Chidori was not looking forward to this so called training. Mirja had only assigned her the first task which seemed to be of many, and Chidori already wanted to go. You see, mental challenges have never been her strong suit. Actually, that's an understatement. Mental challenges are her worst area, as she isn't the brightest person from what we've seen from earlier. On top of that, what Mirja was asking of her wasn't that easy to find. Sure, her life has been eventful, but most of those events weren't good ones. Actually, most of her problems started back when...

Her mother died.

"Alright, I got it." She followed the Okami on the floor, sitting a few feet away from her. The wolf girl had asked her to think back to a place that gives her strength, someplace that motivated her, though Chidori didn't have a place like that. Instead, she had a person. Someone close to her, someone that she had looked up to as a kid before they were abruptly taken away from her.

Just thinking about it caused tears to flow down her face. She tried her best to wipe them away, but it seemed like they weren't going anywhere. She started shaking but soon stopped. Instead, she sat there, completely still.

"I know I'm not exactly smiling, but don't mind that. What's next, coach?" Her voice was shaky and slightly higher than normal. Chidori was gonna pull through, but the question is: for how long?

Mirja, The Wolf of Eden

Mirja

Taking a seat and letting Chidori finish her drink before doing anything, she waited until the girl came to sit down, so she could admire her. Chidori was a beautiful girl, even though she smelled sweaty. In fact, Mirja found the smell of her rather appealing, it fit her for some reason. Like she was a girl of action, of substance. It was nice to see, she might even invite Chidori around to learn some of Mirja's hakuda techniques later. Maybe, depending on how this session went down. First impressions were not something you could judge a whole person on after all.

It was with some surprise that, when she told Chidori to think of something that always brings her peace, she started to cry. That, was the opposite of peace. She couldn't get further from peace if she tried, and yet she seemed to brush it off as something that was good, that was working right and that she should carry on with her lesson. Mirja stared in askance for a few seconds, eyebrows cocked and clearly sceptical, before shrugging and carrying on. If it didn't work, she didn't have anything cool to play with.

"Ok....well....Next you have to know that peace. Really, feel it in your bones. Become that peace. And then think about everything that drives you forward. Your goals, your friends, your rivals. What gets you out of the bed in the morning, what pushes you past exhaustion and ache to become better than you are. And then when you have a solid grasp of that, you have to let it go. Drop it into the abyss and deny it's tethers to this plane. Become unburdened, and then discard the thoughts of peace as well. Whatever sparks such powerful emotion in you, discard that. And you will finally be ready"
