The winds of winter brushed gently against a young ninja girl as she passed through the arched gates of the grand city. Through snow she trudged, cursing the fact that the city had not thought to shovel the snow away… Then again…What more could she expect from this rather pompous city, where most people never had to work a day in their life. No one would think to clear the cities streets for easier travel… No, they sat in their warm houses, indulging themselves with warm food, while others whom actually had to work actually had to travel through this thick, white and fluffy soot….

Oh yes… Was she ever aggravated…Maybe not so much at the snow, but the fact that she was called in the middle of winter to attend an unnecessary audience with the king…

She hated winter… The cold, the wind…and the ever expanding see of white that extended almost miles on end…

But the king was not one to wait, and called her here now… Instead of waiting for the sun to come out and drive away the snow…

She stopped her train of thought, mentally kicking herself for thinking so…Negatively… And complaining a little to much… She knew better then to complain… She knew to suck it up, and deal with it… But… It was all so infuriating.

As she cleared the flight of oversized stairs, she approached the entrance to the castle. The knights at the door didn't have to glance at her twice to know who she was… She was a regular whom came to the castle nearly once a week, for the past year now… So, they instantly allowed her admittance into the castle.

Inside, the castle was warm… She sighed in relief, and slipped off her long purple scarf, tossing it onto a small rack, and heading into the corridor of the castle.

Instantly, she came upon the king, sitting in his throne, and staring at her with an almost impatient glare.

"You're late Sheena… I told you to be here over an hour ago…" He bellowed, his voice ringing through the near empty room.

Sheena inwardly flinched, anger rising in her chest… He was such a bastard to her… Complaining when late, and never taking into consideration the obstacles she overcame while trekking from Mizuho to Meltokio. She dipped her head politely, though she regretted the gesture. "I am sorry for the inconvenience, your highness… It was troubling getting though the thick blanket of snow… I will make sure it never happens again…" She tried to sound as… Calm, and polite as possible…

The King narrowed his eyes slightly, brining a hand to his beard rubbing it in an impatient manner. "See that it does not…" He mumbled irritably… Making her blood boil even more. "Anyway… I have an important job for you regarding your job as peace emissary…Though this particular mission has nothing to do with your job at all…" Now he was speaking in circles… She hated when he did that…Maybe it was habit because of his old age… "The area around Flanoir has been traumatized by a beast… I couldn't find anyone else for the job, so I would like you to go an exterminate the monstrosity… Think you can handle that…."

She nodded sharply… "Yes, your grace…" She muttered, even though she really had no choice in the matter, no way to avoid this mission…

"And…" The King began once more… "You must be accompanied by the EX-Chosen…" That almost set her off the edge…

Her once bowed head, sharply snapped up… "Wait…What!?" She exclaim Ned, barely managing to keep from a scream…

Footsteps sounded behind her… She spun around almost instantly… The outrageously red hair of the former Chosen appeared… "Heeeyyy~ Sheena! Long time no see…"
