Arival

There she stood, sprinkled upon by rays of sunlight through the clouds. Each silver lining on each cloud around the mountain valley seemed to slow time to a still. She could breathe in the mist from thousands of feet below, but she didn't feel cold; she felt sunlight. In the distance she could hear thunder rolling, but for now the storm would be far away.

Half collapsing, she landed with her legs crossed as she surveyed her surroundings. It had been a long climb. Eventually yes, she would have to cross down the other side of the hill. For now, she could reflect, or think nothing at all. Her hand idly caressed the grass beneath it as she felt her breathing return to normal. The ache faded from her chest, but she felt a burning warmth in her limbs.

For now, she was content.
