Fantasy Fantastic Desolator: Realm of Hrenna

[DaughterofShadows]

"Okay then, I hope you can keep up," Shado says, gripping Nashiro's fur. Nashiro raced across the icy tundra, carrying the silver haired girl on her back. Shado kept an eye out, looking for any sign of life, or game.

Natsuo detected movement.

Haruto quickly dashed out of the cave right into the freezing cold. Right in the dead center of it, Haruto took out the Toketsu blade and lunged forward as far as he could, thrusting the blade forward when he could travel no further. Using the shield to swing up, he jumped into the air and executed a 5-strike combo. Slamming the blade back towards the ground, Haruto generated a series of ice spikes around him. When the ice faded away, Haruto sheathed the blade in the shield and held it up the sky. A layer of frost formed over the shield, and made it grow in size slightly.


Well that was kind of obvious, getting more power from icy climates and all that. Haruto mentally noted as he put the shield against his back, allowing it to form an ice shield around him to keep the snow from bothering Haruto as he wandered closer to where Shado was.

 

[DaughterofShadows]

Shado slowed down and looked around the landscape. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw movement in the snow. "A snow rabbit... that will do I guess." Shado urged Nashiro to move towards the rabbit slowly, before cutting it in half, ending it's life. "Gomene, I must eat to survive." Looking around and not seeing anyone, Shado turned into her other form and devoured the rabbit. She switched back to human and wiped the blood of her lips. She then hopped back onto Nashiro and they headed back towards the cave.

 

[PyroHunter16]

Haruto noticed Shado heading for the cave, and followed her in silence, Toketsu's ice shield keeping the icy wind out of his face. When they returned, they saw everyone sleeping in their tents.


"Well Shado. I guess we should sleep. Oyasumi." Haruto stored Toketsu in its rune, then walked over to his tent as he summoned a rune over himself that swapped his current outfit for a warm set of pajamas he had stored.


Yawning on his way over, Haruto stretched before crawling into his tent, getting into his sleeping bag, and lying there in silence as he waited for sleep to take him.

 

[PercyJacks]

The night went on and morning came. Unastonishingly.

 

[DaughterofShadows]

As Haruto fell asleep, Shado remained awake, staring at the moon. She always stayed up and needed minimal sleep, since it was essential to living in a forest full of monsters. She began making shapes in the snow using her sun and moon magic, swirls of golden and silver light mixed in with each other and made a fitting image of a wolf, with gleaming golden eyes. Shado smiled, for real this time. She looked at the moon, imagining what it would be like to touch it, and to become a star, that was her belief. People become stars after they die. She wondered what it would be like, looking down on the world, so high above the clouds. She let down her emotionless face, only for tonight.

Momoka awoke with no headache, thankfully. She got up and got dressed. She climbed out of her tent and started packing it up, yelling. "Wake up guys! Let's get going on breakfast!"

 

[PercyJacks]

Morning arrived before anyone could do anything else during that night.

 

[DaughterofShadows]

"I'm fine, no breakfast for me thanks, I ate while I was out yesterday."

 

[GirlyTurtle]

"Are you sure? What did you have?" Momoka asked while she started pulling out her cooking utensils.

 

[PyroHunter16]

Haruto woke up suddenly. He had an interesting dream, to say the least. A dream about Toketsu, or something that claimed it was Toketsu. The being had told Haruto there was more than meets the eye with his weapons, a power was hidden in the blade. However, Haruto had woken up before he could ask what this power was.


Cold sweat made his clothes cling to him, and he summoned a rune to reconstruct his pajamas into his usual clothes. He walked out of his tent, sitting down by the dwindling fire and responded for Shado.


"All that matters is that she ate. Nothing more." Haruto just spaced out as he tried to remember his dream and what had happened last night.

 

[GirlyTurtle]

Momoka smirked. "Oh, getting protective now, are we?" She giggled. "Ship..." She whispered, not-so-quietly.

 

[DaughterofShadows]

"Don't protect me, Haruto. I can do this myself," Shado says coldly, her emotionless expression back on her face.

 

[GirlyTurtle]

"You heard that, Haruto! So, what did you eat last night? Are you sure it was filling enough to last without breakfast?" Momoka prompted.

 

[DaughterofShadows]

"I ate food. And yes it was enough to fill me now can you please eat breakfast so we can go on?"

 

[GirlyTurtle]

"Wow, so descriptive. That helps so much." Momoka rolled her eyes. "I'll get the eggs going." She cracked some eggs and started frying them. In a toaster, she started making toast.

 

[PyroHunter16]

Haruto simply sighed as he let Toketsu form on his arm. "These runes are getting to my head..."


Staring at his frosted armament, he questioned whether or not the dream had any meaning. Toketsu was giving off a strange aura, it almost felt like a living presence. Was that dream right? Are these weapons more than just weapons...?

 

[GirlyTurtle]

"I don't know, are they?" Momoka said. "You tell me. They're your weapons after all."

 

[DaughterofShadows]

Shado sits on the back of Nashiro, and bored she stares into the horizon, falling asleep slowly.

 

[PyroHunter16]

"That was rhetorical, Momoka... I'm just thinking about all this, I'll be fine." Haruto said, but he wasn't all too confident in that last part. Looking over the group, he saw Momoka cooking breakfast, Shado falling sleep with her wolf companion which he had yet to find out the name of, and the others still in their tents.


"I hope this first adventure will not be our last..." He said softly.

 

[GirlyTurtle]

Momoka smiled sadly as she thought about their upcoming fight with the dragon. It's probably gonna be really hard. Some of us might die. I really don't want that to happen. Even though we haven't known each other that long, I know I can consider these guys as my friends. Momoka broke off her train of thought when she realized that the eggs and toast were ready.


"Okay guys! For breakfast, I didn't really make much, so we could get going quickly. Just grab some toast and an egg or two, and we can get going!" Momoka served herself some breakfast and hurriedly began eating. "Ne, Haruto, where to next again? I forgot."

 

[PyroHunter16]

"You forget so easily..." Haruto got up as Toketsu faded back into its rune. "We're going to need to follow a river, which will lead us into a jungle."


After answering, Haruto got himself a serving of the eggs and toast, making a sandwich out of it before biting into it.

 

[GirlyTurtle]

Momoka nodded and finished her food. "Okay, guys! Let's get going as soon as we can!" She began packing up all of her supplies and gear.

 

[DaughterofShadows]

Shado wakes up, rubbing her eyes. Although she had minimal sleep, she had energy, and she was ready for the trip ahead.


"Are we ready to go?"
