When she sees her father again she wastes no time embrace him. She expects him to return the same instead met with a cold gaze of the person she knew as her father. He didn't gave her sincere smile or lovingly gaze only a grin and a stare that look through her soul. She didn't know what to do.
"Morgan my daughter, I have need for you," he said with a voice like her father and yet isn't. In her mind is incoherent, multiple thoughts flew over her tiny teenage brain like a shockwave. She didn't know what to respond.
At that time, she thought to herself that as long he is the person she knew as her father is here she is fine. Yes, she is fine, and one day, his father will return.
She believed.
The trip to the Shepherds camp is uneventful for Morgan, as always. She enjoy walk and watching scenery from afar, as long she is alone. It's been an nth time she walk with a company. She didn't enjoy it even if the Exalt is here and she's been with the Shepherds for a year, and yet she can't even properly connect with everyone.
During her "father's" crusade, to her Shepherds is merely a bunch of weaklings who dare to oppose her "father". She remembers taunting them, loathing them, calling them fools for opposing her "father". Look at her now, a Tactician for the Shepherds, and now working under the enemy she once sworn to defeat, how funny to think they never recognize her during the war, and how irritating they actually accept her easily as their comrade. If only they knew the truth.
She snaps her thoughts back to reality. The Shepherds camp is too much to bear for her, the atrocity she has done to them… she doesn't deserve to be treated like a friend to them, and yet she is here with them in this camp.
She knew why the Shepherds and the Exalt gathers here. It's one of those council meeting they do every month. Only the first original members of the Shepherds attend it, and Morgan is the newest addition.
Morgan thinks of this as a sick joke as she is the newest member of the Shepherds yet she gains their trust so easily through her skills as Tactician they included her as important members of the group. It almost like destiny placed her here to mock her for what she did. It's either they trust her too easily or she is here because destiny said so.
The attendees is set, everyone sits in circle with the Exalt is the first to begin. She has to endure the meeting until it finished, it's going to be a long day.
A/N: I'm back! But not for long because my high school schedule requires me in top form every day and that means I have to study 24/7 for national exam and the college exam.
Damm, I miss doing this.
Anyway please read and review this amateur work! Good Evening!
