Enlightenment
In the secluded Monastery of Pain and Pleasure, nestled high upon a mountain shrouded in perpetual snow, Lenny faced his daunting punishment.
Having lost a bet to Master Lucian, he was now bound to a task that seemed as much a test of spirit as it was of physical endurance.
Each day, he was to carry a massive boulder, half a ton in weight, around the monastery's perimeter, trudging through the deep, unforgiving snow. This was his burden to bear for an entire month, a consequence he could not escape.
As Lenny hoisted the boulder onto his shoulder, its weight felt like the world pressing down on him. Each step was a battle against both the boulder's mass and the snow's resistance. The snow, so pristine and beautiful from afar, became his silent adversary, its cold touch seeping through his clothes and biting at his skin.
