[PP-F4] <<The Essence of Steel>> Crimson Snow

[Hydra 0]

@Allania @Ebony

*Whoo* Hydra parched his lips together and let out a weak whistle, the sound mingled with the howls of the wind as his breath dissipated. The spearman was sat next to Frostbite lake on the fourth floor, it was night time and a pleasant chill lingered in the air. "I could stay here a while." The brunette mumbled staring at the vast sky that stretched above him, dotted with starlight and drifting snow. Truth be told Hydra was not there to relax but was on another quest. Earlier in the day he had been traversing through the fourth floor when someone mentioned a creature with the power of a boss, roaming in a cave to the north of the frozen wasteland. According to the information it had wiped out small parties of players but no one had ever seen it. Most of the time Hydra would ignore requests but for some reason he had been specifically asked and he couldn't turn the man down. The brunette had also been told to wait near frostbite lake, in case any more company was to show up.

Getting a little paranoid about the creature, Hydra quickly opened up his inventory and selected two items. The first was a perfect sake cupcake he had bought, the player was quick to wolf it down. He noticed his damage increase at the price of 3 points in evasion. The second item crashed to the ground making snow splutter everywhere. His 6 foot tall statue of the mythological Hydra certainly looked out of place. "Grant me your health." The spearman uttered, the statues eyes let out a bright blue light before diminishing. A small green light surrounded him momentarily granting him +20 HP temporarily. Forgetting it became cosmetic after use the statue now stood next to the bank of the lake, stuck there. "I probably should have thought about that one..." He let out a light chuckle.

[Ebony 0]

Ebony wandered through the snow on the fourth floor, her favorite floor by far. It seemed that after floor eleven or so things got incredibly gloomy, even creepy. Giant dim forests, volcanoes, graveyards... One would think it had something to do with the emotions of the frontliners of something. As she was walking she noticed a player standing in front of a rather tall statue of a hydra. She remembered Zelrius had had a helmet made out of the skull of one, back when he was still alive... She wandered up to the player, wondering if he had created a shrine and was worshipping or something. Players did weird things when they were under stress like this game put on them. "Hey, whats up?" She called out, raising her hand in a wave, the glowing white glove sparkling in the light reflecting off of the snow. Perhaps she was only taking the deaths of Dom and Zel well because of it. She always felt comforted, like she had a guardian angel of sorts watching over her, whenever she wore it.

Allania was walking through the frozen fields of this frigid wasteland. Shivering and hugging her slight frame tightly. She did not like this floor, it was far too cold for her liking. Se much preferred the scorching heat of the floor above her head. It was just as hostile but the warmth was welcoming. Allania had been heading towards the lake, heading to meet up with Hydra for a quest.

The cold wind bit into her as she walked, trudging her way through the snow, her progress slow. Blaze trotted along at her side, his little hooves digging deep into the snow, covering most of his legs, it was amusing to watch him walk but she soon knelt down and picked him up, carrying him in her arms as she went. Soon she could see Hydra on the horizon, another player approaching him. One she did not recognise. Assuming it was just a friendly person checking up on him, as was the norm in this world, she just continued, waving at Hydra in the distance to announce her presence.

Hydra let out a long sigh and glanced around for a spot he can rest in for the night, suddenly he heard a voice call out. His heart jumped up in his chest, he hadn't been expecting it at all. Stumbling backwards he crashed into a nearby tree. The branch above him gave way to the large amount of snow which had gathered dumping it directly on his head, and decorating his upper body in the white particles. "C...cold.." he stuttered grasping his elbows shivering harshly. Remembering the voice he looked to the direction it had come from. The immediate thing Hydra noticed was a white light sparkling lightly, his pupils concentrated on the shining object burning in pain. He was also memorized by it if not for the fact it was moving closer, the brunette snapped to and saw it was a glove equipped to a player. Recalling the question she asked and throwing a glance towards his statue he wasn't really sure how to explain. "H..hi, erm it's a long story..." He managed to stutter with a smile on his face. Somewhere in the distance Allania was coming towards the pair, although Hydra hadn't managed to make her out in the dark and the snow.
