Eliana POV
My lungs burned as I forced my feet to keep going. I had been at this for quite a long time now but I wasn't going to give up till it was done.
I had to keep going or everything I wanted to work towards would be destroyed completely and that couldn't happen.
I had come too far for a simple training to stop me.
I was burned out completely but the thought of being weak had me pushing past whatever limits I had.
Just another lap, the day had darkened beyond measure and I was certain it was close to midnight now but I couldn't afford to give up just yet.
As I forced myself past the last line to make it two hundred laps, my legs gave out and I went crashing down to the ground with a yelp but what shocked me wasn't that.
It was the claps and hoots that followed as candles lit
