Rue and Night City

Rue had finally cleared the tower.

She had killed the last guardian and was standing on top of its corpse.

Rue felt

Powerful.

She felt her body leave the focused state it had entered. And with her body leaving this state, it had taken with it its ecstasy.

The joy of defeating someone stronger than you.

The feeling of hunting greater prey.

And from this feeling came purpose.

Rue wanted to feel like this once more.

And she wanted to make sure that the mysterious destiny they had entrusted upon her was destroyed.

There was only one person that could overturn even the divine.

Most people knew his name.

The strongest Hunter.

Kai.

If she wanted to feel even more amazing than how she was feeling right now, she knew she would have to be stronger.

But there was one more thing she wanted.

It came in the form of information.

She wanted to find out why she was imprisoned here.

There were too many irregularities.

Why a tower, why a princess, why the teacher?
