Well into the 24th West Rukon district there is a pleasant valley connected to a small yet relatively thick wooded area. Within this small woods a decent stream flowed between with few large boulders dotted here and there. Listening to the sound of the water helped Shawn focus as he was training his body. Sweat beading and trickling down his face and chest showed the effort he was putting into his work out.
“Only 100 more to go” came out of his clenched teeth as he finished his 20th push up, “I will get stronger, I will”. Weak as shawn may be, he has come a long way since arriving in the soul society.
It’s been a few weeks since he became a squad 11 member but he is already showing a little bit of muscle from all the training he has been doing. Joining Squad 11 has brought many new faces into Shawn’s life, like his new captain, a harsh yet child friendly? Kind of person. The captain certainly has quite a few things Shawn despises in a person but he has a lot that he respects.
Getting tired he reminds himself of the 60 sit ups, 50 squats, and the distance he ran to get to this place, this strengthened him and gave him a little more energy when he needed it. Before the training he did after arriving here he even jumped from boulder to boulder to increase his balance and reaction. Knowing however how much he needs to train before he even feels capable of protecting those around him.
I must push through this weak body if i wish to attain the strength to protect This is the single thought that keeps going through his head as he moves his aching and tired body. Collapsing at about 100, he uses what strength he has left to pull himself to the stream. Taking one deep breath he plunges his head as far into the stream as he can manage without falling in before raising it back out of the water. Feeling cooler and more refreshed he precedes to struggle to his feet and walks towards a tree, “If i can’t train my body right now, then i’ll train my sense’s”. Plopping down in front of the tree he crosses his legs and puts his hands on his lap After all, god gave us our senses for a reason.
First closing his eyes he focuses on the sound of the stream, then he follows it as far as he can before listening to the birds in the tree’s. Preceding from the birds he listens for the insects only to pick up a chirp here and there, while focusing on those chirps he faces his head towards them and opens his eyes to see if he can spot them. Finding one then two and then three of the little insects he can’t seem to spot anymore. The light starts to get dimmer as the day keeps moving on, seeing that Shawn decides to pack it in for the day and starts heading back to the squad 11 barracks. “I will be stronger one day, that day will be soon” is the words he state’s to the woods more for him then to it as he finally leaves the last of the tree’s behind as he enters the small valley.
Stopping for a moment he takes in the view of the multiple flowers sporting around him, This is what god made for his people in the Soul Society, so i intend to protect both it and them. With those final thoughts he continues on to his barrack’s hoping he doesn’t run into his captain tonight given how tired he was. Arriving at the barracks at last light, he slips through the halls to the room where he and the few members who are still in the Seireitei sleep. Luckily he manages to avoid the captain and finally arrives to his destination, stepping into the room he heads to his bed.
Finally being able to lay down, thoughts of his siblings flood his mind causing him to grip the silver cross on his necklace. Becoming a soul reaper has taken up a lot of his time but with things calming down he might finally be able to start searching more for them. I will find you one day, until then i pray you two are safe, with this last thought exhaustion finally takes over and he falls into a dream where he is playing with his younger brother and sister. Peaceful dreams finally allow his grip on his cross to lessen until finally it drops to his side, tonight at least, Shawn will have a pleasant sleep.
