Chapter 10: Crest
Leonardo continued walking. He had made it this far and was very close to his goal. The wind whipped his coat around him, and the snow stung his face. Those guardians had told him what to do to reach his goal, and he was so close. He strained against the wind, his breath coming in heavy pants. When was this going to end for him? When was he going to reach his goal?
And, then, the wind lessened, and the snow disappeared. As he neared the crest of the hill, he saw a very different land than the one he'd just been in. It was sunny here with no trace of snow. The air was warmer, and the grass was very green. Yes, this had to be The Hidden Land where the Ancient One lived. Now, he would hopefully get the answers he needed.
Leo sighed in satisfaction and headed into the Hidden Land. The Ancient One was close, and once he found him, he would finally finish his quest. That was all he could hope for at this moment. He silently thought of home and what Splinter would think now. Maybe Splinter would be proud that he'd reached his goal. He just had to keep going until he found what he was looking for.
A/N: That hit the 218 mark. Not very long, but I couldn't think of another way to end it, so I just stopped there. I hope it fits with what I had in mind. Thanks to those who have stuck with these drabbles. Your kind words mean so much to me. Feel free to leave a review, and have a shelltastic day.
