"Huh?" Easily distracted from his homework, Vir looked up from the table and glanced out of the window, his attention captured by a faint sparkle of light in the nearby mountains. He had lived amongst surrounding peaks ever since he was born, and had never seen anything like it. In all truth, the little flash of light wasn't actually strange enough to warrant so much consideration, but inexplicably, Vir felt empassioned to act; some force told him in his mind that he would regret it if he didn't check out the situation. Vir jumped up, put on his boots and ran out of his house to find the source of that mysterious shimmer of emerald green. From a young age Vir had been the adventurous sort of lad, so he clambered up the steepening face of the mountain quickly and with ease. He ascended through field and forest to reach a great wall of rock, the last stretch of height between him and the peak. He had never attempted to climb this feature in the past, but that same force in his mind compelled him again, gave him a sense of urgency to reach that green flash he had seen from so far away. He stretched his back and tensing his muscles, began the grueling climb up. Meter after meter he hoisted himself up, his forearms slickening with sweat and veins wriggling like little snakes. A bead of perspiration rolled under his hand just as he reached the cliff, making lose all grip. In a panic he flailed, struggling to keep ahold of the rock face with a single hand. Unbeknownst to him, at this moment, a wisp of green light shot from the mountain top into his forehead. All of a sudden, his mind became absolutely tranquil and summoning forth strength he never knew he had, he used that single arm to pull over the edge to safety.
