Betrayal

The night was long. Long enough to leave me exhausted. With the light returning to the world, the ground also settled down. It became still, as if it never moved before. I looked at this with interest. The world was a very interesting place, and if I had the chance, then I decided that I would explore how this happened.

I glanced at the tree that I was nesting on. It was pitch black, and it was not the ash that I had to avoid. So far, that had been working out for me. I kept walking forward, and staying within the path that I was supposed to take.

"What the hell are you doing, Hu Jin? How could you betray us like this? I will fight you to the death!" I heard a sound from ahead.
