The shards down like a shower one by one as the cave shook. The two ran as fast as they could as they try to hurry. Small marks seemed to cut through their skin and clothing. It wasn't severe though the coldness of the objects seemed to burn. Celzus seemed to be dealing with the most trouble out of the two. The sharp objects seems to pin the hem of her dress down along with her cloak and other shards surrounded her tail.
She try hard to get out but she was stuck for good. She was going to have a feeling that she was going to have painful wakening to cold objects sticking through her face. She hoped that she snow haired boy reached at the end of the icy tunnel so he wouldn't have to face the same fate as well.
She closed her eyes, ready to deal with the pain, but unable to with open eyes. She silently waited for a while for those object to pierce through and make her bleed endlessly. She couldn't feel anything at the moment, perhaps the tunnel stopped rumbling and they could travel again, or the fact that a few shards hit her head causing a few of her screws to get loose. Either way, she was afraid to open her eyes to find out what actually happened.
"Your late, brat." An unfamiliar voices that had has yet to be registered, she could not recognized who it belonged to. "I'll explain the details to you later, alright?" The other voice seemed to belong to Jeice. Celzus lifted the lids of her eyes, to see she was no longer in the tunnel. The exact question now where was she? The Icejin examined the unfamiliar area around her. The grass beneath them was covered in frost, the sky was covered by clouds as small flakes seemed to fall to the ground. A waterfall was next to her, it seemed to be frozen, though it seemed thicker than the lake she saw earlier.
Celzus turned her head towards the two voices that seemed to be speaking. It seemed to be Jeice was talking to the other. "Jeice, I thought were faster than this." The other seemed to be a rather tall blue reptilian male. He'd seemed like a snake, if earthlings were to describe him. "I know, though I kind of had obstacles and other things in the way. Aside from the cave that is." Jeice seemed to explain to the other. The Icejin from a small distance away from them blinked. Wondering if the blue male was a friend or perhaps accomplice since the two seemed to know each other.
"The really big question that I have on the top of my head is what is she doing here?" He seemed to refer to the new visitor in their territory. "She happened to follow me hear as I was having trouble along the way." The small boy explained to the older male. "Didn't think you'd catch the attention of an Icejin?" Being in the presence of an Icejin made him worry a bit. Knowing how powerful and dangerous the beings are. Though he knew well enough to keep his cool and to be level headed when he was in dangerous situation, that didn't mean he'd let his guard down.
"Excuse me, are you the one who saved us from the shard collapsing in the cave?" She asked curiously. She could feel the atmosphere around her and it wasn't really as cold as it was before so Celzus knew there was no way she'd be hallucinating this. It was probably the best explanation of his presence. "Your assumption is correct." The tall male nodded. "Well I appreciate you saving our necks back there. I came here to ensure this kid's safety." Celzus spoke as she gestured towards the small boy. The reptilian raised a brow on why would an Icejin, an alien of a proud race to just save a kid on the street.
He didn't know if she did it for good or bad intentions, though he decides not to question it and let it slide for now. "I see that you guys seem to know each other." Celzus stated, seeing that the two were engaging in conversation as she opened her eyes. "The two of us are close friends actually." He spoke to the young female in response. "It's good to see that he has a friend." A small grin stretched upon her face. Then her grin suddenly falters, since she doesn't recall she had a friend, in fact no one seemed to refer to her as one.
A part of herself sank, as she had feelings mixed with envy, jealously, and loneliness. Though she set those feelings to aside, knowing that she shouldn't let her emotions get the best of her. She sets up a smile again but this time, had forced herself to put on the mask, to hide what was feeling inside. "Your friend, Jeice here is a bit stubborn but he wasn't any real trouble at all." She remarked, even though he didn't exactly trust her yet, Celzus was a reliable person. Though they have yet to see that. "Before you cross through that Ice tunnel, you might want to wear some clothing that isn't so long." He suggested.
Celzus's cheeks flushed in embarrassment at his statement. Her soft eyes drifted down to her dress to see how much of a mess it was. "I suppose I can take your advice if I happen to come around here the next time." She chuckled a bit uneasily as she looked back into his eyes, if she can even find them through the crimson that covered over his irises. "Is there another way possible to get around other than the Ice tunnel?" She asked, not wanting to get herself into that mess and endanger herself as before.
"Just follow the trail that has the most snow and I'll guaranteed you'll find your way back to where the towns and markets are in Ziver." The tall male informed her. "Alright, thanks again. I also hope the two of you would be careful." She spoke before heading off.
Alright, posting two chapters in one day, not that's what I call an achievement.
I apologize that not much was going on in this chapter, aside from Burter saving the two. Though I promise that the next chapter will be much more interesting,
