When the twentieth hour rolled around, Hyede decided it was best to call it a night. Luckily there was enough brush lying around to make some suitable bedding. From there he ate the fourth meal of the trip and spent the night.

Rising with the sun the next morning, Hyede started off on the 21st actual hour of the trek, not counting the seven or so hours of sleep he had just gotten up from.

Making sure his watch was still properly set, Hyede reset the timer so it would still be on schedule after the night’s rest.

Once his watch was set, Hyede turned his attention back to the flow of energy he was sensing.

With the flow of his ki now so distinct, Hyede was finding it easier to sense and at the same time was becoming aware of many other energy sources around him.

Hour twenty five rolled about and Hyede stopped for breakfast as planned.

Keeping to his schedule, the young man ate and rested for the time he’d allotted himself and then continued along on his trek. By now he estimated he was no more then four hours from the next camp.

While continuing to walk, Hyede maintained his concentration on the Ki energy sources around him. After a while he was soon able to sense the camp ahead, long before he could actually see it.

Having honed that ability much faster then he’d ever thought possible, Hyede continued to use it, though this time in search of Zadeto’s energy signal.

Unfortunately since he’d never actually sampled the man’s energy before now he had no idea what to look for and soon gave up the search when the camp came into sight.

Walking into the second camp along the rout up the mountain, Hyede found a spot to sit down and rest. He ate lunch as per his schedule before getting ready to carry on.

Dumping his accumulated trash in a waste bin before exiting the camp, Hyede smiled at the slightly lighter load. He still however had quite a climb ahead of him.

Having left the second camp right on schedule, Hyede was starting to enjoy the trip in spite of the continued drain on his body. While the night and the repeated rests were keeping him fresh enough to go on, the journey was still strenuous and so his shirtless torso was continuously dripping with sweat.

Trekking on though, he passed around a bend on the path and before he knew it the camp behind him had vanished just like the last.

Right on schedule his watch alerted him to the next rest period and so the young man took another break and a meal.
