Cressida finally had enough, she was annoyed with this metaphysical wall in her way blocking her from reaching new heights. She trained for years, since she was a child, she did everything she could to meet her father where he wants her to be, and knew the price of failure as she recalled the scarring on her wrists. Looking back on her life, she recalled it was just work, fighting, and not much time for kinship of even the family kind.
Down on one knee, her breathing was heavy, her left arm was rested on her bent knee while her right hand held her sword in the ground, cuts over her body as blood and sweat dripped. One would think she fought a herd of hollows on first glance, but on closer inspection there is a fair amount of splinters in her and trees around her have appear blasted from their stumps, a large clearing of destruction in the midst of a forest. Slowly standing back up she steadied her stance as she prepared yet again. Holding her Hielig Klinge out she focused deeply trying to attract the reishi in the air, circling around her blade as she gripped it with both hands, a torrent of reishi spiraled around the blade, steadying her stance she put pressure on her legs as she tried to slash her blade from her right side to her left, unleashing the torrent, however it fell apart into several waves of reishi going all directions, some digging in to Cressida's hip, shoulder, chest, and neck as blood shot out, her hielig kinge scattered into the mist while Cress fell to both knees.
Her sense of sight was cracking slowly towards darkness, but in pain her sense of hearing sharpened as she heard a tree slowly cracking, and then the familiar silence that accompanied before a tree fell as she wished she was religious, then she'd at least have a god to make peace to before the inevitable as she knew she was too far gone to move. Falling onto the ground, Cressida awaited the inevitable, hearing the thud of of a tree but still conscious, she was confused as what happened was that the tree landed on a branch, arcing at the point where Cressida is barely missed by a couple inches.
Trying to reach forward as she griped a root with her right hand, trying to pull herself forward but some of her muscles didn't want to move.
"Damn it! It can't end like this, it won't end like this! Not till I get it back, not until I defeat her, not until I find the truth, it can't end here..."
