Hiking

[Akai Honmura]

Akai pulled herself up onto a ledge. Her body was tiring, and it was getting harder to breathe, but she was determined to make it to the top. "Why?" one might ask, but Akai had decided that this was her training for today, and if she failed she would be punished severely. That would mean not letting herself have dinner. She couldn't allow that, so she continued up the mountain. She reached up for another ledge, and part of it came off in her hand. She hung from the edge, held up by one hand, and swung her other arm up, trying desperately to grasp the ledge again. She managed to grab the ledge, just in time for the hold she had to crumble above her, sending her back down several feet. She landed on her back, and lay for a moment, before getting to her feet, and attempting to climb once more. She winced in pain, as she seemed to be worse off than she thought. Her back was not being cooperative. Still, Akai swung herself up, ledge by ledge, pulling herself up to the ledge that she had fallen from moments ago.

She sat down, allowing herself time to rest. The air was definitely thin up here. Breathing was getting harder by the minute. She began to breathe in short, difficult breaths, knowing that she didn't have much farther till the top. It was only a few feet away...

OOC: This is anyone's cue to mess with her, by preventing her from reaching the top. Also, to all warriors, she IS sided with Aesir, so feel free to be jerks. Have fun! Hey, waitaminute! Why not you, Muryllis? That'd be funny. The point is, though, that someone needs to mess with her. The reason I'm putting it here, is so I don't have to pm people...

[kosuka]

Kosuka looked down upon Akai. He thought that it was funny to see someone struggle on which to him was a simple task. He walked closer to her and looked her in the eyes. "Why do you try to reach top in such hard way? There are many easier ways." He laughed out loud and sat down in the snow. He had been raised in such a place, so to him, it was like a home away from home.

Though he had seen a lot of other people in his younger years, he was curious about her. What did she strive so far up a place up here for? and why did she tire easily unlike him when climbing? He thought it over and came up with no answer. He got up and walked over towards the top of the mountain. "You have to beat me to get to the top. If i win I can ask you any question and you have to answer truthfully. Agreed?"
