Íroas' POV

The group that I was following on the vast land of Planet Págos kept glancing back once in a while.I was careful to not get seen as I followed them.Suddenly, an empousa turned around.Luckily for me, tons of torturous training awarded me with amazing reflexes.I dropped to a crouch behind a huge pile of snow and waited until the empousa continued walking.

Technically I wasn't supposed to be doing this, but if your friend was missing, you would try to find him/ her right?

A month ago, Sam was sent on a mission to get information on the opposing side.She was expected to return home within five days, but even after a week, she still did not return.All of us got worried.Chaos has already sent a few soldiers to find her but I had a dream so disturbing that I decided to search for her myself.

So, here I was.In the middle of nowhere, following a bunch of random monsters who might be leading me to my deathbed.

The monsters passed many villages and snow covered mountains and giant ice sculptures, but they didn't even stop to rest.Since they didn't even stop for a while, I couldn't rest for even a second.The cold, cruel wind was not helping.And since the Sun barely rose here, I couldn't stay warm.My cloak which Chaos had given to all its soldiers was supposed to be used for missions in places with high temperatures, not freezing areas with snow and ice.

I was freezing and exhausted, not a great condition to go on a quest.

But my determination to find Sam was enough to keep me going.

When I was bored, which was most of the time, I would look around me.

Snow! Ice! Even more snow and ice!

That was how bored I was

We soon arrived to a massive castle.It somehow reminded me of Westover Hall, the school I visited when I was fourte-Don't think of that, I mentally scolded myself as I managed to not get overwhelmed by memories or get a flashback.I had learnt to bury my memories, deep inside my mind, so that I would not be overwhelmed by emotions.I swore to never remember that place again.

I quickly ducked behind a slab of ice as one of the monsters did a quick check around its surrounding before opening the castle doors and entering with its friends.I hesitated.

Should I actually do this?I mentally asked myself.

Then, mentally shrugged, What's life without risks?Hopefully I won't die.And I slipped between the giant, wooden doors before they closed.

Oh how close I was to that
