As the caravan moved slowly through the snow, siren sat staring into space, her mind consumed with thoughts of the demon, and more so, of the mage that had told them he would rule the lands. Her breath condensed in front of her, causing small puffs of cloud with every exhale. She looked down at the book that she held in her hands, barely seeing it there. How many more will suffer, just so that we can find this treasure? she thought. Since the night of the demon, one more had joined their party, sitting apart from the rest. No one knew the name, nor what species that newcomer was, but he seemed to feel that his presence was necessary to them. Siren's gaze flickered over the cloaked form of the new group member, then slowly made its way to Kyern and Pyros. She wondered what each wanted the treasure for. what will it accomplish if we are each but a little richer, and not even in knowledge? she thought solemnly.

The demon was stuck in Nazgrel's mind. There were dark magics involved in this journey... would they ever succeed? He hadn't yet ever revealed himself, he seemed mysteriously... unfit? These travellers knew each other, though he didn't know them at all. He closed his eyes, wondering about the demon. The girl was gone, and only the book remained. But the girl had obviously importance in recovering the great book.. he sighed. There must be more. The girl has gone.. somewhere..
He knew he could trust these beings. They were not going to keep the treasure for their own good.. it had to be kept away, safe from those who wished to use it wrong. He hoped he could trust them.. the only ones he didn't trust were the humans. He had seen greed possess humans in strange ways before. But this was an ancient treasure. He would be a legend.. written into books for ages to come.. and told in stories for ages if he could retrieve the ancient treasure with his.. friends??

Kyern walked behind Siren as she looked at the book and led the group through the snow. Apparently they were searching for a new kingdom, the book had discripped a new species that none of the other races could comprehend so he assumed that they were magical and maybe the demon was apart of the new kingdom. Although the Darklight Kingdom sounded somewhere warmer. But he kept on walking through the snow. The weather wasn't bad, is was in fact really sunny! The problem was that the snow was a little too deep. So Siren was walking on the snow because of the fact that she was so light and Kyern had to create the path through the snow. It was really hard and there progress was slow. Hardly anyone was talking and they seemed to keept to their own thoughts. I just need the gold he thought, even if I have to walk through this stupid snow. A huge blast of thunder made the group look up and become depressed as a on coming storm could be seen. Kyern wished Niera was there so that they could have had her cast a weather shield but for all he knew the demon had taking her to the darklight kingdom. The Darklight kingdom has to be here somewhere he rethought. It has been opened since the 21st and that was yesterday, but as he had said before progress was slow. "Siren do you know where your going?"

Siren cast mutinous orange-green eyes at kyern. "Do you doubt me?" she asked, flames bursting up around her feet and making puddles out of the snow. Looking ahead again, she continued to direct the group using the book. She knew that the place she was looking for was near, but she needed one of the members of the kingdom to show the group where it was, for, like a secret keeper, only those that already know where it is can find it. She closed her eyes a moment, then shook her long golden locks loose of her cloak. I dislike static. she thought. Her cat's ears flicked in irritation as she continued to move forward.

"As long as we don't get lost" Kyern muttered under his breath. The storm of course had come in faster then any of them could have expected and a huge wind picked up and started blowing snow in the faces of the travolers. "SIREN WE HAVE TO STOP" kyern yelled over the snow. "WE NEED A SHELTER!"

Pyros was following the group, not making much conversation. He watched as the wind picked up speed and power. The temperature dropped and it was slightly snowing. He realized like Kyern had that the weather was not one of forgiving nature.
Pyros searched around for shelter, there were a few areas he spotted that would make adequate protection from the weather although they didn't seem to house the number of people in the party traveling.

Siren turned her head to look curiously at Kyern, blinking. A bit of snow blew past her face, and she looked up. A swirl of fresh snow was building into a storm above their heads. "I had almost forgotten that humans have virtually no defences against the cold." she said absently. Reluctant to stop, she took another step forward, but noticing that Pyros too was searching about for shelter, she sighed. "There should be enough shelter in that small patch of woods over there, for those of you who cannot keep warm in this weather..." she said, pointing to a nearby standing of trees.
((We're going to go into liquid time now, because we didn't finish before the actual date. So basically, pretend its still before christmas.))

Pyros stopped and listened as Siren commented that the others that couldn't keep warm should go and take shelter. To Pyros this wasn't quite the case, it sounded to him like she was saying those of the weaker race should go and take shelter now. Pyros decided he would handle the cold and fight through it.
"No Thanks, I'll manage" Pyros replied as she offered them shelter. Pyros was a very proud human and was not the kind to give up.

"Come on you fool, would you rather die in the cold?" Nazgrel asked Pyros, knowing the human only wanted to show off how strong he was. "It may ruin your pride, but if you do it, I will too." he growled. His cold, malicious eyes stared at Pyros, as if he was ready to attack the human at any time. Cold was no problem for those with fur.. however, a human couldn't survive for long because they only had fur on their head.

Kyern knew a battle would eventually explode out so he stood up and walked over to the shelter. The tree's were dead but there branches held snow which sorta made a nice cossy cave. He had to get a fire going as well. "Siren we need wood for a fire, and The wood in this area are covered in too much snow."

Siren looked at pyros in confusion. "You were, just a moment ago, saying that we should find shelter. I didn't mean that you were weak, i was just pointing some out... I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear..." she said quietly. Kyern had walked away, but even at that distance she heard him when he told her they needed wood. She turned her head and thought a moment. "We don't really need wood. I could use my magic?" she replied.

OOC: Not to be rude or anything but, Pyros never actually said he was looking for shelter, and he also didn't say that siren thought he was weaker, they were thoughts, Your character shouldn't know any of that...
IC: Pyros looked back at Nazgrel as he snapped at Pyros. Pyros maintained a good lock on Nazgrel's eyes staring him down. Pyros was sure he could manage the cold, but now the entire group was settling down for shelter anyway so there was no point arguing his point.
Pyros walked off toward where the group was setting up for a fire, he sat down about a metre away from the rest of the group, slightly isolating himself. He didn't want Nezgrel to start a conversation with him although he was sure that he wouldn't.
Pyros crossed his legs and folded his arms before closing his eyes and going into a slight meditation.

OOC//: Sorry, i didn't check back to see if it was said or a thought for finding shelter. but i was reacting to what nazgrel said for your being weak, not to your thoughts.
BIC//: Siren moved towards the shelter that kyern had been preparing, and kneeled down in the middle. Moving aside the snow that was already on the ground, she revealed some dry, dead leaves. Focusing her energy, Siren looked straight at the uncovered foliage and they burst into flames. "How is that Kyern?" she asked, moving her eyes towards him.

"Better" he muttered under his breathe as a gust of wind blew into his face bringing the icy cold snowflakes. So he tightened his hood and cuddled up around the fire (Not in it). "Siren when will we finally find the Darklight kingdom?" He waited for her answer, clinging to the hope that they were close.

Siren closed her eyes a moment. She had felt a strange power, and since they had been moving it had gotten stronger. "I have a feeling that we are very close. If only a member of their kingdom would reveal himself to us, then we would be able to see it." she said.
