And so another chapter is born from the dark corner of my mind...

Kidding :3 Anyway, there is lots of snow in this one and one of those little caves that are just randomly there in the middle of a wall. I like those caves =w=

Reviews!

healylite: Thanks for your review~ Well, here's the next chapter you were lookng forward to!

So, snowy highlands and two friends. What could possibly go wrong?

26 Letters, 26 Words - Chapter 3

C is for Cold

The Mon Highlands were as snowy as ever, maybe even more snowy than usual. Of course, this didn't bother a certain mercenary and his friend as they trekked through the freezing terrain.

The two had no real destination in mind, considering the fact that they had travelled to the highlands on a whim. Leia rubbed the exposed part of her arms, trying to stay as warm as the weather would allow. She looked over at Alvin, envying how he wasn't bothered by the cold at all.

As they travelled, Alvin and Leia began to notice the increase in numbers of the small caves visible in the rock walls. Leia's curiosity slowly began to win over.

"I'll be right back, I just want to check something out!" She called as she ran off, avoiding a few dragons on her way to the small cave. When she arrived, she bent down and crawled into the entrance.

Outside the cave, Alvin sighed and shook his head. His companion's curiosity had taken over several times already and, most of those times, landed them into some sort of trouble. He looked around, taking note of the monsters in the area until his eyes were covered by something and a familiar laugh sounded from behind him.

"I'm back! Let's carry on." Leia cheered, moving her hand from his eyes. Alvin chuckled, then continued ploughing through the deep snow at their feet. He frowned, a thought crossing his mind.

"Hey, Leia. Was the snow this deep before?"

"I was thinking the same thing... It definitely wasn't." She replied. "It's probably just our imagination."

While the two were walking through a northern branch of the highlands, the wind picked up considerably and snow began to fall even more. A blizzard, and a fast-approaching one. Alvin quickly grabbed Leia's hand and looked around, searching for shelter.

After a few seconds, Leia pulled on his arm and started to walk towards one of the cliffs. Sure enough, a small cave could be seen from where the duo stood. They made their way over and crawled inside, glad to be out of the storm.

Later on, the blizzard was still raging and the wind was howling even louder than before. Alvin and Leia hadn't moved from the cave, but Leia's shivering was much more visible than earlier on. She was freezing.

Silently, Alvin got up and moved over to her side. He removed his coat and draped it over his companion's shoulders, then placed one of his arms around them. They sat in silence for a while before Leia moved a little closer to Alvin and leaned against his side.

"Thanks, Alvin."

"Anything for you." He replied, pulling the girl a little closer and letting a small smile cross his face.

Yay, fluff :D Anyway, here's the third chapter! More will come, I promise~
