Chapter Seventeen

I stepped up to the first of the three walls while Mona stared at the stopwatch in her hand. With a deep, centering breath, I bolted forward. I gripped the rope of the first wall and pulled myself up with ease. I swung my leg over, lowered myself part way and released my grip. I landed hard on my feet and focused on the second portion. I sized up the wall and ran toward it as fast as I could. I jumped at the last moment and grabbed the rope as high up as I could. It was a struggle, but after a few seconds I made it to the top and lowered myself back down on the other side.

“One more, you sure you don’t want to give up?” Mona said gleefully. It seemed the more exhausted I became, the more pleasure she took in the whole gauntlet.

I moved into position and thought I’d try something a bit different on this wall. I wanted to incorporate my skills as I had in the water. I knew my Sight skill wouldn’t help, but I’d probably be able to use my Nature Manipulation skill to help me climb over. I stepped up to the wall and grabbed the rope. After I leaned back, I planted my feet firmly against the wall and let out a long breath. I paused as a sharp pain rose in my chest, forcing me to release the rope. It felt almost like spirit was about to explode from my scar. I put it off to how hard I was breathing, but something definitely felt off.

I concentrated on the top of the wall and took a deep breath. After adjusting my grip, I activated my Charge skill. My legs moved despite myself and I ran up the wall. I struggled to keep a hold of the rope, using it to pull myself back onto the actual wall as I ran. Everything around me blurred as I shot upward, and I could no longer distinguish where the top of the wall was. I felt the end of my Charge skill coming, but I still wasn’t at the top. The skill deactivated and I slowly peeled back from the wall. I braced myself and prepared for the fall back to the ground. As I fell, my arm instinctively reached out and grabbed a hold of the rope. I held on tight and looked up, relieved to see I’d made it nearly to the top. I pulled myself the rest of the way up and sat on the top edge of the wall to gather myself.

Mona cheered from below. “What the hell was that?! That was amazing!”

I chuckled to myself. If she would’ve known how close I was to falling to my death, I’m sure she’d be singing a different fucking tune. I swung my body over the opposite side of the wall and rappelled down. As my feet hit the ground, I hurried over to the massive sand box and looked around.
