Over night everything turned white, covering the town in a thick layer of snow. Dio had quite a few bad experiences with snow already and he didn't want to add more to them. Still, Knightmaster decided to bother him again by sending him on a mission. A mission with Sieghart. He knew this wouldn't go well. Sieghart knew it, Zero knew it. And Knightmaster knew it too. However, there was no way to argue. Knightmaster found it a nice idea to bother Dio with the Idea of testing Arme's potions whenever she could. Because she knew that it worked. Zero seemed quite sad when Dio left in the morning. Not the kind of sadness that anyone other than Dio would have noticed. But it bothered the Leviathan.

"Move your sorry ass!" Sieghart yelled. He was quite far ahead already. Dio was freezing already. The castle was still there and he was freezing. Awesome.

"Shut up!" Dio yelled. Snow from a tree fell down on Sieghart a second later, causing Dio to laugh at him. A snowball in his face made him shut up.

"I can play this game too. Now move we have this mission to finish."

Dio lifted an eyebrow. When did Sieghart start to care about missions? It took him a while to figure out that the Highlander wanted to be back as soon as possible as well.

"Did you even listen what Lothos said?" Sieghart asked as Dio was walking next to him again. The demon shrugged. Not caring at all.

"If we finish this in time we get some days off." The highlander muttered barely loud enough for Dio to hear. Suddenly the demon's eyes lit up.

"Are you serious?!"

Sieghart rolled his eyes of this enthusiasm and nodded. It wasn't a hard mission anyway. But there has to be some kind of trap if Knightmaster was about to let them have some time off. And there was.

Not long after they reached the village Dio caught an arrow with his rake hand.

"I guess they don't want us here."

"They hate everyone passing this village." Sieghart said and walked through the path. The snow made strange sounds as he walked over it. Cracking noises. But Dio didn't really are as an arrow impaled his right shoulder.

"Hey! Old man! I'm not immortal!" Dio shouted. The moment Sieghart turned he saw him grin, then the ground suddenly gave in and Dio felt like he fell into a pit of liquid fire. He felt like all air was stolen from his lungs. It was impossible to breath.

A hand caught magenta colored hair and pulled the demon back to the surface. Dio blinked, for a moment unable to breath, then he coughed. His whole body was shivering and he stared in disbelief as the saw who saved him.

"W-what the h-hell… " Dio noticed his body was shaking too much to properly voice anything.

"I still need you for this mission, after that you can drown wherever you want."

Dio glared at the immortal. What would he give to have Zero with him now… Zero would have embraced him, trying to warm him up. Making sure he was alright. Dio hated snow, disliked water and both together was the worst combination ever. The air was too cold to use his wings, and his legs were starting to freeze as he slowly stood. No. Not only his legs. His arms, his head… his whole body. Oh.. and the arrow in his shoulder.

"Move!" Sieghart yelled, already rushing away.

Dio crossed his arms in a failing attempt to warm himself. He wanted to go home. Or at least having Zero next to him.

"I'm going home!" Dio yelled, turning around.

"No time off for you then." He heard Sieghart yell.

The immortal could handle a few upset orcs pretty well alone. And even if not, he still wouldn't die from their attacks. Knightmaster would make him Arme's experiment. But right now he didn't care at all.
