As they were walking on the thick white layer beneath their feet, the wind started getting stronger but not enough to call it a gale. It carried small fragment of ice that made the boys feel their faces has been cut up by each and every movement of air. Ignoring the slight pain, they ventured closer and closer to the building.

When the castle came within sight, Shadow and Silver gave their bags that they were carrying to Sonic.

"Are you sure you want to do this? You see, you can pay me something and you don't need to stay here!" shouted Shadow because the wind drowned his voice.

"No way. If we came this far, I'll do it." answered Sonic and walked in the castle.

Shadows and Silver looked at each other in confusion for about half a minute then went back to town.

The blue hedgehog looked around in the enormously huge hall, which was surprisingly untouched.

"Two hundred years old sorceress girl, huh? What a huge bullshit." he thought then continued his way inside the building. He decided to have a look around before he sets up the campfire and makes some cooked meal for himself, since his belly started rumbling.
