So, Are You Starting To See Me In a New Light~?
Goodness… It looks a lot taller up close, doesn’t it? The idle breeze seeming to grow in strength significantly enough that a beryl-eyed beauty was forced to peel her blonde bangs away from her eyeline as she took in the mix of green and stone which seemed to erupt from the landscape in front of her, Clara Clemens looked on toward a rocky and somewhat steep path which had been carved into the slopes of some ‘natural architecture’ with a little dryness in her mouth, as well as a sense of intimidation as well.
No need to worry, the villagers said it was barely more than a hill, right? Dismissing both with a little swig from a canteen which she carried in a picnic basket currently slung from her elbow, the emerald enchantress was decked in something which would let her skin breath in the summer sun but not let that whipping wind bite at it too much, and on her back carried a pack which perhaps was a little heavier than she might have let on.
And it’s the tallest place on the island as well… Carrying what she needed to build a fire as well as a nice blanket as well in addition to the food and drink she had guessed she needed for an overnight stay, while some might have tackled this obstacle to reach the lands which lay beyond it or others simply did so to indulge the challenge therein few were likely to consider such a lofty prospect fit for an evenings lodging even in summer, but then this was not the first time that Miss Clemens had opted to defy convention.
Once I get to the top, I wager it will be like standing among the stars themselves, right? After all a little hardship and the chore of a chilly night the least of worries when she was looking at the opportunity to indulge something that happened only once or twice in a lifetime if one was lucky from the best ‘seat’ in the house, she knew that her route upward would be far from the simplest sauntering stroll but the prize which she sensed in success seemed worth it from here, and hopefully would ever more so from up there.
No sense dilly dallying then, it won’t get smaller by staring at it now, will it? With that in mind the girl not about to waste her day caught in her concern over her own capability, while she was neither strong nor speedy or particularly more so than any other girl of her age and activity level Clara knew that challenging even a humble peak like this one required more than just that. It needed patience and fortitude and a little bit of courage as well, and those were things she had in spades, right? So… what could go wrong, eh?
