She had practiced it ever since her parents were killed. Both physical and mental pain was worked at being blocked since then. Mental pain could drive someone insane, physical pain could incapacitate a person. She blocked out the burning in her legs, arms and lungs. It was a big part of how she could keep going at the pace she was going for so long. Already she was half way to the mountain.<br/><br/>She felt like she was being watched and kept her eyes open and her mind alert for any predators both human and non. The thought of Ogun watching her came to mind. Of course he would be watching her. He had to make sure she did what he had commanded her to do. And she was determined not to disappoint. She had begged for this for so long, she was not going to quit just because its hard. That was what a warrior was.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>As Zeya ran, Ogun appeared in front of her, causing her to slam into him but not before he caught her as she bounced backwards from the impact. "Take a rest for now. You are pushing far too hard and that is not good." Ogun had Zeya sit under a large tree so that she was blocked from the sun that had now risen. There was nothing worse than being worn out and sitting under a blazing sun. Ogun was at least nice enough to say "That is enough for today. You will begin again in the morning.". It was still morning, which meant Zeya had all day to rest her aching body. As Zeya sat under the tree where Ogun made her to, the Orisha drew a scarlet coloured Gris-Gris bag, also called a Mojo bag, and placed it in Zeya's hand. "Carry this close to your skin for confidence, strength and courage." he explained to Zeya.
