Here's the next chapter:
*Chapter 8: The Hidden Truth*
I couldn't shake off the feeling that the scroll had revealed a shocking truth about my identity. I felt like my whole world had been turned upside down.
I sought out Kenji, demanding answers. "What does the scroll mean?" I asked, my voice shaking with emotion.
Kenji's expression was serious. "The scroll speaks of your true heritage, Kaitlyn. You are not just a descendant of the kami, but a direct heir to their throne."
I stared at him, incredulous. "What do you mean?"
Kenji took a deep breath. "The kami were not just gods, but rulers of the ancient world. And you, Kaitlyn, are the last living heir of their royal bloodline."
I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. I couldn't wrap my head around the idea that I was royalty.
But Kenji wasn't finished. "There's more, Kaitlyn. Your parents, they weren't who they seemed to be. They were part of a secret society sworn to protect you and your heritage."
My mind was reeling. What did it all mean?
And then, Kenji dropped another bombshell. "You're not just a warrior, Kaitlyn. You're a key to unlocking the secrets of the ancient world."
I felt like I was drowning in a sea of secrets and lies. But I was determined to uncover the truth, no matter what it took.
What do you think? Should Kaitlyn continue to uncover the secrets of her past, or should she focus on her training as a warrior?
