It feels like we have been walking for weeks. The muscles in my legs hurt badly and there is nothing I can do to ease the pain. I have blisters on my feet that make it difficult to walk, especially on the uneven terrain. In Teeluw, we use our arms to move around the town as much as our legs. Climbing up ropes and swinging across bars between the platforms. My body isn't used to all the walking.
I think Lanua is getting a bit annoyed with me, for my pace has slowed considerably over the last few days, but I can tell the journey is taking its toll on her too. She just refuses to show it, and the thought of saving her village motivates her to carry on at a speed.
The landscape hasn't changed since we passed Lanua's farthest camp a few days ago. Rocks everywhere. Burrows dotted here and there. A few lonely, dead trees always off in the distance. Hills going up and down, up and down. We can see far off to the horizon, but there is nothing there that we can't see an arm's reach away.
