The force hit her like a wall. Lira's body left the ground. Air tore from her lungs as she slammed into the pillar, stone cracked behind her, dust bursting outward in a dull cloud. For a second, she couldn't hear anything. She had not seen what hit her. She did not know why she wanted to fight the boy. All she knew was that it was necessary and that he had to die. Just like the beast in training, he needed to be put down like one. She also knew that the blades she had were meant to kill him and that she had to stab the heart. She had few reasons to do things, and no feeling of revenge toward the boy, but she knew it was her mission to eliminate him.
She had never felt such a sense of purpose until she saw him for the first time. Back then, she had known it wasn't time yet, but now she knew it was time. She had never had a real goal or purpose in life, but seeing him again, she knew that her purpose was to eliminate him.
