His musings however were interrupted by the next meal break. Stopping to rest, Hyede took his next meal and settled down for another nap to help keep his strength up.

Setting out again, Hyede’s thoughts returned to replaying the events surrounding Zadeto and himself.

Recalling their first sparring match, Hyede smiled and remembered the first time Zadeto had shown him no mercy and jumped into his stomach.

The very thought of all the pounding his midsection had taken at the hands of that Saiyan sent a strange shiver of delight up Hyede spine. How wasn’t sure but the young man was beginning to suspect himself some type of masochist.

Putting the thought aside for the time being, Hyede sat down to his next scheduled meal.

Packing out his trash, Hyede continued back on the trail up the mountain.

By now the constant sweat that was pouring off his body was starting to make the climb a little irritating. The white shirt he’d wrapped around his waist to keep cool was now soaking up the droplets that made it down his torso and starting to itch.

Deciding he could do without the garment entirely, Hyede made a mental note to stuff it in his backpack on his next meal break, unfortunately for him that was another hour away.

Finally though the time came, Hyede watch beeped and he stopped by the side of the path to rest and take his next meal.

Stuffing his discarded shirt into his backpack, Hyede started out once more.

Soon though he was glad to see the third camp come into sight right around a bend in the path. Arriving at the official half way point up the mountain, Hyede settled in near one of the camp fires for the evening.

Waking with the sun and feeling quite a bit better, Hyede had breakfast, then dumped the trash he was carrying and said goodbye to the few villagers that actually lived there. Unfortunately now the path ended just outside the camp and from here it was a strait climb up the rock face. To make things worse almost immediately after leaving the camp, Hyede could feel the drain on his body worsen and now he knew why he would have to eat and rest with every hour.

Starting his slow trek up the second half of the mountain, Hyede made sure to set his watch to go off every hour. With each hour he made it a point to stop and consume one of his 60 or so remaining rations.

Continuing on, Hyede made his hourly stop to rest and take another meal. As he did so he could feel that the rations were just barely keeping his energy and strength up.

The next hour of climbing passed much like the last few, consisting of a strait hour of climbing followed by a short break and a meal.
