62 Hidden Division (1/2)

Shadows eyes turned cold as she ordered. ”Korah begin to dig tunnels underground near the entrance as soon as possible. Make sure to go as deep as possible.”

The little rabbits ears twitched slightly in response. ”Understood.”

Korah quickly leaped off of Shadows back and began to burrow a hole into the ground quickly disappearing from sight.

Upon seeing this Shadow grinned to herself. 'It's good to have someone so loyal by my side.'

Born an orphan she never had the chance to trust someone truly as everyone has their own interests and goals, those she became friends with in the orphanage left to join a family or try to enter a sect or school while she chose to rely on her own efforts.

Without status or power not many would stick around for long, as she entered the sect she was surrounded by enemies who were dissatisfied with her becoming the disciple of the sect master.

Through many trials and tribulations she increased her strength earning others admiration but even when others became close to her she still felt alone.

What they were interested in was not her but the gains they would get from being associated with her if she took over as the next sect leader one day.

The day of the meeting of the elders was a good example of how fickle those friendships were, some came to give half hearted farewells while most did not show up at all.

As far as they were concerned without the sect leader present she no longer held any powerful backing and now was to be used as a sacrificial pawn so others could live on.

While being lost in thought about her past experiences she felt how her previous self was actually quite a lonely person who rarely acted on her own impulses.

She helped those who she knew with her ability to treat their wounds in order to survive with the idea of equal exchange and then after joining the sect she did so as instructed by the elders and from missions to earn resources.

She never saved anyone in front of her and never started a fight or killed anyone impulsively, perhaps it was her way of self preservation.

Treating or saving someone in need can sometimes provoke the enemies of that person to look towards herself so she could not help anyone thoughtlessly, she was no saint who would risk her life for a stranger.

Killing or harming someone with a powerful backing could be even worse, being hunted down by a powerful family would not end well.

'Perhaps I need to think on what type of person I wish to be in the future' she thought to herself. 'I know I could not watch as my family is slaughtered, I also helped the tiger clan in a time of need and have given a home to many weaker beasts who were on their own.'
