(Mount Xilean- Fifth Peak)
(Ten Days Later)
Humans were adaptable creatures of habit.
But that didn't mean that they could not get bored.
Xu Lu took in a deep breath and gently exhaled. She unsheathed the long sword attached to her hip and made a series of smooth free flowing movements.
The blade swished through the air accompanied by a cold gust of wind.
The temperature plummeted around her body and frost slowly crept up on the grass below her feet.
Every day was the same routine.
Sleep for three hours. Wake up. Meditate. Go outside.
Practice swordsmanship. Rinse and repeat.
The only exception to this routine was when her master showed up and demanded that she go towards the river immediately.
Xu Lu hated the very sight of her master.
Her body would always involuntarily shiver and cower when those dark grey eyes stared directly at her.
