Crystal had started to glow as her power excelled, until Storm's voice brought her back and immediately the temperature began to regulate. Though she couldn't control the weather, she pulled ice and liquidated it, heating it adequately and then gently forming a liquid cocoon around Storm that would retain all the heat possible. "This is the best i can do, I'm sorry."
Shadow moved to a nearby tree and crouched down avoiding the power of the wind. "Who is this, and whats the purpose of this torture," Shadow yelled over the gale that whipped around them.

Storm coughed again before he spoke. "Thanks, Crystal." He couldn't help but cough again. "Don't bother, Shadow. It's not a real being speaking. These are the mountains that the leader of my people always-" He had a coughing fit. "Always come to to be accepted as a king or queen. All the voice does is explains what you're supposed to do to pass. It's so it doesn't choose a poor king." He coughed yet again and he swallowed, his throat getting sore. "Not that I ever wanted to come here in the first place. But I didn't have a choice." The illusion on his wrists and neck fell, revealing the stoned collar and wrist bands he wore. They resembled chains and the ones on his wrist were digging into his skin enough to begin to cause wounds. "I'm the heir, so I had to come. Though, I never expected to drag you two in it and I'm sorry."

"It's alright. I said I'd stay by your side and I'm here." With one burst of energy, Crystal expanded the dome of engulf them all. "This should buy us some time before another obstacle is thrown our way," Crystal said. Shadow stood and let the shroud fade away. "So what are we going to do? Just take it all as it comes at us," He said flicking his dagger out of its sheath and then back in. "Should i try to slash the bonds," He asked looking at them. Crystal reduced the size of the dome conserving as much energy as possible.

Storm shook his head. "Don't you think I've tried? They sure weren't as tight on me as they were before. I couldn't even leave a mark on them and they only continued to shrink. The one of my left wrist hurts more than any of them. And I guess going through the obstacles is all I can do. Until I figure out how to pass one. They should stop if I pass one. But, I don't even know how to pass the one we are going through right now." He coughed again, another shiver racing through him. "There's no way I can stay here for much longer."

"True. sorry, I didn't know they were magic shackles," Shadow apologized. A large piece of an unknown object slammed into the dome and Crystal fell to her knees from the impact of keeping the dome intact. She let the size shrink even further until it could hardly fit them all. Her breath was ragged as she struggled to maintain the barrier. "I don't want my Barrier to be wasted. We should try and cover some distance in any direction while I can still hold this up," Crystal said. She looked around watching for more incoming debris. "Can you walk?"

His crimson eyes looked up at her from under his bangs, indignant, but then doubtful. "Of course I can." He hissed, his pride making him do so. He forced himself into a standing position, seeming to flinch from aches in his freezing joints, using the rocky mountain to help pull him up. He finally was standing, but he used the mountain to lean on. "Which direction would you two like to walk aimlessly in, then?" The cold seemed to be making his mood quite brittle. Still, he glanced down both ways. "That way will lead us to the bottom of the mountain." He pointed to the trail that led upwards and not the one that led downwards. His eyes dared for them to argue with him, though.

Crystal and Shadow both looked at him, but once they met his glare they only nodded. Crystal looked upwards and brushed her hair aside. She took one step forward and looked back at the barrier. "We need to keep in rhythm so no one hits the barrier walls," She said to them both. She then took a second step and Shadow moved his feet at the same time, keeping is distance from the wall as they began to ascend the mountain pass. Shadow noticed the size of the dome was slowly starting to decrease as Crystal under took the strain of the wind and all manner of things hitting them. He adopted a worried look as they continued on wards.

Storm gladly started walking after Shadow, preferring to be in the back as he felt this weak and pathetic. He kept his arms wrapped tightly around him, his whole body shivering with every step he took. He did his best to mimick Shadow and Crystal's steps as he would usually be able to do perfectly, but he struggled occasionally. His claws slowly began to dig into his arms, drawing blood, though he did not seem to feel it and none hit the ground, him being too cold to bleed to fast.

Through rasped breaths Crystal said, "I...don't think i can...hold out much longer." As she said that this, the dome fell to plain water with no properties. Shadow caught her as she was blown back from exhaustion. Shadow let tendrils wrap around them all, blocking a small part of the chill and wind and deflecting small debris. "I can't much right now. Let's just keep moving," He said making sure Storm was still behind them and surviving the onslaught.

Storm quit walking and didn't start up again. He stood there, shivering, looking over the edge of the mountain to the bottom far below. His eyes showed the intensity of his cold. "I can't do this anymore!" His eyes were wild but determined as his mind whirled. "It's too fucking c-cold!" He purposefully drove his claws in depper to his arms, anything to distract him from the cold he felt. "I don't wana be a king! I don't need to be! If I'm not good enough for the position, then they can find someone else!" He brought two of his non-bloodied fingers to his lips and whistled such a piercing whistle, he himself did good not to flinch.

Narasu's enormous body flinched at the noise. His eyes slowly began to open and he began to regain himself from the unkown loss of conscious. He heard a second whistle and he began to growl, struggling to get to his feet, glancing at Aeroth, a question in his eyes of how he had gotten then, but not asking it out loud. "They need our help!" He growled, finally getting on his feet and spreading his wings, leaping over the lava pit and using his great wings to force himself into the sky and in the direction of the small group.

Storm was about to whistle once more until he heard the familiar beat of great wings. He smiled, looking up and seeing his dragon not far off, the wings beginning to die down, too.

Shadow say Aeroth trailing behind Narasu and smiled. Crystal had come back to reality from her brief black out and said looking out over the edge, "What did I miss?" Aeroth came to the edge saying, "I don't know why you refuse my help so often. I wish you allowed me to assist you more. Allies can make you the strongest person in the world," He said, his piercing eyes scanning over them all. "Shall we," Shadow said gently moving him self onto Aeroth's back, offering his hand to Crystal.

Narasu came up beside Storm on the mountain and looked at the boy as he stretched out a wing for Storm walk over on and mount him. "You don't look so good, child."
"I don't feel so good, Narasu." He walked on Narasu's wing, struggling to keep his balance as another cough racked through him. He made it to the dragon's neck and weakly climbed up into his seat. Instead of sitting, though, he laid against the large dragon's neck, holding onto on spine as he let his eyes drift closed. "I'm so cold, Narasu."
The dragon nodded, breathing smoke so that his neck would warm up and Storm could draw from that heat. Narasu looked to Aeroth. "Let's just go to the bottom and rest before we leave these mountains. It'll be much better down there and they shouldn't travel right now."

Crystal took his hand and joined Shadow on Aeroth. Aeroth heard Narasu and nodded his wicked sharp white beak in response. He gave one upward feathered beat and let his altitude fall gently downwards to the base of the mountains, keeping an eye on the passengers. "You two really have a death wish diving into something like this," He said. "You launched me into it," Shadow retorted in tired breaths. "You wanted me to. I won't go against your choices and you know that," Aeroth said as he gently beat his wings letting them fall until his sharp talons dug into solid ground again.

Narasu followed, landing lightly on the ground below where it was much warmer and trees grew, the sun reaching them. Narasu glanced at Storm. "Get off, now, Storm."
The demon shook his head. "I don't want to...." He coughed again and didn't sit up from his laying down position. Even in the warm air, a shiver passed through his body and he winced in pain as it did. However, the blood from his wounds was beginning to run and drip to the ground, showing he had warmed up a little bit.

Crystal leaped from Aeroth and clumsily landed on the warmed earth with a thud. She remained crouched and put her hand on the ground. Water began to raise out of the ground in a line leading off into the trees. "There is some form of pond in that direction," She said indicating the wet mud on the dried earth. Aeroth gently lifted her onto his back again with his sharp beak. "Don't over exert yourself. I'll take you there." Shadow slid off of Aeroth's back, the feathers embracing him on the way down. "You watch out for her. I'm going to rest here a while," He said finding a patch of sun and sitting in it. Aeroth nodded and silently took off.
They landed a short distance off near a rather large pond of clear water that refilled by a stream running from the mountains. She unmounted without the aid of Aeroth and gently moved to the water. She walked in until it was neck deep and then she let herself go under. Aeroth nestled down as he watched over the scene, taking in the pleasant aromas. Moments later, he saw Crystal float almost to the surface. Her arms and legs were extended outward and her body floated just under the surface, never breaking it, a gentle and ever subtle glow enveloping her.

Narasu gently laid himself down, being sure not to rock Storm too much. Still, the demon groaned and wrapped an arm around his stomach.
"Are you thirsty?"
"I don't know what I am..." He groaned, his voice scratchy from coughing.
"Perhaps you should drink some. See if it helps."
"From who, Narasu? I've got no one."
"You have Shadow." The great dragon nodded to the other male who sat right beside them.
Storm shook his head. "You know I only drink from strangers."
"I'm sure he would let you, wouldn't you, Shadow?" He glanced at Shadow as he asked him the question.
"It doesn't matter." Storm hissed, causing himself to cough some more.

"I would't mind. I heal quickly and such pain would be minimal, especailly to help a friend," He said assuming a meditation position and closing his eyes. He then added thinking about Crystal right now, "You should deprive yourself of what you need. Crystal doesn't."
(I just remembered Crystal and Storm making a big deal about this earlier in the rp. just thought I'd bring that up.)

"Crystal also doesn't need to go out and kill everyone in a village to get what she needs. It's different." Storm hissed, closing his eyes tightly as another cough racked through him.
Narasu turned his neck and made Storm fall onto the ground onto his back. Storm winced. "Ow."
"I'll let you back on after you drink."

Shadow said nothing as not to upset Storm, he only sat and meditated, waiting for things to take whatever course they might take. As he meditated, the dark tendrils began to raise and move about as he regain his strength.

Storm once again curled up, shivering. "Narasu, please, I'm really cold...."
The dragon shook his head and bent, using his snout to nudge Storm nearer to Shadow, making him fall from his position and onto his hands and knees. The crimson eyes stayed on the ground until he finally sighed, his voice showing how much he didn't want to ask or drink. "Shadow, can I please drink from you?"
