He had just thought he needed to get stronger by continuing to practice again and again. Warpath's advise was spot on. Nevan usually got too caught up in his shortcomings to think outside the box. He needed to just have more faith in himself. Warpath was actually pretty nice, even though he looked real tough and stoic on the surface. Nevan smiled and nodded in response,<strong>"You're right. I'll try that."</strong>He said and stretched his arms, shaking off the pain from the fall before approaching the obstacle course once more.<br/><br/>Starting the simulation once more, Nevan got through the initial part with ease because he had already done this so many times. When he got to the hill that had the chasm he tried to remember Warpath's advice. He took a deep breath and channeled his energy again. This time, instead of making a full solid bridge from one end to the other, he concentrated to create several smaller square-shaped platforms in a straight line. They floated in place and Nevan wondered if they would hold his weight, but then he remembered Warpath's words and put more effort in believing he could do it. Arming himself with confidence, he began to cross the chasm on these makeshift stepping stones. Slowly at first, he began to move faster once he could tell that they would support his weight.<br/><br/>Hopping across the last few platforms, Nevan felt elated when he took one final step onto the other side of the chasm. His face lit up with incredulous excitement and a big smile formed on his lips.<strong>"I did it! I did it!"</strong>His usually reserved emotions flowed out at the realization that he finally managed to get through this part of the simulation. He smiled down at Warpath,<strong>"I didn't...I can't believe it."</strong>He still had to finish the rest of it, but just making it this far was really a triumph for him.<br/><br/>Nevan then went on to complete the program with just a few bumps in the road. He just had to get out of his head for a moment and keep moving. He walked up to Warpath, a smile still on his face,<strong>"Thank you. Really."</strong>He felt very relieved that he managed to pull it off. Warpath helped him look forward and it made the difference this time.
