Xenia waited there for a while, wondering how she could get even higher.
A light breeze is blowing around. The surrounding bushes started swaying slowly in that wind. Because of their swaying, a sound came to Xenia's ears from inside a nearby bush. Xenia looked up in shock. Same word again. Xenia did not understand what the sound was. She couldn't even see anything.
"Who's there? Why are you making such a noise from behind the bush? What do you want? It's no use trying to scare me. Come in front of me if you want. Why are you hiding like a coward?"
No response to such strange and random questions from Xenia came from within the bush.
Xenia thought that this was the unknown force that was preventing me from taking water and not allowing me to reach the top.
Without any response to Xenia's words, continuous sounds came from the bush. But Xenia could not understand what the sound was and why the forest was moving like that.
The wind was travelling from east to west. This time the wind changed its direction and started moving from south to north. As a result of such a change in the direction of the wind, the roots of the trees growing on the hill began to shake. Which easily caught Xenia's attention.
Xenia saw the scene and thought it was a snake at first but later realised it was not a snake.
"That's the only way I can get up here now. I need to get up before the wind changes."
That root is far from Xenia. Her height cannot reach there. As a result, she will not be able to climb the mountain easily with the help of that root. Xenia fell into thought. She started thinking about what to do now. Meanwhile, it has been a long time since she came here. Ryan is scrambling for water. Xenia doesn't know how Ryan is now. Can Dragia keep up with him? She started thinking about this.
"I can't grab this root. It's too far from my height. Huh! Now there's only one way. I have to jump from here and grab that root. Only then can I reach the top. But if my hand slips or jumps and If I don't catch that root, I'll fall down. And I'll get hurt by falling on the rocks. Whatever I do, I have to be careful. There's no way to miss the mark."
Xenia steeled her mind as she thought. She should not think about these things anymore. She has to fetch water for Ryan. No matter how much she is in danger. She must go.
Finally Xenia made up her mind and prepared to jump. The right leg was slightly withdrawn from its position and all the weight of his body was placed on that leg. Then she closed her eyes and comforted her mind. Then open her eyes.
Xenia couldn't have imagined that she would be able to catch this root so easily. Once rooted she looked down. She had risen even higher than that before. But then she was not afraid. And now looking down, the soul seems to want to come out from inside the body.
This time she looked up and slowly lifted himself up with all her body mass on her arms.
She was having a lot of trouble getting up like this. She had never ridden a high place like this before. This is her first difficult journey which she is enduring for her beloved Ryan. She loves Ryan very much. She didn't want that to happen either. And she did not know what love or illusion is. She understood them after coming to this world. If she had known earlier that if she loved someone she would have to endure so much pain then she would never have fallen into the trap called love.
Today, after being in such a situation, she suddenly remembers her mother. If her mother had seen such suffering, she would have suffered more than she was angry.
What else to do, she has to climb up anyway. Water must be carried to save Ryan's life. And besides, she has promised Ryan that she will protect his family from the cruel demon no matter what.
After pondering various thoughts, Xenia reached the end of the roots. There is a grooved part of the mountain. Where she can stand easily.
Xenia could see running water from where she reached. If she wants to touch that water, she has to move a little over that groove. Because it is not at all possible to touch the water from the side of the tree.
Xenia thought to herself, can I take water from here? Or will it become frozen like a water idol as a result of touching water for the first time. She will be frustrated and angry with me.
"Why am I thinking so much? Let's try from here as well. If I can go back with water from here, it would be much better. I don't have to climb up like this anymore. And besides, the water of this spring is so mysterious that surely there is much danger waiting for me at the top. I can't be in any danger now. Meanwhile Ryan is struggling for water."
Without delay, Xenia slowly moved a little further away, holding the rocks on the mountain. She is afraid to go this way. Actually Xenia is a very brave girl. She does not fear any harm to himself. She is afraid that if she falls from here or there is any danger to him then she will not be able to go back with water. And if she can't go back, she can't save Ryan either. Then Dragia will be alone. Danger will descend on him. So many lives depend on Xenia.
So she has to tread carefully. Her life is worth a lot. The lives of others are intimately connected with her life. Although she is immortal. She will not die. But once she fell into great danger, her own power would diminish. She did not know about this. Her mother told him after she grew up and gained infinite power.
Finally she went near the water.
