"Someone, stop him!" the shout resounded in the air, a mere few moments too late. A few moments too late to change the fate of the man who ordered my death.
This shout happened a mere moment before I ripped the arms away from the poor fellow. If it happened before I was told to die, maybe I would still stop. If someone nicely asked me, that is. But now, after the futile attempt at my life, someone appeared and wished for me to stop.
Wasn't that unreasonable?
When they wanted to kill me, it was all right. But when I defended and retaliated, I was suddenly the bad guy?
'Gosh, I hate politics,' I thought, shaking my head with disagreement over the sect's method.
To say that this moment made me disillusioned with the Skyladder sect would be a slight overestimation. Sure, if I still harbored any expectations towards the sect I was supposed to be a part of, I would be disillusioned hard.
