The sky was light-blue, with pieces of cloud slowly flying by over the right. Hun was holding his arms, while shivering, as his teeth were chattering. In front of him, Mirii: her hands were over her mouth, as she was breathing loudly. Her shoulders were rose.
Their steps were leaving small footprints, all around trees and bushes as the snow was covering the tops. Mirii let out a loud sigh, as her head turns on the right and her right iris catches Hun's left side of his head. She rose her eyebrows.
"Hunley, how are you feeling?"
The boy chatters loudly, while patting both his arms.
"I-I'd never imagine how cold th-the temperature would get!" He grits his teeth, as his eyebrows rose. "I-I want to stay near a lit up chimney…"
Mirii's heart was slowly falling. She kept seeing his eyes: those were getting as blue as the night. She bites her lips, as a strong sense of remorse was chocking her throat. She shook her head, trying to compose the best posture she ever attempted.
"We must proceed, Hunley." She nods, mustering all the seriousness she could get on her face. "Don't think about that chimney or else the whole situation will get worse…"
Hun shakes his head while closing his eyes, as haunting theories were going around his head.
"I-I don't want to become immobile like the others we have seen!" His eyes were heavy, his mouth was frozen, his tentacles were getting whiter. "I-I don't even know where we are…"
Questions were getting in every angle and sector of Mirii's head. Her eyes kept turning left and right, seeing bushes, small rocks, trees, thin branches and snow… lots of snow. She could form thousands of snowsquids using this snow… or even an entire castle complete with furniture, windows and even a bed as large as the map of the entire universe.
Yet, the time was low and the stomach was grumbling a bit: that snow let the girl see an image of a tower made by white cotton-candy.
"Let's keep moving!" She frowns, as her anger was right under her throat. "This ridiculous, omnipresent, arrogant snow is not going to put our feet on a stop."
Her teeth were gritted, as she felt sliding them over a chalkboard. Her right foot threw itself over a dwarf hill of snow, leaving only a puffy snowy dust. Hun jumped, as a sense of adrenaline overwhelm his body: before his mind could see, he was already in front of Mirii's face which smoke was coming out from her ears.
"Wh-what's happening?!" His hands were almost over her shoulders.
Her sight caught each one of them, as a snort and a push moved them on her right.
"This place is making my soul boil!" She shook her fists, as her body was showing vivid colors and a warmth temperature. "THAT'S WHAT IS HAPPENING! WE ARE WALKING FOR ONE HOUR AND WE ARE SEEING NOTHING BUT SNOW! I WOULD RATHER DIVE INTO AN ACTIVE VOLCANO, THAN STAYING ONE MORE MINUTE IN THIS WASTELAND OF AN EXISTANCE!"
Her breathes were loud and long. Hun was way ahead with his arms covering his face. Instantly, the voice of her mature self was ringing in her memories, along with the loud slap who drew her cheek with the red image of a hand. Her eyebrows immediately rose, as multiple wrinkles appeared on her forehead.
"Ooooh, Hunley…" She walks, as her hands cover her mouth and her body temperature lowers down drastically. "Forgive my lack of self-control…"
The boy jerkily lowers his arms, as his eyes were bluer, his pants a bit down and a transparent liquid right under his nose. He sniffs loudly, as he rubs under it with his right forefinger.
"I-I'm sorry for what I did to you." His eyebrows were high, while his teeth were chattering inside his mouth.
"You didn't do anything to me!" Mirii frowns, as the heart jumps over her throat for a moment. "I was unable to hold myself into mindless rambling over this meaningless snow!"
Her right foot stomps the snow underneath.
"I-I can't stop my limbs… I-I just want to suddenly see the light of the day and find myself on my bed!" Her eyes felt watery, her mouth was spitting an invisible weight.
Hun lowers his head, his eyes were seeing every single small shape formed by the snow.
"I want to hug Fara again…" His voice whispered.
The wind was passing by, who knows where… it felt loud enough though. Mirii sighed, as she closes her eyes and feels two large hands rotating their fingers clockwise on her head's sides.
"Hunley, would you like to walk a bit more and then sit down, taking a breath?" She smiles, as her right hand grasps her left elbow, feeling her heart less stretched.
The boy slowly raises his head, as his eyes were seeing Mirii but his head felt frozen, unable to jump anywhere near it.
"Hunley?" Her hands rest on top of each other, in front of her legs, as her mouth holds the little amount of air inside.
"Huh…?" He hears his forehead, but not so much his brain. Cold air was passing in and out of his mouth.
Mirii's stomach tightens, her eyes expand. She steps closer Hun, feeling too light to leave any footprints on that dreadful snow.
"Hunley, are you alright?"
Her voice caresses the boy's left cheek, suddenly feeling warmer and brighter. His smile stops midway, as the energy wasn't coming, neither the will.
"I don't know…" He shakes his head, his feet were hurting, his throat felt congested. "If we walk in this direction, we are going to see more trees or bushes… and the coldest snow I could ever imagine."
Mirii's right fang touches her lips' right side, as her irises bounce left and right for a moment. Not the possibility of finding a smart being or even an abandoned wooden house in the middle of the forest, let her heart slowing down.
"Wh-what nonsense!" Her mouth couldn't close, her eyebrows couldn't rise and her right cheek kept twitching. "We woke up in the Inkopolis of the future, met our grown-up selves and even appeared somewhere else. Who could possibly deny the fact that all the sudden we would be around palm trees, a grassy field and tons of fruit for us to eat?!"
"Without freezing like we are doing here." His smile grew a bit, his posture increases, he's not trembling and feeling the cold stinging all over his arms.
"That too." Mirii nodded, hearing a warming sensation coming from her stomach. "Maybe after taking few steps over there, we might encounter a tall house with the lights coming from the windows and fire in the chimney."
The boy turns behind, puffing his chest and feeling the adrenaline flowing through his veins.
"What are we waiting for? Let's get there!" His right foot moves ahead.
Mirii smiles, while leaving out a warming sigh in a silent blow. Her hands kept patting her arms, while bending forward a bit. She kept seeing a blazing sun looming over her head and feeling her feet touching the vivid green grass, gently sliding all over them.
Thump!
Her breath came out in a gasp, her eyes almost out, her back felt like being passed by a steamroller. The burning sensation all over her body was stinging, but at the same time energy was flowing over her stomach. A pale hand came in front of her eyes, as a small breeze came near her face.
"Are you fine?!" His hand was trembling a bit.
A groan came out of her teeth, as her right hand goes on his, grabbing it. She slowly stands up, while shaking a bit: immediately, her hands were stroking her tentacles, throwing the snow down to the ground.
"Let's forget about this little incident…" She slightly rose her head, while lowering her eyelids a bit. The mouth downturned, her nose moved left and right. "After all, I'm standing up."
"Are you sure? I heard"
"Of course I'm sure!" Her right hand waved, her eyes closed a bit. "Now, turn around and"
A loud snort noise echoed throughout the forest. Both the Inklings felt like an ice cube sliding down on their backs. All their limbs were stretched down, their irises were shrunk, their mouth sealed with dusty ice resting on them.
Footsteps were now in the air, making their little hearts beat even faster. The sound was increasing in volume… other smaller snorts passed near their ears. Jerkily, Hun turned behind as something large and round was just moving around the trees. A brown fur appeared in sight, with a small long nose, even smaller black eyes and ears, flat paws and tail…
Mirii swallowed loudly, as the beast was getting slowly closer and showing the sharp fangs.
"Hunley…" A single sweat slid from her head's right side. Her foot gently slides backwards. "Move… carefully… behind…" Her voice came lowly.
The boy's arms were semi-open, his fingers were twitching. He gradually turns, seeing the girl's large irises. A growl lasting for two second pushed his back, as the heart almost stopped.
"NOT LIKE THAT!" The girl frowns, turns and sprints ahead with her hands sideways.
Hun runs behind, while clenching his fists and moving his back a bit behind. The creature kept pushing the legs over the two.
"SEABEARS DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE WHO LOOK RIGHT IN THEIR EYES!" Her head turns to her right, seeing Hun approaching.
"I-I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T KNOW!" He grits his teeth, his eyes were getting watery.
The girl jumped over a rock, while Hun just passed from its right. The seabear kicked the rock, as it bounced over the right.
"THERE IS NOTHING WHO CAN CALM THIS BEAST, NOW!" She was breathing faster.
Hun turns his head sideways: the animal growled, as saliva flowed through the fangs. The boy yells, as he immediately turns his head on the front and moved his feet even faster.
"I-I WANNA SEE MY SISTER GROW!" He squeezed his eyes.
Mirii looks left and right: a white rabbit jumped and jumped over a group of trees.
"THIS WAY!" Mirii turns over the left, while frowning a little.
Hun opens his eyes, then turns his head over Mirii, as he moves right behind her legs. The seabear slides a bit, while the paws' claws grasping the snow: in a second, the beast gradually moves faster over the two Inklings, snorting.
Mirii jumped left and right, over trees: Hun just turns his body, sliding slightly over a direction. He sees dust from the girl's feet.
"MIRII! WAIT!" He waves his right hand.
The girl immediately turns her back, while leaving her mouth open.
THUMP!
She fell on her right hip, as a cry left her mouth. She curled, as her left hand took her right arm. Her eyes were squeezing, her frown was stretched down, her teeth were gritted. Hun stood his right foot ahead, as he was sliding over Mirii while decreasing the speed.
"OH NO! WHAT I HAVE DONE?!" He bends down a little, leaving his mouth open and his eyebrows rose.
Another growl penetrate in his ears, as the boy rose his shoulders and closed his eyes. He turns behind, seeing the seabear moving left and right over the trees. He returns over the girl: she was groaning, whispering incomprehensive words, slowly kicking her legs.
The boy let out a short, loud sigh: he bends down, as his arms grasped the girl. He cried out, as he slowly lifts Mirii over his belly. The seabear's eyes were right over the two, as the head lowers and the fangs gritted.
The boy rose his right leg: his back gradually falls behind, landing over the snow.
THONK!
The girl opens wide her eyes: the seabear was standing in midair, with the head touching the dark brown wood. The creatures slowly slides down, touching the ground: the long, saliva-filled tongue sticks out from above the fangs, as the irises were turning clockwise. A bump appeared between the ears, as two pine cones fell on the left.
The girl's jaw dropped.
"Hunley…" She turns over his face.
His eyes were expanded, his mouth sealed, his arms frozen.
"… let's get out of here." Mirii quickly stands up, moving ahead.
Her left hand grabbed her right arm, as her eyes were semi-squeezed, her teeth gritted. Her ears caught other steps from her right. In front of the two Inklings, a faintly blue-green bird with a crest on the head and three flat, large feathers: the head was tilting left and right, while hopping around a tree.
The small head immediately turns over the young Inklings, as the wings instantly open and waves up and down: Mirii kept running, passing right down the creature.
