[ooc] Tantum, just so you know, Mizuki keeps those kinds of thoughts to herself... most of the time. The only time she would actually ask out loud, is if she thought that there may not be another time to answer it. Just telling you...[/ooc]
The sky was now darkening, and cloud's were filling the sky above them all. It seemed there was going to be a storm, and the entire group was growing weary of the distance they had traveled. Even ShoRyu and ShinRyu were getting a little tired from their expedition. Everyone was thinking their thoughts, and imagining futures, while they walked on towards where they were hoping to find Zegar, or (depending on the person) Duraga. Moving slowly, but surely, they all began to feel the bitter feeling of the cold weather. Jopia was shivering slightly, Tacaeus was trying to block the wind from his face, and ShinRyu & ShoRyu were trying to keep themselves warm with magic. Mizuki and Corona, however, walked on quietly as if everything was normal. Mizuki was starting to think about how things were coming along, and why Zegar left in the first place. She sighed. To her mind, Zegar was the type who thought that people like her were really weak because of their compassion. Yet, she was refusing to believe this, partly on the reasoning that he was her friend...
Jopia: "Shouldn't we stop and make camp?"
*Mizuki jumped in surprise from the outspoken words*
Tacaeus: "Do we really need to?"
Tudeki: "Look at them, Tacaeus. Even ShinRyu and ShoRyu are being effected by the weather. Heck, even I can feel the coldness."
Tacaeus: "...."
Tudeki: "Ok, maybe I
wish I could feel the coldness, but it's still a little cold and there is a heavy snowstorm coming up."
ShinRyu: "He is right."
Tacaeus: "Well... I guess it's ok. But we can't stay for long."
Mizuki: "But what about Zegar?"
Tacaeus: "Don't you think I know what's happening with him? He can't be helped if you all get lost in the snowstorm, and if you freeze to death you'll never get to even think of him again."
Mizuki: "But-"
Tacaeus: "No buts!"
Mizuki: "Fine..."
Jopia: "Nice doggy..."
Corona was going up against Jopia in an attempt to keep him warm, yet, Jopia was still shivering. Having lost the argument, Mizuki plopped up a Tent, and everyone entered. It was small, as usual, yet homey. Everyone began performing ways to get warm immediately when they has settled inside.
Mizuki was making tea, and cooking food, ShinRyu and ShoRyu were setting up small heating fires, and Taceaus, Jopia, and Tudeki were busy making everything storm repellant. About twenty five minutes passed by, and everyone was inside staying warm by the fires. Mizuki had served them some food, and was currently eating between ShinRyu and ShoRyu (partly because she felt a bit safer near them). Finally they had finished eating, and everyone was listening to the heavy storm outside. Suddenly, Jopia was yawning, along with Tacaeus, ShinRyu, ShoRyu, and Corona. They were all dozing off dramatically, and they were swerving from side to side.
Mizuki:"What's wrong?"
Jopia: "I'm tired..."
ShinRyu: "I.. can't seem to stay awa-"
*ShinRyu and ShoRyu fell unconcious, sleeping, near Jopia who was sleeping silently next to Corona's unconcious warm, furry body.*
Tacaeus: "Wh...What's going.. on?!"
Mizuki: "I'm sorry, Tacaeus."
Tacaeus: "Wh-"
*Tacaeus fell unconcious*
Tudeki: "What did you DO to them?!"
Mizuki: "I placed a sleeping powder on their food..."
Tudeki: "Why?! What the hell were you thinking?!"
Mizuki: "You know as well as I that none of them can make it past the snowstorm without having the extreme chance of getting lost. That's why I'm going alone."
Tudeki: "You fool! You can't get through this storm any better than they can!"
Mizuki: "I know you're right. But that's why I want to go alone. If I don't find Zegar, or make it back, you guys will still be able to get Duraga."
Tudeki: "...."
Mizuki: *Getting up* "Give Tacaeus my regards, and tell Jopia to use a bandage every once in a while, ok? It's kind of annoying to have to wash blood stains from clothing."
Tudeki: "....Fine. But what should I tell ShinRyu and ShoRyu?"
Mizuki "... Tell them that I'm sorry."
Tudeki: "Alright."
Mizuki: "Now, remember, the sword is sitting underneath the pot of soup, which is enchanted. If anyone but a person who I consider a friend touched the pot or the sword, they will be lost in time forever."
Tudeki: "....k."
Mizuki finally walked out of the tent, and began walking through the snowstorm in search of Zegar. She was holding a little flame in her hand as a light. She was moving deeper into the storm, and after what seemed like hours of endless searching (and really actually was 4 hours), she tripped over something...
[ooc]Guess what Mizuki tripped over...
