Chapter 19

Soon after waking up, we’re right back on top of the Traveling Hill. Sash was, of course, nurturing and sympathetic when I returned to our habitat at the end of the prior morrow. After massaging more sap into my body, she thoroughly explained the process of successfully retracting my particles while transitioning to a sprint at the same time. I ended the morrow with an hour of relaxation in the waterfall before finally passing out in bed. When I woke up, I felt no residual pain, soreness, or lack of mobility.

Sash stays on the Traveling Hill to watch me, offering tremendous encouragement before I begin. I’m reminded of the confidence I found in her words before my Ritual of Purpose, although I’m sure part of the reason she wants to be nearby is in case I suffer a severe injury. I’m hoping with everything inside me to master traveling on my first attempt of the morrow, if only because, like Tela, I seem to be developing an aversion to broken bones.

On my initial sprint down the hill, with Larn on one side of me and Tela on the other, I catapult forward as soon as I reach the bottom of the slope. Concentrating on the beams moving in my direction, my particles flash into the light. A split second later, as I flow up the side of the other hill, I gradually retract the grains of my body back into their natural shape.

When I feel the moment of limbo Tela warned me about, I continue to churn my legs at full speed without trying to slow. Glancing at my arms, I see shafts of light recede into my skin, but I still maintain my sprint for another fifty yards. Once I’m finally certain that I’m out of the blend, my body completely intact, I begin to slow. Unable to control my excitement, the sheer joy and thrill, I leap into the air. After tumbling to the ground and rolling across the grass, I quickly spring to my feet with no injuries at all.

“Yes!” I scream. “That was unreal!” I jump up and down while pumping my fists.

His face stoic as always, Larn nods his approval. “Very well done, Chase.”

I spin to Tela. “Double high five,” I say, raising my hands.

Her facial expression never changes, remaining solemnly blank, but a glint of approval flares from her eyes. She lifts both her hands into the air and I slap them with mine. A loud clap echoes through the hills.

I look behind me at the top of the Traveling Hill. With a huge smile on her face, Sash stands up from the grass. As she pounds a fist against her chest, I wave my hands high over my head.

“You’re now a Traveler,” Tela says.

“Thanks to you and Larn,” I reply, turning to them.

“Thanks to your own determination,” Larn says. “I’m impressed by how quickly you’ve achieved this. Only Sash and Tela have mastered traveling in less time than you have.”

“It feels incredible!” I exclaim.
