After much hope and waiting, when Xenia touched the water, her face was as impassive as before. Her face became sullen. The heart inside her chest began to beat loudly. Xenia guessed it and put her hand on the left side of her chest to check. She was startled as she placed her hand.
She felt something moving inside her chest. She checked carefully with her hand to see if there was any leak anywhere on her body. But her guess proved to be wrong.
"Why is the inside of the left side of my chest jumping like this today? Nobody even attacked me. So why is it like this? Then what...?"
Xenia shuddered with an unseen fear. The left side of her chest began to tighten. Without further delay she touched the water flowing in front of him with her hand. This time she didn't touch the water like before.
She touched the water very carefully. She folded her palms and held them towards the running water. But this time the water moved slightly away from her hand even though it did not touch her hand. The direction of the water's motion changed. She thought it must have been the wind. So without thinking about it, she extended her hand again.
She could not succeed even after doing the work very carefully. At the slightest touch of her hand, the flow of water stopped as before.
Xenia was once again worried. Her face became dull. Confused, she glanced up at the guard. She saw that the mountain peak was not far from him.
She made up her mind that this time she would not stop at any other place. This time if she had to stop for water she would stop at the top of the hill.
She noticed well that she would not have to endure much trouble to climb up from here. As far as her eyes could see, she could clearly see several crevasses leading up the mountain from here. With the help of which she can easily climb up. She will reach her destination.
But one thing can get him into a lot of trouble. A few grooves on the mountain are soaked in water. As a result those places are very slippery. Xenia does not understand this at all. So she immediately took steps to climb up with the help of those grooves.
She very carefully and easily climbs up quite a few levels. Then the next level is slightly different from the level she gets. She cannot even touch that layer with her hands.
"No problem. I will jump from here and grab the next ledge and place my foot on the small tree I see between this ledge and the next one. Only then will I be able to reach the top easily."
There is a small tree on the hill between the front layer and the standing layer of Xenia. However, no roots of the tree are visible outside. As a result, Xenia needed to take such a leap. If not, she could have climbed up from here by the roots of that tree as before.
However, thinking that there was no need to think so much, Xenia prepared to jump from here.
She needs strength in her body to jump and catch the next level. Although she has enough strength in her body. But it is dormant. Now she needs moving power. And she can get that power when she runs some distance and jumps from here.
But it is very difficult to run through a groove in the mountain that is very narrow. So, as an alternative, she took two steps back and then leaned forward and jumped at a fast pace.
Although she succeeded in catching the groove, she could not stay there. Her hands slipped away.
Coming a little lower, she quickly grabbed hold of the invisible rootless tree. Somehow she saved himself from falling so far down the hill.
The thing inside her chest began to vibrate violently again.
Xenia did not pay attention to that and looked for a way to climb up from there. Because this little tree is unable to stand with the weight of its body. Which Xenia understood very well.
Because the surface of the tree is going up, but it is going down under the weight of Xenia.
Xenia noticed a huge rock on the hill not far from her. Even if it does not seem convenient, Xenia decided that if she could somehow get hold of the rock, she would find a way to climb up.
Xenia decided to do what she thought. She stretched out her hand with great difficulty and grasped the stone. Then she put her feet on the tree with great difficulty and took hold of the notch. She then realised why she had fallen.
This place is wet and slippery. Because of which she could not hold her hand here.
The place is wet though. But there are places where there are several rocks that are unlikely to fall down if stepped on.
Xenia stepped over the tree to find a rough spot in the groove. Then holding that place and placing the weight of her whole body on her hands, she came up with great difficulty as before.
"Huh! I have finally arrived here. I have come this far after enduring a lot of hardships. If I can succeed in the work I came for, this hardship is nothing."
Then she let out a sigh.
Her face is still dirty. There is no peace in her mind. The only thought inside her mind is for Ryan. Which made her face even uglier.
