guild, completely vanished off of the map. It was as if she were never there in the first place. Time continued to pass and only rumours remained, legends that were true but never proven.
(That part of her was still there buried deep within her mind, waiting for the day of her weakness, the day where it could be free to roam once more. It would wait in the darkness for now, like a predator stalking its prey, it would strike when the time was right.)
