A new friend

For the first day and night Buttercup stayed close to the inn with everyone else but towards the end of the second day she had decided. She didn't even care if Tony thought she was weak and stupid and she didn't care what anyone else thought about keeping her close and safe. She can keep herself safe. She's been doing missions for ages and walking up a mountain is easy compared to sneaking into a big house or poisoning a party.

So she waited until everyone was preoccupied and left. She had nabbed as many biscuits as she could as well as some other food from the inns kitchens. Off she went, she would show them all. She would get up the mountain first and deal with any stupid monsters there might be! Who cared if Tony was a light dazzled super hero or Peter has spider powers or Lightning was a priestess.

They weren't from her world and they didn't know her at all. So off she went, off to conquer Ciyesia.

She could read maps... Sort of. In cities. And big maps of the world but following a map on a mountain turned out to be a bit trickier than she had expected... It wasn't long until she was less than sure where she was and she sighed, looking around as if the endless trees would give her any clues.

She heard a noise and wrinkled her nose, looking on the map again she saw there was a blue dot nearby and sure enough... There was a weird big winged bat thing.

"Hello." She tilted her head, "I do be taking you up the mountain." She could do blues mission as well as reds. If mister stupid head Tony thought he could do everything then so could she. She could get this stupid bat up to the top.

A few obstacles

She finally got out of the forest, but there were many problems. Little One had never climbed a mountain before, she had never been so high and it's harder than she had thought. She has also never slept outside a night in her life and it is cold and the bat thing is so annoying she is tempted to stab it, a few times.

But on she climbs. She has given up on the map now she is out of the forest, surely as long as she goes up it will be fine. It makes the way a lot rougher and harder than it would be but she steadily climbs.

She soon comes to a wide river and stands glaring at it. "I do no be thinking bat things can be swimming." She sighed, she couldn't swim either, which meant she had to think of another way across...

The final approach (Closed to Tony)

It took a lot of days, it was the fifth day when she finally could see the top. Mountains were the worst. Way worse than trains. She was so angry, tired, hungry and sore. She no longer had a dralite. But she was determined to get to the top. She is a good climber at least and she's making good progress.

That was until wings came from the left and all of a sudden there was pain and she was scooped off the mountain. A yelp was cut off as she plunged into the emptiness, fear disappearing a second after it had come. Mind ready, aware, no emotions to distract her.

She has been grabbed by a bird, it's claws are digging in and she's bleeding but not too badly. Her bigger problem is she needs to escape but if she stabs the birds feet, the obvious way out, then she falls. She needs to think and think fast.
