It is said that certain sects of martial artists will sit under a waterfall, as an exercise in hardening the body. It is said that wisdom and enlightenment can be found at the base of every waterfall.
To be clear, I am not such a martial artist. I found that even Amphibian Lungs won't keep you from coughing at the sheer force of water as it literally slams its way down your throat. It was an entire day's labor, literally climbing upstream. Some times Gondon would angle to the left, sometimes to the right, and there were even times when he seemed to take us directly upward into the falling water.
Incidentally, a plate curiass isn't kind to gills along the rib cage.
I originally had this chapter and the next listed as one. I know, dumb decision.
On the plus side, I will be able, once the move is complete and I'm settled down in my new home, to resume chapters daily. It has been awful for me, and I thank all of you for bearing with me during these delays.
