The frigid peaks of Shakrami are where many lost souls have perished due to the ungodly freezing tempature. A snowy blanket stretches as far as the eye can see, and it's quite shocking that there are even just a few trees growing in this place. It's currently in the hours of the night, the scarlet moon being full and shining its ruby light upon everything below. A crisp, biting breeze whispers of death as it weaves about in the air. All was silent, not even a hint of life was shown.

Stepping through the thick slushy snow as she lifts her legs up high just to move her feet for every step. Her arms crossed over her chest closely embracing herself feeling very cold. Anri rode along Angelo’s back hidden deep down inside of his fur, peering out. I don’t need anyone I have, Angelo and Anri she thought to herself. Unsurely about it she looks down over at the map making sure they were heading in the right direction. Letting a breath escape from her lips which forms into the air. “We’ll freeze at this rate.” She says to herself reaching down to grab her pinwheel. Removing it out and attaches it to her arm. She presses the button on the holster. Watching it flinging out forward through the snow cutting a clear line through. Catching it back once again and throws it out one more time to thicken the line making almost a smooth cut path. Able to walk much freely through they snow the start picking up their pace quite more quickly then before. Angelo ran off ahead of her stopping when she needed to cut through the snow once more. She stands there with her back against him thinking for a moment. Rolling the map up into almost a scroll such as people would do with posters. Extending her arm out with it inside of her hand “Hold this for me, will yah?” She asks him. Angelo leans over, grasping the map around with his jaws holding it in place. The ends hanging out of the sides of his mouth.
This time grabbing the middle of her pinwheel’s blade where the bars cuts through the middle. Slashing at the snow with fully strikes as she begins rushing doing this all at the same time. Snow being tossed into the air. Making her own way, Angelo stayed a bit behind her now not wanting to get covered in the snow.

A couple of ledges above Rinoa, Isaac made his way to the top of Shakrami. He was seeking the alleged Goddess Shiva, to save a dying village from the blistering sun in the deserts of Shm'Ahnmik.
He slowly forced his legs through the snow, his hands occupied from holding up his heavy glaive above his head. His body was covered by only a thin fur jacket and heavy duty camo pants, his hands were naked and tortured by the harsh climates and the cold, thick metal of the glaive only made it feeling worse. Snow was caught between the large spikes of his hair, and single earing on his left ear was almost frozen. He breathed heavily, trying to catch every ounce of oxygen in the thin air. Isaac wasn't used to such weather, because he grew up on the coastline where it never snowed.
"A hell of a thing to get myself into..." Isaac thought, to fatigued to speak aloud. "Maybe I should rest a'while." He liked the idea if recuperating some of his strength. He found a small cave indented into a large boulder on the moutain, and Isaac stepped inside, pulling the thin jacket over him again. He brushed off some of the snow from his hair and the fur on his jacket. Thankfully, his pants were almost waterproof, so they weren't very cold. He dropped the glaive on the ground and sat himself down against the cavewall. He rubbed his painfully cold hands togethor and closed his eyes for a while...

Stopping at the edge of the ledge finding herself at a dead end. Another ledge at the bottom clear across the whole area. Pausing still for a moment to catch her breath. Leaning half way over with her head hanging down her chest. Her necklace around her neck dangling into the air along with her hair. Angelo stood there panting tiredly awaiting for her to make a move of what to do next. Lifting her head back up, her hair hanging down over her face covered in her out breaking sweats. Looking up the reflection of the moon gleaming off throughout her eyes. Placing a hand onto the side of her forehead, her eyes scrolling down looking at the necklace which has a ring hanging from a chain. Lowering her hand down from her face she lifts it up in her hand looking closer at it. Dropping her hand back at her side, shaking her head knowing this was still the right way, but yet they were cut off. “Alright, I guess were going to have to jump this one.” She says looking over at Angelo knowing he would have to carry them across. Walking over to his back she lifts Anri off.
Climbing over onto Angelo’s back she sat Anri between her legs. Grasping her hands over onto Angelo’s shoulders hanging onto the fur. Soon backing up Angelo ran forward charging off the ledge. Pushing off some of the snow brushing off and falling behind. Leaning downwards he came across soon reaching the other side. His paws hitting the surface roughly sliding across into the snow. His legs going out from underneath him. Considering the snow underneath had sheets of ice. Feeling her hands slip, flinging off from the side of his back. Finding herself sliding over near the ledge on her stomach. Reaching out with her hands trying to hang onto, but nothing is there to even grab.

<Little Anri rushes to her rescue, taking a good portion of her fabric into his mouth and beginning to try and pull her towards safety. As he struggles with trying to save the one he had been assigned to protect, the two oval shaped beads on his forehead were alight with a faint navy glow.>
"You know...this wasn't such a good idea."

Digs her nails into the ice trying to pull herself up quite more. Her eyes going blank hearing the creature talk. “Yes, I know it wasn’t a good idea, but what else was I suppose to do? Wait….what….? Did you just say some thing?!” She says thinking the cold has made her lose her mind. With the help of Anri she is able to pull herself back up fully over the top of the ledge. Sitting down she smacks her forehead with her hand shaking her head. Angelo tries to get up back over onto his feet, but the falls straight back over unable to support himself quite well due to the ice. “Oh god I lost my mind…” She says to herself.

<Faint chuckling could be heard echoing through her mind, along with his soft, child-like voice once more.>
"I can speak, no need to become so alarmed, my lady. You still have all of your sanity, I promise."
<He pads over to the girl, nudging one of her hands with his oddly warm nose, then motioning to a small grove of trees (who were still alive, curiously enough) with his head.>
"Perhaps we should make camp there."

~Not too far away from Rinoa and her protector, Hunter walks slowly through the snow. He lets out a sigh, spreading his arms and Closing his eyes for a second. He looks up to the sky with his eyes still closed, a wide and surprisingly white smile plastered on his face. Blissful, he takes no care in being quiet~ "I love the cold! I love the brisk air! this is my element...."
~Taking a few steps forward, He suddenly collides with Rinoa, knocking her down to the snow. Confused, he looks around to see what exactly he hit...but since she is face down in the snow, he doesn't see her~ "What the...."

Isaac woke to the grumbling in his stomach. He had only eaten once since he began to climb the mountain, which was about a day ago. He didn't prepare himself for the trip nor did he know how to ration his salted beef jerkey. However, he did have about half a canteen of warm water, and a small flask of hard alcohol.
He yawned and scrambled to his feet, thinking of other places he would rather be, such as a warm and sandy beach... or a cozy inn that served 16-ounce steaks with hot mashed potatoes and gravey. But that only made him more miserable and hungry.
Lifting his glaive that was almost frozen to the ground, Isaac dragged his feet outside the cave, kicking up some snow in the process. He shivered slightly and pulled his fur jacket over his arms again. He then looked around for something to eat, and all he could see was white snow... and a giant centaur.
Isaac then squinted his eyes to see if he was hallucinating again. But no, the centaur was as real as the cold. He knew he shouldn't call out to him, for the centaur was a considerable distance away and yelling might cause an avalanche. He then kneeled down and scooped up a ball of snow into his already numb hands and lobbed it at the centaur's head, trying to get his attention.

<He gave a sharp bark of protest to the Centaur, though he was extrememly hard to see considering he almost matched the snow completly. His eyes narrowed at the beast before bounding over to Rinoa, trying to pull her up out of the snow.>
"Mistress, are you alright?"

Her eyes spun in cricles from just almost falling off a cliff to now being stepped on. "I felt better other days... Erm, just a bit confused is everyone here to get the aeon?" She asks climbing out of the snow. Sitting down in it, rubbing at her back as she winces. Her eyes trailling off and glares over at the Centuar. "Thanks for stepping on me..." She mumbles under her breath.
"Gaaah!" She yelped ducking down back over into the snow. Noticing someone was throwing snowballs near them. "And I thought I would be only on this journey." She says to herself quietly before standing back over onto her feet. Making her way over to the tree's sitting down underneath them with her back up against it. Angelo tilts his head sideways looking over at Davion remembering who he was. He pounces over on top of him almost knocking him to the ground below. Licking at his face up and down, barking everyly so loudly.

~He steps back and looks down again, seeing Rinoa and Angelo, but the snow-white animal eludes his vision~ "I'm terribly sorry--Rinoa?! Rinoa, what are you doing here? what are the odds of us meeting again so soo-" ~He cuts off his sentence short as his keen hearing picks up the snowball headed toward his postion. He turns his head to try and find where the noise is originating from...just in time to get a face full of snow~
~He steps back again, and then almost loses his balance and Angelo jumps onto him. luckily, Angelo manages to lick away the snow from his face before the cold started to burn. grabing the dog gently, he holds him at arms length as he looks back toward the origin of the snowball. He shakes his head some, trying to shake off the remaining snow~ "alright, who's the wise guy?"

Isaac let out a small laugh as the snowball exploded on the centaur's face. He then slung his glaive over his left shoulder and into its corresponding hand. He used his now free hand to wave at the travelers below him. Fearing an avanlanche, he was careful not to speak... although he did want to talk to them.
Isaac backed up a little bit and away from the ledge, making some space for a running start before he leaped off the ledge and into the travelers. But before he could leap, he slipped on some loose snow and began to tumble down to them.
When he finally reached the adventurers, Isaac was upside down and on his back. His glaive came rolling down after him, and impaled itself in the snow. He soon stood up and dusted off most of the snow from his legs, chest, and hair.
He then grinned at the strangers, pulling his hand up behind his head to scratch the area. "Hey, guys... how are ya? The name's Isaac... Isaac Daud. Pleased to meet'cha!" He stuck out his other hand for a shake.
