Somewhere off in Keterburg...

"K-k-k-kamary-s-s-s-saan..." whined a short, black haired girl. The girl looked up at the taller, golden brown haired one, though her eyes covered by a black blindfold. Clutching her trench cloat, a mix inbetween a coat and a cloak, around her tighter, she continued. "Wh-wh-why d-d-did you h-have t-to p-p-pick th-this p-place?" she asked, shivering like crazy.

"Because, it's cold here. It's better then that boiling desert that I was in." the one named Kamary had replied simply. "You know me and heat, we don't get along well." Though, tripping after she said that, Kamary fell face first into the snow. Getting back up, she brushed herself off. Walking on again, she only tripped two or three feet later.

"B-b-but..." started the other, eyes wide behind the blindfold, a pout across her face. "I-i-i'm c-c-cold..." Hearing her friend's coment on her and heat, she frowned. "B-b-but wh-what ab-b-out m-m-m-me? I-I-I d-d-don't like th-the c-c-cold...R-r-remember ab-b-out m-me and th-th-the c-c-cold?" she whined again, watching her friend get up and trip, get up and trip over and over.

"Ooh...that's right...You and the cold don't get along well either, Kana-Kana." Kamary had said, getting back up out of the snow. Brushing herself off, she nodded. "Well, why don't we head off to..." Kamary trailed off, thinking of a place to go that is wamer then where they were. "Why don't we head off to..." she repeated, taking a map from her bag that she had taken from someone in the deserts. "To, to, to..." she repeated over and over, scanning through the map as Kana had looked up to her friend with a slight pout. "Here!" Kamary exclaimed, pointing to somewhere on the map. Reading the name, Kamary soon repeated it. "Akzeriuth. Hm. Seems strange enough."

Kana looked at Kamary funny, soon looking at the map. "K-k-kama..? I-i-is this m-m-map M-M-Mana Inf-f-fused? If n-n-not...h-h-how c-c-can y-you r-read it?" Kana asked, looking up at Kamary in a funny way through her blindfold. Looking back at the map, Kana soon turned, walking off. "W-w-well...l-l-let's get g-g-g-going...b-b-before I f-f-f-freeze up..." Kana said, shivering still.

Kamary skipped to beside Kana, following her Mana flow. Catching up to her, she tripped. Getting back up, she brushed herself off, reopening her useless eyes to look at Kana. "Just like I should be asking 'How can you see through that blindfold, Likana?'" Kamary giggled out, soon tripping again. Though, Tripping was perfectly normal for her. Once back up, Kamary continued to skip off, tripping as well.

Once outside of Keterburg, Kana looked forwards, stopping in her tracks to see a Snow Trent. "Ah f-f-fu-" Kana started, though being hit atop the head by her friend, who quickly told her not to swear before going into battle.

"Let's finish this quickly!" Kamary exclaimed, taking her throwing daggers from one of her pouches. Starting to cast, she watched as Kana quickly took out her three swords, putting one in her mouth, and going in to attack the monster, only to be brought down.

"Damn it!" Kana exclaimed, getting out, jumping from the cold. Running back, Kana started to cast her own spell. "Let the darkness rule with flame and bring my enemies down..." she started. After a while, she struck the air with one of her three swords, yelling out her spell. "Dark Inferno!"

Just after she had spoken her spell, black flames aroused the monster, soon egulfing it compleately, making it fall. Just as that had happened, Kamary had finished her own spell, yelling out "Ray". After she had done so, rays of light came down on the monster quickly, leaving the monster to be ingulfed by a dark light before vaporizing compleately.

Kana stuck her sword into the snow, pulling the hood of her trench over her head, pulling the cloat tighter around her. "D-d-damn it...C-c-c-cold..." she mumbled as Kamary ran past her towards what ever the monster had droped. As Kamary collected it, Kana closed her eyes, yawning silently. "K-k-kama...K-k-kana...t-t-tired..."

"Don't fall asleep here. We should probably go back to Keterburg and get a room in the hotel so you can sleep..." Thinking, Kamary paused, looking back at her friend. "Your ten years are up, aren't they? Well, that seemed fast...It has only been about three months since the last time..." Kamary said after taking what was needed. Meat and some vegitables. "Well, c'mon, let's go back."

Kana nodded in agreement as she trudged on with her friend, shivering still. Thoughts of sleep and warmth ran through Kana's head as her eyes got heavier, soon trying to close. Keeping her eyes opened, she continued on. Before long, they let them close, now half asleep. "K-k-k-kama..." she called in a yawn. "W-w-w-wait up-p-p..."

Kamary stopped due to tripping. Looking back to her friend, Kamary shook her head. "C'mon, Kana." Kamary said, soon picking her friend up and hanging her over her shoulder easily. Continuing to walk, she spoke as she started to take the cold from Likana's body to try and warm her. "I told you not to fall asleep here and to wait till we got to the hotel."

Kana only gave a silent reply, saying "W-w-when a-are w-w-we gonna g-g-get h-h-home...B-b-back to L-l-l-lost...?" she asked, feeling Kamary take the cold from her body. Though, only soon after, before Kamary could give a reply, Likana had by then fallen asleep, her breaths now coming is sighs.

"Don't worry, Likana. We'll get back some time. Don't worry." Kamary replied as she entered Keterburg, again. Walking to the inn, it seemed normal to the people she walked by to see her carrying the shorter one. Though, truth was that it was probably easy to anyone, even the weakest five year old, Kana only weighing about two or three pounds on land. In the water, it was a different story.

Anyway, coming to the hotel, Kamary had gotten a room for them. Once in the room, Kamary had set Kana in one of the two beds, taking the blankets from the other and putting her in the layers of sheets and blankets. Walking to the window, she looked out it, thinking. Gray is obviously in that desert...I just couldn't stand being in there any longer... Before long, another thought came to her as she looked down to the streets of Keterburg. Wait...if we were able to come through...and we didn't close the portal... Kamary narrowed her eyes. Then...who else could have come to this place? I mean...Trinand and Tristan could have come as well...Or maybe someone or some people worse...

Shaking her head, Kamary smiled. Turning, she walked to her bed, tripping on her way there and landing face first onto the floor. Getting up, she rubbed her face, soon going back to her bed, thinking 'Ow, that hurt'. Finally getting to the bed, she layed down, also falling asleep, dreaming dreams of finding and pretty much killing Gray for making her babysit his little brother.
