Freya managed to clamp her mouth with her hand. She has never been this high above the sky before. Freya wondered if, there are these so called gods in mythologies, this is their view of humanity from their thrones in the heavens. Now she knows why gods in modern depictions look upon humans as nothing more than mere toys. From Freya's point of view, the castle and the city looked like a miniature toy set for a little girl.

No longer surprised, Freya began to notice that somewhere along the bottom of the cliff was a cave an the only pathway to get to said cave is by using these vines, roots, and a few crevices she can hold on to along the cliffside. Perhaps this is their next objective? Though as Freya approached one vine and a root to test it, it seemed like both couldn't efficiently support even a lightweight girl like her for that long. Not to mention she can feel the heavy buffet of winds from this high up. If she and her classmates need to reach that cave, they have to brave the strong winds and find a way to safely get there as well. [color=f49ac2]"This is so unfair for us light elementals"[/color], she grumbled.

[i]Not to mention this is slowly becoming less of an Academy and more of a Survival[/i], Freya thought to herself.

While thinking of a way to reach the cave down below, she saw a bird flying by. When the bird flew off, a loose feather came off. Freya only managed to see the feather floating and resting on one of the roots before the winds blew it away. Upon seeing this, she remembered one of the fundamental principles her ballet teacher had taught her during her ballerina days.

Freya closed her eyes. [i]Light as a feather, light as a feather, light as a feather[/i], she thought to herself before breathing in and out and opening her eyes. She did a few ballet poses before leaping and landing on a nearby vine. She quickly jumped from one vine to another, while looking onward for crevices she can hold unto in case, as she knows the roots might not support even someone of her stature for so long. As she continued to leap, she began to feel the push of the winds being strong again. 

She paused a bit and quickly tested a crevice she can hold on to before she could place her other hand and feet on the nearby crevices. Freya paused a bit to wait for the winds to weaken before jumping to the next root. When the winds became strong again, she held on to the crevices until the winds are gone and she can leap again. Freya repeated this cycle until it started raining along with heavy gusts of wind. 

She held on to a crevice but she slipped because the crevice was too slippery from the rain. Thankfully she managed to grab a hold of a thick vine. Freya noticed that the cave was just near her and she thought she can reach the cave if she just swung herself, so she did. She held on firmly to the crevices despite them being slippery. She moved backwards a bit while holding on to the crevices to gain momentum. Then, she strongly grasped the thick vine as she ran sidewards towards the cave and swung herself. She reached out with her other arm and let go of the vine until she's hanging on by the edge of the cave. She heaved herself upwards until she can crawl safely into the cave and laid down facing upwards.

Freya only managed a few heavy breaths as she looked back at the path she crossed just to get here. [i]Yep[/i], she thought to herself. [i]Those weekly trips at the obstacle course park sure was worth it[/i].
