The Sunspire Heights, Round Two

Echo accepted his touch and his praise. It calmed and anchored her. "Thank you, that was a truly rude pebble, honestly." She faked a scoff at the direction it had gone. Turning away from him, she was determined to finish their descent. It wasn't much further now, they were nearly halfway down at this point. She set her sights at the bottom of her path. Her body as tall as she could make it, she feigned as much confidence as she could muster, even attempting to raise her tail.

She trudged downwards, ignoring her obnoxious naysaying brain. She made sure to look. She knew it was important. She had to get used to it. She had to see where the danger lie. It was important to her survival. She needed to understand these things. Her body needed to be ready for the things too. As did her mind, especially her mind.

She was grateful to have reached the bottom with no further incident. She turned back to look up at her mountain. From down here it seemed rather silly. But to her it was all to real. Fear was a strange thing. She turned to her ever patient companion. "Thank you, again. I'll be back again in a week. Would you be willing to accompany me one more time?"
