The past week had been eventful, full of mysteries and absurd discoveries for Tama. Using shadow teleportation, she'd tracked the very root of what led to her clan's downfall. Her first stop? The Holy Church of Eldoria.
As a blackcat folk, she knew being caught in such a place; one that despised her kind meant instant execution. So she infiltrated it at night, when everyone was asleep… and when her powers worked best, with shadows lingering thick in every corner.
The first thing she found in the so-called holy scripts was a scroll. A declaration:
The BlackCats didn't just bring misfortune, they brought calamity, omens, and fear.
Therefore, they had to be exterminated.
Or so, that was what was written on the surface.
Beneath it… lay something darker.
Something only S-rank hunter Freya seemed to know.
