Umeko Sencho
D-rank
40Heavy rains came down on the earth as if someone had ripped open the sky, it's gashing wound pouring down cool, clear, heavy drops of liquid down below it. The earth beneath her feet began to soften only slightly as it turned into muddy terrain under the grass which became spongy with each step she took. She could hear the slight squelching sound of the mud every time she lifted her foot and placed it down again as she moved forward. She could smell the clean and clear distinct scent that grass gave off when it became wet, hell she could smell the earthy soil, the sweet but light scent of the surrounding flora, and even the not so subtle scent of animal droppings.
The rain drops hitting the leaves and ground gave a constant symphony of light drumming, soothing and draining most other sounds out. It's rhythmic song could have dulled Umeko into a state of relaxation if she were not currently partaking in a task that required all of her mental and physical attention. The winds picked up around her, the rains now hitting her face directly instead of just pouring down on her back. Tightening her jaw as she forced out a smile, she did not squint her eyes as the torrent of rain hit her face with enough force that it was starting to actually annoy her. This abundance of rain was rare in Tuschi no Kuni, and she for a moment wondered where it was coming from right before she slipped in the mud, her knees giving way and her body falling due to them.
Taking a few deep breaths she let her head drop, she was on her bare knees, sinking slowly into the mud. Her arms were stretched out in a T-shape against a piece of lumber her hands were white around the knuckles as she held on tight to it, on top of this piece of lumber were several more pieces of lumber, quite thicker than the one holding the rest up and each weighing a considerable amount of pounds. Her breathing began to steady itself and the determined Emerald haired Sencho girl moved one leg into a position where she was able to push herself up from the mud. She was careful with each movement because she knew if she didn't catch her footing correctly she wouldn't be falling on her knees, she would be falling on her face.
With a slight grunt she got back to her feet, making sure to steady herself against the every growing mud. It was slowly but surely becoming harder to walk through the wet and slippery watery earth. This task only got harder because she was carrying all this weight uphill that got increasingly more of an incline as she went up it. Eventually she wouldn't be walking she would be climbing this nerve racking, this nearly overwhelming, almost certainly dangerous mountain of a hill, if she could even call it that at this point. She didn't let her eyes feed her mind too much information about what she was seeing, she didn't want to inadvertently cause herself to discouraged. She could feel the pain in her legs steadily working on her nerves but Umeko made sure to take steady breaths. In the eyes of her parents, they didn't think their dear disappointment of a daughter didn't train nearly as much as her sister. Umeko didn't have to prove how untrue that was to her parents, and at least she knew her sister knew how hard she trained, so it placed her mind at ease to at not disappoint her favorite person.
Stopping her trek up what she could now safely say was a mountain, Umeko allowed herself a breather. She took in deep, steady breaths through her dainty nose which was as pale as the rest of her due to all the rain, draining her body on color. Gathering spit from the back of her throat she let it out with enough force that it shot forward cleanly on in the mud. She stood for a moment, gathering herself, the rain letting up enough to turn into a heavy drizzle. She almost wished the downpour would come back, as she had gotten use to it and it gave her something to mindlessly focus on. Without wasting more time she returned to her climb. All the added weight she was carrying would be guarantee to build her strength, something she was worrying about, something she frequently felt like she lacked.
This was her third trip up this mountain today, each time she carried large logs of lumber up the mountain, dropping it all off at a location near the peak but not so close to the peak that she could feel the change in air thinness. This area had a flat area that led into a small cave that she planned on clearing out and making it something of her own. She of course had the brilliant idea to turn this little project into something that she could incorporate into her training, and that's exactly what she did. It was a great idea if she had to say so herself, but she didn't think it would be so... Daunting. It was only until this third go up the mountain that she could feel the pressure on her body, the sheer weight starting to really weight her down and tire her out. Umeko of course powered through it and she would power through a few more before she would retire for the day, but until then she had work to get done and a goal to fill. A part of her almost wished she would have taken her sister's request to help her, but Umeko knew this was something she had to get done alone, and she was glad she had a sister who also understood that without pressuring her to take the help. With a few more steps Umeko made it to her destination, dropping to her knees on the rocky surface and gently letting the lumber roll off of her back as she let her the top of half of her body down enough for the lumber to roll off of her and into the cave like structure.
