"One of the reasons why Dream walkers had been hiding is because of people who wanted to use their skills to go to other realms. After all, not many people can walk between realms." The Shaman said. "For years, dreamwalkers had been hunted down like animals. They had been forced to do things that they didn't want to. At the end of the day, they would have two options. Run away or… fight back. Many chose to run away and the ones that chose to fight back had to train themselves to become so powerful and ruthless. To not trust anyone. To live alone."
Ava frowned at that. For some reason, the Shaman's words hit her. She had seen some of his memories and most of them involve him studying magick, runes, and many other things that would make him stronger. The Shaman didn't just become like this because he was talented. It was also because he was hardworking.
And now, Ava just realized the Shaman's greatest motivation.
It was survival.
