It was a sunny afternoon in the late spring when Orion found his way along a running route through Sacramento proper that would lead him past the major landmarks of the city. The Capitol was off in the distance as he went, runners beating a quick pace on the warm pavement as the gargoyle took in the streets that he would need to know.
His breathing was heavy, and sweat beaded on his brow as he went; his grey athletics shirt wicking away the moisture. In his hand was a Nalgene bottle full of water. The ice cubes had melted away. A black fanny pack completed the outfit, containing his burner and a little something extra if anything nasty decided that hitting him on the busy city streets was the way to go.
The Ogre was a big man. Topping six foot six and topping the scales at nearly two hundred and fifty pounds, he was rock-solid and athletic even in his slowly advancing years. Grey was salting the pepper of his Mask, yet here he was, hitting the pavement, as was his routine.
Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays were cardio and upper body.
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays? Leg day.
No deviations, except in emergencies. No excuses. It was in discipline and routine that the Iron Spear grew sharper as soldiers ground away imperfection and weakness through steady practice and exertion. Puffing and breathing deeply as he went, the gargoyle kept up his steady, hard rhythm.
