Sunshine knows she should have gone home ages ago. Should have prepared and left to face the Goddess of Pain while she still felt as though she were on solid ground. But she had been comfortable, at the time, and couldn't have known how things would change.
Now she's caught between the urge to get away from this place, and the urge to wait until she feels more sure of herself before she returns home. It seems the only times she can find some distance is when she goes on her run around the lake at dawn, or when she trains in the forest.
Today, Sunshine is doing the latter, out past the baseball diamond, in the clearing where the Merlin's Circle is burned into the grass. Two vaguely humanoid shapes of animate earth and water fight against her. She fights back, dodging out of the way of their swift attacks, and striking when she has an opening. Exertion and sweat has loosed some of her hair from its ponytail, the humidity making it frizz into a fuzzy corona about her head, but she doesn't stop. Not yet.
