twitching in dissatisfaction they are
all my family tonan promised me she
wouldn't T hunt the Gans sha Mouse Clan
she emphasized we are not enemies you do
not understand her mother replied slowly
shaking her head child go to the corner
of the West Wall beneath the cotton
fluff is a small box open it although
shushu was puzzled she obeyed with
Nimble movements she Unearthed a small
wooden box and opened it to find a
single item a vibrant green Crystal mama
said to return once you reach the Lord
level m y child is remarkable you have
not disappointed me do shushu mother
said filled with pride this purification
crystal is a gift for me to you if you
consume it you will regain your freedom
freedom shushu repeated stunned before
erupting mama what do you mean it seemed
she grasped her mother's words yet
remained confused when her mother had
been reluctant to let her go it was
because of her innate Talent compelling
her to allow those bipeds to bind her to
servitude but now that she had reached
the Lord level if she consumed this
Crystal she could regain her freedom
without facing any repercussions shushu
stood there seemingly dazed speechless
her mother understood All Too Well her
child as heart was pure having formed a
bond with the bipeds that enslaved her
with tears in her eyes she continued 19
since you left your father and I have
constantly thought of you and worried
for you I know that those bipeds can
provide you medicine so effortlessly
they must treat you well but what value
is there in a life of servitude listen
to your mother consume this Crystal and
you will be free from the contract you
will no longer need to rely on the
bipeds and can continue to grow your
father and I paid a tremendous price to
obtain this Crystal for you shush shu's
mother urged earnestly then gazed at her
daughter with hope nudging the wooden
box upwards with her paw signaling her
to hastily consume the crystal. no I do
not want to leave my dear tonan Shu
exclaimed jolted awake by the touch
hurriedly waving her hands tontion is
very kind to me and I have made many
friends we really like them I and her
panic she raised her hands too high
causing the wooden box to Tumble to the
ground and the green Crystal rolled out
disappearing into the soft fluff her
mother rushed forward quickly rumaging
in the fall area and soon retrieved the
crystal looking up at shushu she sighed
19 you may be my only child left will
you still leave me those words struck
shushu like a heavy Hammer causing her
head to buz yes perhaps her mother had
only her and she might be her only
remaining kin was she truly going to
leave confusion clouded shush shu's eyes
yet thinking of gu Tintin's kindness she
gently shook her head mama tontion is
very capable she can help me find father
and my siblings you doubt will not be
alone suddenly Furious shush shu's
mother retorted I have said that we do
not need the assistance of bipeds even
if they help us find you our clan will
expel us without the protection of our
kin how will we survive here we possess
the bloodline of the Lord level yet our
small size renders us weak in combat if
we are not united we would have been
devoured long ago once our kins see us
mingling with humans they will surely
drive us away this is a rule ingrained
in our very bones and it is precisely
why those awakened with special talents
are exiled we the forest beings are
inherently enemies of bipeds I in truth
such kin were abandoned however due to
the rules and a faint blood Bond they
would not directly kill such young ones
but rather Exile them Theo survive they
could only be bound by the bipeds Theo
return they would have to wait until
reaching the Lord level utilizing the
purification Crystal to break the
contract thereby being permitted back
into the clan this was why when shushu
had departed her mother had urged her to
