Jayde life had come down to only one thing — killing — she had become a harvester of life. Minute by minutes, day by day, she reaped the life of thousands of beasts.

With an expert twist of her sword, the giant horned beast in front of her fell, its jugular split, warm blood sprayed, covering her, but the warmth did not penetrate the deep chill that encased Jayde. Standing on top of a mountain of corpses, Her pale, small face, expressionless, her icy eyes assessed the surrounding area.

Jayde had lost track of time, she had no idea how long she had been stuck in this area. She had experienced every sort of death that you could imagine.

She had been ripped to shreds, disemboweled, beheaded, flayed, burned alive, poisoned, crushed and one time even melted into a gooey puddle by acid. She was now immune to death, she had gorged on death, becoming intimate with it, death had become her friend, her closest ally. No longer did she fear death.

"Congratulations, you have passed the test" White's voice rang out.

Not a shadow of emotion passed through Jayde eyes, a while back she would have been proud to have passed White's "assessment", but with the experience that she had just gone through, Jayde had changed.

Her training through the Xi Corporation had honed her into a blade, the assessment had hammered away the brittleness, whittling away her weaknesses, forging her into the sharpest blade on Doha.

With White's announcement, Jayde disappeared from the prairie and reappeared in the original room where she first met Isha.

When Jayde appeared, Isha was distressed at the changes he could see in her. He knew that White could be a bit of a hard arse, but he hadn't realized how much he had changed over the eons, He now regretted that he had not insisted on watching White assessment test, he now knew why White had barred him from watching, as he knew that Isha would have interfered, he would never have tolerated the brutal training that Jayde must have endured to have changed to such a degree.

[What the hell did you do, White] Isha asked White telepathically, his mind voice betraying the distress that he was feeling.

[Stop being such a wuss Number one, she passed my special test]

[You IMBECILE, you broke her, you know just how important she is to the survival of this world] Isha mind voice vibrated with fury

[Of course, I do, why do you think I wanted to make sure that she was worth the effort, now look at her, she now has the strength to handle to obstacles that are coming her way] White mind voice said emotionless.

[I am looking at her, you idiot, and when the time comes to make the choice, with the way she is now how is she going to choose the right path, you have turned her in a bloody psychopath!]

[Well if you hadn't babied that woman last time, would this world have ended up the way it did, would we be facing annihilation now? Your damn softness put Doha and countless of worlds at risk, this time I will not make the same mistakes as I did in the past] at with that final statement ringing in Isha head, White disappeared.

Watching White disappear, Jayde turned to Isha

"How long have I been gone?" she asked, Jayde was interested in knowing just how long she had spent away from Doha.

"It's been two days since you entered the testing area," Isha said.

Two days — Jayde was surprised at that fact, it had felt like she had been gone for a couple of years.

"Well Jayde, congratulations for passing White's test, you have earned an extra ten points, would you like to use the exchange system now?" Isha asked with forced cheer.

Isha found it disconcerting dealing with this icy cold person.

"Hmm" nodding her head in agreement, Jayde walked up to the exchange screen.

Ignoring Isha, Jayde started to browse through the items that were available.
