It was just a few years ago, at most five, when she first appeared in the sect. Unlike others who were recruited and made to pass trials before they were accepted into the sect, she was scouted and brought to the sect.
No one knew where she came from, and no family appeared to claim her. No records existed of her before she appeared at the gates of the Shadow Fang Sect alongside three elders who looked more exhausted than victorious after bringing her back. That alone became enough to spark rumors. Some claimed she was the daughter of a fallen royal family. Others believed she was a survivor from one of the forbidden regions beyond the Black Dune Sea.
The more absurd rumors claimed she wasn't even human to begin with, but rumors were meaningless in the Shadow Fang Sect. Strength was truth, and the veiled girl possessed too much of it.
