Side Story- Black Lotus

(Lunarea Star System- Planet Europa)

(Atlas University- Holodeck Training Room- 0123)

A cool wind could be felt as a sharp sword kept swinging relentlessly at the moving targets flying around the training room.

The cultivator practising her sword techniques had been in the room for hours on end with no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Even as beads of sweat ran down her forehead and she could feel her tired worn-out muscles begin to give out.

Every time she felt like quitting there was a certain face would flash in her mind.

She needed to change.

She needed to become a better person.

Leona bit the corner of her lip and tasted the sweet metallic tang of blood as it filled her mouth. 

This sudden painful sensation prevented her from falling unconscious.

Just one more sword technique….

Leona closed her eyes and felt the sword qi travelling through her meridians begin to circulate in a strange new pattern.
