Kat PoV
With the way shown to me through a euphoric resurgence of the bond working once more, I resumed my rush through the frosted over forest, the chilly air filling my lungs as my feet glided over the snow.
I had no real idea where the Bloodstone Clearing was in terms of my current position, as the hours I had run after managing to flee from the Oni and monster infested clearing were now nothing more than a blur to me, my heart still pounding at the thought of what might have been if I was just a tad bit weaker.
Who knows what truly awaited me if I had been weaker and forcefully taken by such a powerful tribe of Oni; would I have still been the Kat that Jahi and the others had fallen in love with, or would I regress into the looser, unsuccessful Kat that I had once been in a life long since over?
