I stared up at the massive tree, my neck craning back to see where the lowest branches began… several feet above Kael's head.
There would literally be nothing for me to grip or hold on to for me to even make my way up there!
"You want me to climb this?" I looked between him and the tree.
"Yes."
This was his idea of 'simple'?!
"I think I might have climbed trees, but never anything this big… I don't think I can…"
My words faltered as I stared at the monstrosity once more. It hadn't even been that long since I climbed trees back in Shadowpine. I could barely hunt, and I had to mostly reach hanging fruits when foraging in the pack woods.
But none were this huge. Even the supposedly big ones, I mostly used sticks to bring down what I wanted to eat.
He sighed, and his face softened. "You need to learn how to navigate different terrains, and you also need to build the muscle strength to be able to do so. Come."
