"Yes." Venti replied. "The world ma have looked a little better if they just left it. But the destroy go to this extend just because they hate the living." As they walked further from the entrance the first sign of life showed itself as a spider climbing through the ashen grass.

Yuki didn't know what to say. Instead, she looked back to see what Bliss was doing and why he was so quiet.

Bliss smiled back at Yuki as he kept an eye on their surroundings. He was tense and looking for any signs of trouble. "Look." Venti said seeing the spider. "A spider." She went nearer, but backed off again when she got a better look. The spider was just a husk, a living dead spider.

Yuki looked forward before backing up, "Yeah, I don't like spiders at the best of times, undead spiders is too much." She said quickly as she scurried back and hid behind Bliss.

"Yeah." Venti agreed. "Got to remember that everything is different out here. We better get going." She said and continued on. "You still holding up?" Bliss asked Yuki as the party started moving again.

Yuki made sure to put Bliss between her and the spider as they walked, "Yeah. I'm fine. I guess it's just unsettling how quiet it can be." she said, walking beside Bliss now.

"I know." Bliss replied. "I've got to admit that I'm scared. But as long as we're together we'll be fine."

"Yeah, I wish I could be strong like you or Venti sometimes." Yuki said as they walked.

"Venti is determined." Bliss told Yuki. "It comes with being a princess I guess, always putting herself before others, I just don't think she does it the way her dad wants her to." "You do realize I can hear you Bliss." Venti said a bit annoyed. "It's so quiet I can hear everything you're whispering." Bliss smiled awkwardly, but ignored her and continued talking to Yuki. "Me? I'm just trying put up a brave face."

Yuki nodded, "I guess I'm really confused. Maybe it's the human part of me, but everything out here is so different I'm kind of lost in it. Like when I first got to the ridge. If not for the threat of undead, I might actually enjoy traveling out here to see this strange new world." Yuki said and dropped her head a little, "And I'm a little conflicted for feeling that way since I know it's not supposed to be interesting or pretty."

"I see." Bliss smiled. "You shouldn't feel bad. There's something out here that reminds us of scary stories when we grew up. Even scarier than the undead. You're a Red and there's no wind here, not even a breeze. Concentrate like you did when you practiced using your breath and try to feel the lack of flowing air while doing that. You'll realize what I mean when you start to feel uneasy."

Yuki gave a nervous chuckle, "Heh, I think I'll take your word on that. No need for nightmare fuel." she said and looked to where they were headed, "But like you said, we've got each other."

ooc: That was suppose to set the mood for Yuki so she can sync better with the others. "True." Bliss answered. "But imagine if it was you who took away the wind. That's kinda how a bit of me and Venti feels."

OOC: I'm specifically letting Yuki avoid that. She might not feel the fear or unsettled feeling of the others, but she's afraid of the feeling all the same. She'd rather not make the place feel bleaker and darker then it already does, at least that's how I'm trying to play her.
BIC: "But you didn't. The undead took that away along with most of the world. The dragons can't be blamed for that." Yuki said, trying to comfort him.

"You're right." It was Venti who answered her. "We're not to blame for this. But it's a reflection of the stories we learned from our past. We could have done this. Not the undead part, but destroyed this place, left it lifeless. But it's a lot of what ifs. What if we did that instead of this. But we didn't. We did choose a better path. Still, it gives us pause knowing that. Why don't we just wipe the undead from the land? We could do that, we're more powerful than they are, and the land would return to normal faster. But would that be the right thing to do? And what will it do to us? So we leave them to disappear in their own time, as long as they don't spread their destruction any further. But we also give them time to find a way to destroy us. So yeah. Being out here, seeing this for the first time. It makes you think." Before anyone could speak again there was a rustling in the grass and a cloud of grey from where it came that made Bliss tense up.

Yuki froze, feeling she'd jumped right out of her scales and trying her best not to move. She almost felt nauseous at the sudden scare, and it held as she waited in shocked anticipation.

The grey dust fell back down, forming new grass where it must have been disturbed. "There's something out there." Bliss whispered. "Venti, get over here." He told her and as she snapped out of her stunned silence and quickly moved back to Yuki and Bliss.

Yuki slowly slinked down making herself smaller and smaller, not moving a step but trying to be a small and quiet as could be.

They waited for a while, but nothing further happened. "Is it gone?" Venti finally asked.

Yuki nearly jumped out of her skin when Venti spoke and felt like her heart was about to explode. As though instinctively, she hopped back and tried to open her wings to take off. The weight of the water reminded them that they should avoid flying though, and she was able to hold herself for a moment longer. In tall this she remained silent.

"I think we better get moving." Bliss said. "We're too much in the open here. Let's keep our ears open though and be on our guard." Venti nodded.

"But... we don't have..." Yuki started but stopped when she realized how silly it was. Instead she simply nodded with Venti, "Alright."

They didn't hear another peep as they continued deeper into the forest. Venti almost started to relax again when they saw a white object lying in the middle of their path. The white of the object contrasted the pale bleak surroundings. Venti and Bliss stopped to stare at the object before Venti gave a step forward and Bliss grabbed her by the shoulder. "What are you doing?" He asked. "I want to see what it is." Venti answered.

"And here I thought I was the human here." Yuki said, "You don't seem walking up to that thing." She added, though inside she secretly wanted to continue watching it. It's bright light was almost as beautiful against the bleak landscape as it was hard to look at.

"We are here to find stuff out right?" Venti said rolling her eyes at the two. "It may give us some kind of clue." Bliss took a deep breath. "Okay, how about I go over to check it out and the two of you stay here?" "You don't have to do that." Venti replied. "The two of you can watch my back." "Id feel much better if I'm the one going." Bliss said.

Yuki took a deep breath before walking around the two and up to the light. She figured they had more to lose then her and didn't want them to start arguing over it.

ooc: Just note that I never said it was a light or shining, just that it is so purely white in contrast to the bleak surroundings that it stood out. Venti and Bliss rushed over to her sides. "What are you doing?" Bliss asked surprised. "Yeah, at least tell us if you're going to walked over there." Venti reprimanded her. When Yuki got close she could see that the white object was a pure white bone. "A bone." Bliss said out loud what they saw Venti however recognized more about it. "That's a dragon's rib bone." She said and took a step back.

OOC: I know, but if something is a clean and plain a white as your describing, one might perceive it as having a shine to it.
BIC: "But it's floating." Yuki said, and tried to step forward again, "It could be one of the skull dragons, right?"

ooc: I never said it was floating either. Also, just to clarify Venti's reaction, if I found the rib bone of another human I'd be pretty freaked out as well. "Maybe, but then where's the rest of it?" Venti asked and Bliss held Yuki back. Suddenly they heard loud giggling near them, but it was hard to say in which direction it came from.

OOC: I wouldn't... I'm really weird though. And I guess I was confused because you said it was laying in the middle of the path and we hadn't exactly moved forward so my brain made up that it approached us. Yuki is presently approaching things with reckless aband right now, so illogicality should be penned on that. I'm going to pull back to normality soon though. BIC: "Nope." Yuki said and slinked back and curled up behind Bliss, "I don't mess with spirits, I've seen too many horror movies for that."
