Chapter 41: Never Again

The fresh beams of sunlight filtered through the blinds of Liora's window, adding a subtle warmth to her face and stirring her awake. Liora groggily rose up from her bed, pulling down the covers as she sat upstraight.

The pain of yesterday lingered, but it was not as intense anymore. Liora's heart began to beat faster as she clenched her fists at her sides, her determination rising in her chest, burning like a bright flame that had been extinguished for far too long.

'Never again,' Liora thought as she climbed out of her bed, 'Never will I kill a tamed beast again, regardless if it's for the mission or not. Never again will I betray trust shown to me again.'

Liora vowed to herself, determined to become the best Beast Tamer in the kingdom.
