Training Human Form
Oro had jogged back up the rocky side of Nori Volcano for the hundreth time. He huffed as another ash landed on him arm, causing the skin to burn. Learn to live with pain, he repeated over and over again as the tiny ash burned into his arm. Train to live with pain.
The assassin backed up from the dead tree he was leaning against. and got into fighting position. "Never," he shouted as he punched the rock wall next to him. "Give." A roundhouse kick and trip to a boulder, causing a piece to break off. "Up!!" He did a backflip and kicked a falling, smoldering boulder that was falling. It went spiraling over the cliff edge.
Oro spit on the ground and jogged further up the volcano the the mouth. The heat began to bother him slightly, but he kept running. After another 30 yards, a sweat broke out over his brow, but he wiped it away carelessly. A trickle of blood was oozing down him arm after he pulled a flaming chunk of rock out.
"Don't. Stop. Going."
