Chapter 48: The Pearl Mountains(Part 2)
"I...I can't go on any longer! Everything...everything hurts!" Gasped Celia, flopping onto the ground with a thud as she struggled to catch her breath, a slightly dazed look in her eyes, her body battered and bruised all over.
"How...how fucking long have we been up here? Have we...have we always been up here? Will we be up here for the rest of our lives? Will we die here? Does a world outside of this place even exist? Or was that all in my head? Why are we here? Just to suffer?" Uttered Lexia with a loopy look on her face, more than a little delirious from the exhaustion.
"It's been six months, I think...and there's no telling when we'll be done, at this point I'm just taking each day as it comes, thinking about how much longer we're going to have to stay up here makes me all depressed," Sighed Raven wearily.
"I don't know, I like it up here...it's hard to breathe and we get tired faster, I'm almost constantly sore and aching, not to mention how cold it is...ahh, it hurts so good," Remarked Colt with a content smile, staring up at the sky as he lay sprawled across the dirt.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but...I actually kinda envy you right now. Having a masochistic side would certainly make this brutal training a lot easier, and you've definitely been complaining the least out of all of us," Mused Raven wryly.
"You have it pretty easy too...your body has way more stamina than ours do, after all, so it takes a lot more exertion to wear you out. Also, you're resistant to the cold. Hm...hey, doesn't that cloud look like a dick?" Mused Lexia, as she pointed up at the sky.
"Come on, you need to snap out of it-...hm? Oh, it actually does," Responded Celia as she glanced up and spotted the cloud Lexia was referring to.
"Wait, how do you know what a dick looks like? When would you have seen one?" Frowned Colt, before narrowing his eyes at Raven, who immediately shook his head.
"I came across a porn magazine during one of our missions, before Raven joined us...there were photos of naked guys, not just girls. Naturally, I was curious, so I flipped through the pages," Admitted Celia sheepishly.
