What makes it okay for people to play God? To prey upon others? They say we are different from animals and insects? But that isn't true...is it?
People have their own cliques no one actually thinks of them as packs that's what wolves do. But humans did too. And there was always a leader always a follower.
Ants just like them humans always work for their colony always wanting more though and if humans strayed they were killed or killed themselves since the colony was either pushing them out or they felt they were no longer needed.
Humans were no better than the animals they looked down upon. No better than the insects that crawled around their feet. It was still a life cycle of kill or be killed, you have to survive. One way or another.
That was what Lia had learned. She learned that the hard way. Her pack had not been strong enough. Killed by other humans who were stronger. Peace was just a dream the elders had spoke of.
There was no dream here. Not unless you had money, power, and followers behind you. Other than that you were nothing.
She still thought that to this day. Her mother had been a proud explorer of the ice wanting to share her wonders with her the world. Her pack had been her mother. Lex.
Now...she was alone.
Wielding her mother's weapon that she had always kept on her. Some form of a spear. Lex long ago had showed her how to wield it to use it. All Lia could do now was to just survive. Get back to the main road. Find help find the ones who took her mother then get home.
Lia was raised to learn to fight, to take pride in what she did, she was raised to learn how to kill, Lia had learned from her mother she was just another creature on this Earth no better than an animal.
Only thing was she was scared. She could hear her heart pounding through her body into her ears. She heard a snap and turned spear clutched in both hands ready to strike. Little to her she didn't know she was being watched.
If she would have looked up she would have seen the almost invisible thing up in the trees looking at her focused on her.
She spun slowly keeping low to the ground before backing away into the large flora behind her. She laid herself flat to the ground waiting patiently as a lion would their prey.
