I was exhausted, I tried time and time again trying to climb back up that cliff.
I pushed with all the strength I had left. Mother last words stuck with me. And made me feel guilty
I love you she said, and I didn't say anything back to her.
I cried as I kept pulling myself upwards.
I was on the cliff hanger. Where I fell last time.
I rested while wiping the sweat off of my head.
The cliff was so high I couldn't see the top because of the fog.
After resting for about five minutes I was about ready to climb back up.
I grabbed the rock then started my pattern again.
The voice in my head kept repeating itself. Kill Heihachi, kill Heihachi.
I started to climb faster as I got eager to get to the top.
I've already been down here for a couple of days. I wasn't gonna stay any longer.
After 30 minutes of non stop climbing bare footed. I was half way to the top.
My feet were bleeding I was sweating, hungry, and tired.
But I didn't stop I didn't stop climbing.
I was only ten years old how could I possibly get to the top.
There were no cliff hangers that I could rest on. It was hard to keep a grip on the cliff.
I repeated my pattern non stop.
I finally could see it I finally could see the top.It wasn't close but it wasn't a kilometer away thankfully.
It would be awful if I was to fall right now. So I started moving slowly but I still heard the crackles in the cliff.
I was so close it was about 10 feet away. I knew that I couldn't make one mistake.
I slowly raised my hand to grip the edge of the cliff. I was so happy I pulled myself up and rolled on my back exhausted.
I was tired my arms were soar.
I was in the position to fight. I wasn't gonna go and fight him right now.That would just be asking to be thrown off again.
I limped away into the woods to get out of view.
Later that day I met a man middle aged man named Wang.
I agreed to give me a week of food. In happiness I grabbed the basket of food and ran back into the woods. "Wait"
The man said but I was to exited to go back.
I slept peacefully that night. And ate as little as possible to save some for later.
I knew the next morning i would train non stop and defeat him once i grew stronger.
