Welcome to Gaia! ::

>>A purple smudge amongst the ground is what annie had become as she ran to the mountains...and then her trail stop dead. She gave a sort of distressed cry while sitting down, ears going flat. They weren't supposed to be here<< >>Dripping wet from entering the river, sayuri shortly stopped behind Annie, her breath only slightly hitched. She reached out and patted the shikigami<< Don't worry...it's a mission.

::Rocky, mountanous and freaking cold. Enkei's skin immediately rose with goose-bumps from the frigid climate of the North. As he began to climb rock after rock in pursuit of Sayuri, following the purple Shikigami up the mountain until it too dissapeared. With a sigh, he stood with his hands upon his hips, on a rather large boulder overlooking the begginings of the Northern Lands and the rather large Mountains, which faced Enkei's back, turning back to the mountains then back to the other group of Shinigami he smirked, a huge billow of his recently exhaled air visible in front of the Shinigami as he sighed.::

Well then shall we climb?

Fisher drifted up the rocks and as he got higher the air got colder and became biting with frost. He shivered and the few feathers which covered his back and shoulders fluffed up a little. He was an odd looking shinigami, all that remained of his once stunning blue wings were large feathers which jutted out from his shoulders. The grey skies started to grow white as snowflakes bagan to twirl down from the sky.
'it just gets even better' he said aloud as he bagan to gain a thin coating of snow.

Annie, rise. >>Another sharp command. Sayuri would be a harsh leader if she ever obtained that status<< >>slowly she stood up on all four paws, not trembling, but her heart filled with unease. They were not supposed to be here!<< Follow. >>Even in the cold mountains, her tone of voice was even colder. She normally didn't like to be so ruthless with annie, but the other was afraid. Her shikigami NEEDED her to be the cruel demon she was<< >>After a moment, the shikigami took a slow breath and continued her search for the aura<<

((Dima's pretty~))

Yue sighed, "Then climbing it shall be." The cloak raised itself to wrap around his face.

Carefully cover his hands with his cloak, the man jammed his hand into a hole. Somehow his feet found footholds as the grueling task of climbing began.

This day was just getting better and better...

((Dima's gorgeous knocked the thoughts outta me gonk ))

Efrain just blinked, he hated work... he hated exertion... and this cold nipping at him... "You can climb, but..." He still hated exertion, but he had an advantage. Lowering himself to the ground, Efrain began to unwind the chain around his gloved hand. He had seen a movie once with a guy in brown and a fedora... the whip gave him many ideas. He just needed to snag some ledges and pull, course if he was still insubstantial... he'd of just floated up... or he could have learned some useful tricks instead of lazing about.

When he was finished, he took a few preperatory swings before lashing the crossed sharp end towards fissures. It took him a couple tries and a few sidesteps from falling chain and debri, but he managed to get a good snag... Course, I'd of need a longer chain if I wanted to scale the whole @#%! thing, Efrain thought to himself.

Yue jerked away when a chain suddenly flew up and snagged into a crack next to him. For several moments, he hung precariously by one hand.

After a few desperate attempts, he managed to regain his hold. He did not want to see if someone can die twice. Or how much it'd hurt when he landed on the ground.

Craning his neck, Yue shouted below him, "Watch where you're swinging that thing! What if you accidentally hit someone?!" It didn't matter that his mouth was covered, his voice was loud and unmuffled.

Obviously someone was spending a wee bit too much time in the mortal realm. Especially in the area that he presided over.

Yue muttered darkly about rude Americans and how he preferred his own native Japanese.

Reaching into a flat surface, Yue pulled himself onto a ledge. It seemed to be an opening into a cave. He figured that he would pause there and rest a bit...

(( xd Don't shoot me, I'm an American myself... so... xd ))
