Chapter 10: Amidst the Fallen Snow
Mayan 10th 3924
Today we are leaving for Flanoir to make the pact with Celsius. Kratos says we will travel by boat to Ozette stop for a short break and then travel on to Flanoir. Remiel and Spiritua have already joined us. Celsius is strong and we will need all of the help defeating her that we can get. This journey is a team effort. I have never seen snow before. There has not been snow in Heimdall in 50 years. I can build snow and make snow angels (without moving Tee Hee), and of sledding and snowshoeing, and skiing. All of those fun winter sports that I have been wanting to try our forever. Sis says the snow in Flanoir is very romantic. Yuan just grinned when she said that, I think that they are planning to run away to Celsius's priest and elope. Sis is getting very frustrated with all of Yuan's parents elaborate wedding plans and she just wants to get it done and over with. That is fine by me since I really do not want to dress up in fancy robes and not be able to go out and play all day long. Not to mention days and days of boring grown up parties where I have to dress nicely and act politely to people I don't like. Arghh!
Mayan 11th 3924
Kratos has had the boat re- outfitted it has an expanded cabin space with room enough so that no one has to camp outside on the deck. He also improved the kitchen for me so that there is room enough for all of us to eat in the galley space. It is so cool. We also have the added benefit of my pact with the Sylphs to ensure that the winds are blowing in the right direction.
Kratos also made enough space on the deck so that he, Yuan and I may practice our sword work on the deck without tripping over everything. Remiel will not really need to practice since he primarily uses white magic and the healing arts. Spiritua will not be fighting on this trip she and Sis will mostly be taking care of the camp while we make the pact with Celsius. Remiel and Yuan are being over protective boyfriends and are concerned that even with their Cruxis Crystals Sis and Martel will catch colds since the Flanoir Region is freezing even in Mayan. I think that it is rather silly. I think that Sis is even tougher than Kratos when it comes to some things like dealing with people who are sick or injured. Even though Kratos does know healing spells he doesn't do well with blood. He says that blood reminds him of tomatoes. Kratos hates tomatoes.
Mayan 15th 3923
Well we are here in Flanoir and boy is it ever cold and snowy. Lots of snow tee- hee. I just got back from going sledding on a big hill outside of town with Yuan and we really had lots of fun. My boots are entirely soaked and Sis really yelled at me for getting all wet. She is worried about me catching a cold up here and here not having the means to cure me. I told her that Flanoir is not really all that primitive or isolated. She smacked me in the head for that comment. Kratos says that I should not worry Sis so much since she has sacrificed so much to take good care of me and make sure that I at least minimally have a decent childhood. Well I am going to go down to the dining room here at the inn and have some clam chowder and a grilled cheese sandwich. Yumm!
Mayan 16th 3923
We are at the Temple of Ice. Man is it ever cold in here. The only thing that I want to do is go back to the inn and have some hot chocolate. The monsters here are really tough too. Penguinists are a pain in the butt. But with each one I defeat I grow stronger and gain more experience in fighting as well.
8:00 p.m. I really envy Sis and Spiritua for being able to stay in camp. Celsius was really tough. She agrees with my goals of making a better and safer world for all races to live in. I also inquired as to what her hobby was. She apparently enjoys snowboarding and figure skating. I asked if she would teach me how to figure skate during the next couple of years. Between that and using Efreets fire swallowing skills that he is teaching me I should be able to get work in the circus if all else fails. (Efreet 7923, "Mithos always was a bit of a sarcastic brat.") Thank goodness we get to return to the inn and get warm now. Hot chocolate and a warm bed (even if I don't really sleep anymore it is still comfortable) that is about all any of us are good for right now. Tomorrow we will head home for Heimdall and another six months of both of my internships. Kratos says that my skills right now are not quite strong enough to fight Shadow yet, and that I need to develop my Light Spells, and angelic powers further in order to defeat him.
