Learning to do things with Reishi [Pvt]

Lori dumped her backpack unceremoniously upon the ground. Welp, here she was! The Kimutanaki hills sprawled out beneath her. A winding grey ribbon in the distance all that was visible of the road she had arrived on, the glistening silver shell of the bus long having pootled out of view as it continued crossing over towards Nagoya, still several hundred km distant. Ostensibly the bus was headed towards the western cities but in reality the only people who rode the number 727 up this far were people headed towards looney bins and clean air sanctuaries from back when TB was such a big issue. The towering, white capped behemoths before Loretka loomed overhead, a consistent reminder of her insufficient magnitude. She was not here to indulge in a spot of climbing during her weekend, however. No, there were much more important things to be done. Up here, amongst the hills in the alpine meadows where none trod, was the perfect opportunity to train her spiritual abilities. Lori had lived for over a century now, completely ignoring the part of herself they created, the part that was designed to destroy and attack. Sadly however, times meant that she couldn't afford to do that any longer.
