Thoughts= Blah, Blah, Blah.

Your POV:

I massaged my eyes as a bright light hit them. I skimmed over to see the cabin door had a slit of sunlight illuminating my face.

"Damn, It's too early for sunlight."

This morning, I found myself needing to take my time before getting out of bed. I took a few moments to stretch my limbs and prepare my body for the day ahead. After finally mustering up the energy to rise, I didn't bother making the bed and instead focused on starting my day. After putting together and eating a fruit salad, I continued to track my journey to Reverse Mountain.

You ensure you have the rudder in place because you want to relish the sea and birds in your surrounding area. The waves were calmer than ever, with light splashing from a nearby school of fish. The birds hovering over your head seem to bask in the sun on their backs while the wind passes through their broad wings. The gentle breeze rustles through their soft feathers. And so does your hair as it dances with the air, creating a calming atmosphere.

But you knew that your moment of peace wouldn't last for long. You're nearing your destination, so preparing yourself is crucial.

You heard about Reverse Mountain, and it's an odd phenomenon. It's a remarkably tall mountain. Where the four blues met, and there are only two entrances to the Grand Line.

Not to mention. The water rages upward. That's wild.

But excitement and curiosity slowly consumed me.

"Ah? Rain?" I looked upwards; my eyes beheld the sight of ominous grey clouds gathering in the sky. The sea rocked the boat, causing items to fall and spin. I started to lose my balance from the heavy blows from the waves. I grasped onto the helm, trying to steady the boat and embrace another impact from the extreme seas around me.

I stared straight forward, to my surprise. I was already at the mountain.

"I'm here! YES!" You jumped in place, still holding onto the helm. The rain intensified and continued to pour down heavily.

Coming closer to the mountain, your boat lifted toward the raging waters. The water was dragging you upward. The boat was now in a vertical position. Saltwater splashed your face, and you relished the rush of adrenaline. You felt alive.

The rain halted to a complete stop. And the heavens opened up. Pushing the eerie dark clouds out as brilliant sunlight flashed on the top of Reverse Mountain.

Your boat jumped at the sudden change of course. At that moment, you felt a sense of lightness in your feet.

"YAHOOOOOOO!" (^▽^)

You screamed at the top of your lungs.

You were officially at the top of the famous mountain until you saw the opposite end. The boat tilted down rapidly. You screamed all the way down. The amount of saltwater spewing your face blinded you. You couldn't see, and your grip was slipping from the helm. Hoping to stay on the boat for long enough. You bit down on the wooden steer. Your teeth sink into the wood. They were forcing little splinters on your tongue and the roof of your mouth.

Before you knew it, the feeling of gravity hit you as your knees buckled from the hard landing. As you slowly opened your eyes, you felt the chill of the cold water on your face. You raised your hand to wipe the droplets away, feeling how they clung to your skin. The seas weren't raging anymore. And the boat seemed to have minor damage. But you were alive and still stable.
