Chapter 41

"I want to throw myself away." Li groaned when they were all cleaned up from their morning training, it was late afternoon and they were all sprawled in the living room, too exhausted to do anything else and not tired enough to sleep.

"My bones hurt." Poppy sighed, curled up on a couch. "I had no idea bones could even hurt."

Their second run had been nothing but a torture run, Lichen not cutting them a little slack even though they were falling ever so often, she would just wait for the Fairy that had fallen to get back on his feet, continuing the race no matter how many times the Heroes fell.

"We have training in a couple hours." Eden reminded them, flat on her back on the rig by the fireplace, Aster was lying on a cushion beside her, Orchid taking another cushion.

They rarely ever stayed all together in one room except during meals but the training if the morning had been gruesome and it was only the start.
