[Soul Society]
(The Phoenix Temple)

Sabitsura Sho

As she moved she considered her life, always more powerful than those around her and feared for it she had learned to control the power flow to allow for stealth. After all fear led to anger, anger to hate and hate to suffering. As such to avoid suffering one merely needed to destroy the weak that would fear you - Karia had made the case well.

However one than needed to consider the strong they had to power to oppose you as such you could fear that they would interfere with you also, as such murdering the strong was also important if one aimed to avoid suffering.

However she had suffered anyway so there was some flaw in her framework.

There were people here who against all logical thought were not attempting to kill one another, even the Arrancar at the gate seemed to have missed this most basic of truths. There were times in life when one needed to consider if they were wrong.

Jou was a threat but she had let her live, and while it bothered her she did not regret it not yet at least.

Looking at the The Phoenix Temple her mind considered the likely defenses, illusions and barriers. Being cautious not to touch her own protection she drew Noren Mekuri as she entered the building to reveal any traps.

Perhaps there was power outside of murder, and there was power in this place if she could harness it.

She continued cautiously through the building avoiding those within to avoid the distraction as she followed the signs and groups to the more restricted areas, finally coming to an old library where she could research the nature of power in peace.
