Chapter 1383: Story Time

Mom Chordeva stood warily off to the side as she watched me emerge from the sea of blood I had just spilt, the simplicity of this Trial allowing me to vent as much as I needed while doing something I absolutely loved; spilling blood.

She was watching me like I was some dangerous animal that might bite her, her eyes holding that wary twinge that barely concealed the amusement she felt for what I had done and what had likely led to this.

"Nothing serious, just some... I suppose we could label it as a 'lover's spat', if we absolutely must define it. No actual hard feelings or resentment, but I am a little bit frustrated with what happened... and this was just the Trial I needed."
