6 Growing up

The sound of heavy breathing feels the room, the room pitch black as a figure seems to move mid-air. as sometimes a large impact can be heard from the floor, with a slight whisper filling the room "again, get up and go again"

Standing up Raz looks around the room the darkness doesn't take away from his movements. Around him stand large stone pillars with large gaps separating each of them only a single flame attached to the roof letting him see with his dark vision.

Standing 4.7ft short for his age with long reddish-brown ruddy hair tied back into a ponytail. Climbing a ladder to the top of a pillar checking his body for any bad injuries. Looking up his senses heighten as his tail large for his body size seems to swing side to side like a cat watching its prey.

Lowering his body he starts to jump from pillar to pillar making turns with his body that exerts a great amount of control from twists of the body to using his hands as he lands on the pillars. even his tail is used for extra momentum pushing off the ground and for mid-air turns.

after a minute of using his body as max power, his foot seems to lose its footing as he falls hitting another pillar on the way down with his back using his claws to slow the fall as much as he can. still taking the impact knocking the air out of his chest.

struggling to breathe Raz takes his time so he can catch his breath. He pulls himself up so he can lean on the wall, his body aches from the injuries as his eyelids feel heavy he gets up slowly and walks towards a large wooden door as he opens it light floods his eyes as it takes a second for them to adjust.

As he starts to walk forward the steps seem to echo through the cave walking into the main hall Raziel takes a seat taking off his shirt to check over his body. thankful nothing too bad only bruises with light scratches.

After a year of training, I'm still only at a level of mob character for fucks sake. from what I can tell I'm best out of body control and balance but I've been training them for 5years now not like I would be bad. I have been waiting for my cross tails so I can train with them to find a fighting style that works with the weapon.

BUT god scammed ME, I've looked everywhere hoping for a loot box to be hiding somewhere. Still nothing, I've given up, for now, ill just do body training as much as I want till I start gaining experience out hunting. from what I remember it takes an insanely dexterous body to use cross tail so hey not like ill be using it for a while even if I had it.

the rest of the day passed with weights, running, and reading books with yoga apart from my daily training as of late Akari has been taking longer getting home some times she's been out there for days. from what she told me the animals that did live around are starting to leave which is worrying.

as of now, I'm 8 and a half years old I am taking muscle gaining slowly as I can't remember if gaining muscle as this age stunts the growth of the body so I'm waiting till 10-12 to get more strength.

I'm not gonna take the chance to fuck my body up like in the past with bad decisions, right now I feel in good shape for a child. With how I can use my body, I don't think I can match up to a trained adult but I can probably run away from someone with no training using my climbing ability but we will have to wait and see.

The only person I can match myself up to is Akari and that's just not fair I trained with her once it was like at any moment she could take my head clean off with an attack. it was suffocating when we played tag, I wonder when we will leave this place. I really want to see the world outside and just do something I do love this place and when I do go outside the how magical this place feels.

I'll sleep early and head outside tomorrow, jumping into bed I snuggle up and hug my tail between my legs burying my head into the soft fluff. as the warmth takes a hold of me and I drift asleep.

As I awake and get out of bed I go and make a light breakfast as I start to get dressed in my clothes. Checking over all my gear grab my short bow with a bundle of arrows, Grabbing a dagger as I walk out of the cave I feel the cold wind wash over my sending a shiver down my spine.

Fuck almost forgot I walk back in and grab my makeshift snowboard as I start to climb a close-by hill. I place the board on the ground and jump onto it giving it a push from my body forward motion.

As I slide down the hill I use both my body weight leaning and my tail to turn and change directions as I speed down into the land of ice in front gets closer as I slide down a wall on my left curves like the old sledding sports on earth but these are on a huge scale.

I keep taking twists turns and jumps, as I pass by art sculptures made of ice from Grimm statues to large empty beds. The course seems to get more wild and intense as I come to the end of what can be used to snowboard down having to slow down.

wiping off all the melted snow now making my face slightly wet, a smile lines Raz's face as he places the board on his back. and with a hop to his step starts to walk around looking at all the marvels that seem never-ending in this place. as I walk in front of me I see something move, taking a second to focus on what it is I see a limping dall sheep but atop its horns, it has light blue crystals that seem to be embedded with that whatever it may be.

Taking my bow out and placing an arrow on the arrow rest. As I start to pull back the arrow I see 4 large dog-like beasts pouncing atop the goat-like creature as 4 wolves step out from behind the mount with blood covering their mouth as they finish off what they started.

Watching them start to eat I slowly back off taking my eyes off them so as not to let them feel I was here. slowly sneaking up onto a hill where I could see all of it, I take a deep breath and pulled the bowstring back letting one loose.

The arrow flys true landing a hit onto one of the wolves as it yelps and starts to run away. as other overs back off in fear of what attacked them not long before the wolf laid down on the floor. The other wolves slowly walk towards their pack member as out of excitement I peek my head out for too long.

the eyes of the largest one seem to lock onto mine as a shiver seems to go down my back making all arm hairs stand up. the wolves start to run in my direction, I pick myself up and start to run my mind in disorder and the only thought I have is to give it a minute and they'll be on me I need to do something.

Looking around I tried to think up a way to escape them or beat them. first, I can't outrun them in this place they are faster than me in the snow hands down. second fighting them upfront is a death wish they will eat me alive.

I can probably hit one when it came into view FUCK I should have taken a shot while they ran here now it will be close range. The best thing I can do is knock one with an arrow making loud noises as much as I can making it seem like I'm not easy prey, after that, I have only my dagger.

I start to stick arrows in the ground around me as I place the dagger in between my teeth as I load the bow. slowing my breath I ready myself for the fight.
