He scaled the mountains treacherous terrain fairly easy thanks to his form. but that didn't diminish the threat of falling. he had a large barrel on his back. he continually glanced up to see how much longer until he reached the peek. the days ahead in this journey would not be easy. Adjusting the strap of the barrel he continued upward. He grinned as he came up to a flat area. Sitting down on one of the rocks he glanced around. this would suffice for a rest and far as he could tell the animals weren't a threat to him. Grinning he prepared a simple scrying spell. Unfortunately it was the only one he knew. Smiling he watched kira resting in the glen peacefully a while. She looked so innocent and peaceful like a very small child, a newborn even. Then rising he renewed his efforts to reach the top. If things could go his way he'd swear off his life of violence. Once he came close to losing his footing and falling but was saved by a hanging root. Continuing his climb for endless what seemed like hours he finally came to a place he might rest again. Recreating his scrying spell he watched kira again in the glen. Smiling as he saw her rise and head home safely. Grunting he continued the climb until he couldn't climb anymore. Coming to a spot to make camp he hide the barrel away. He'd grab it in the morning and continue the climb. A quick patrol around the area assured no predators or creatures that would make off with his barrel. coming back he went and rested against a rock. Grinning to himself as he slowly fell asleep against the cold stone.

He growled as he jumped up a steep slope. A new barrel on his back thanks to the incident last night with Nero he'd lost the old one and distance. By mid-day he'd made up the distance he'd lost. Glaring to the top of the mountain. Curses to whoever placed the flowers at the top and created Nero. He was glad he'd grabbed that stone after his incident with Nero. He still wasn't sure what it did but it seemed to cancel out any scrying and locating spells they tried. Casting a scrying spell to see if Kira was still safe he greatly renewed his efforts to reach the top. If he could he'd make sure to have those flowers before the week's end.

Reaching a place to stop he took a deep breath and looked up. Not much farther until the peek. He'd been fortunate in that there had been no monsters to attack him or similar events that would slow him. Catching his breath he jumped up and continued the long climb. Reaching the peek exhausted several hours later he took the barrel and set it down. Gasping as he finally reached the top. Grinning as he looked around. There were indeed the flowers they spoke of. Rising he picked the flowers and put them into the barrel until the sun rose. He desperately needed sleep and the barrel wasn't even half filled. Sighing he laid down after making sure the barrel was safely tucked away in a place it wouldn't get destroyed or stolen. Closing his eyes he drifted to sleep slowly. He could hardly wait until the task was done and he could see the reaction on Kira's face. He tried picturing it but came up blank in every attempt due to his weariness. Still he had no doubt she would be pleased. Taking a deep breath he let sleep take hold of him while he clutched that stone tight. He wasn't about to let someone scry on him. Much less let Nero find him again.

He sighed and sat down. The barrel was almost full but undoubtedly the trip down would not be easy. He'd seen some creatures on the way up and managed to avoid them by chance. Doing so going down wouldn't be so easy. It'd easily take him the promised week if not longer to get past all these creatures and the treacherous terrain.

He finally came to rest at the bottom of the mountain. He'd managed to make it down with all the flowers if not more than he needed in the barrel on his back. Shaking his head he rose and started for the inn. He couldn't wait to see Kira's reaction to all the flowers. He'd make sure to take the side paths and such to avoid unnecessary attention on his way to the inn.
