"We can't cry, you know." Happy said. "We can smile, kind of, and laugh. We can look angry too, but I prefer to show emotion that make me feel good or others. But I can't cry, and I wish so much I could cry right now. Even if the tears burned me I wouldn't care. All I have is this feeling in a chest I don't have and I can't let it out." Bliss dropped his head, but Venti turned around to hide her face as tears of her own rolled down her cheeks, unable to control it and feeling guilty because of it.

Yuki powered get head for a moment before stepping up to the skull dragon, "You can still hug. Sometimes that helps to." She said, holding her arms out.

Happy fell into Yuki's arms, hugging her tightly, her bones not the most comfortable thing to press against. Her bones were also the only thing that showed how sad she was as they shivered to Yuki's touch.

Yuki hugged her tightly back, ignoring the boney feel as best as she could, figuring this was the least age could do. She waited for Happy to get it all out before she'd let go.

"Thanks." Happy said. "I... I guess we better get going." She looked at the cave one last time. "It was still a life, you know? No matter how small it was, we still lived." She started for the entrance that led back out into the world.

Yuki remained quite, following a pave behind and looking to Bliss, a sad expression across her face. She wanted to perk up but it felt like she should be sad for the time being.

Bliss show Yuki and walked closer to her, the only comfort he could thought of right then. Venti followed next to them and Lance behind. "It's quite a way to the portal." Happy said. "And it's not a safe road. You should keep your spear ready." She told Lance and he made sure the spear was ready where it sat in the fold of his wing.

Yuki felt a chill run down her back as she remembered how dangerous it was outside. She stuck closer to Bliss, almost touching him, as she sought some protection from the dangers they'd face.

Bliss tensed up a bit, feeling how close Yuki was to him. He hoped he hoped he seemed at least a little brave to her, rather than how helpless and clumsy he felt. Happy led the group out of the cave and soon they were again walking through the depressing brown and grey landscape, dead grass and trees all around them. Lance moved up next to the group, his eyes scanning their surroundings. "Can you tell me more about the portal Happy?" Venti asked her. "How do you know about it?" "All the dragons knew about it back then." Happy told her. "The humans that left this world did so secretly from the humans that stayed, so they needed us to help them get away."

"Is there anything about the portal in the writings? And how have the undead not found it yet?" Yuki asked, getting her mind off their surroundings.

"The undead can't use it, it's inactive." Happy told her. "And it wouldn't help them much even if they could activate it. Where would they travel to?" "If it's inactive hoe are we going to use it?" Venti asked. "Magic and the dragon tear, I think."

"You'd think they'd just want to spread there evil undead-ness... everywhere." She said hesitating on the word she was making up a little.

"I suppose." Happy said. "But you heard that the only reason you could travel here was because you're a descendant from humans that were born here. Other humans can't travel here anymore and the undead will need to travel to a world with undead similar to them. If the dragon tear would even allow them to travel."

"I guess." Yuki said, most of the description going over her head. She still didn't fully understand dragon tears all that much.

"But what about you?" Venti asked. "Won't the dragon tear stop you from traveling as well?" "It... might." Happy replied. "We don't know what will happen to me. It will all depend on Yuki's feelings."

Yuki went quiet, feeling a lot depended on her now. And how she felt no less. Could it be based on anything more finicky? Even she thought it might be too much, and worried things might not go well.

"Feeling alright?" Bliss asked Yuki, noticing as she went more quiet and sullen.

"Yeah, guess the bleakness is getting to me." She feigned, "Nothing to do about it till it's all over with." She put on a brave face for now.

Bliss gave Yuki an encouraging smile. Most of the journey further into the dead forest was quiet. Lance eyes never letting up as it darted around scanning everything around them. Venti's mind wondered as she started to get a bit winded and from the boredom. After a while a small mountain came into view. Nothing like the Ridge though, this was more a landmark then anything else. The steep jagged edges didn't look climbable and it didn't seem there was much to climbed up to. It looked more like a bunch of sharp rocks grouped together than a mountain really.

"Can we even get up there?" Yuki asked, looking over the whole jagged mountainside.

"Don't worry." Happy told Yuki. "We're stopping before we get there." "Wasn't that an elven place?" Venti asked. "A long time ago." Happy answered.

"What? The mountain?" Yuki asked, examining the mountain more closely now.

"Yeah, it was kind of a secret hideout." Venti told Yuki. "Remember that I told you elves were a secretive bunch?" "They were gathering spots for them outside of their lands." Happy explained. "There used to be quite a lot of them around in the past. Then the became the homes of necromancers and wraiths. That mountain didn't always look like that."

So if this was an elven hideout, why would the portal be here?" Yuki asked.
|

Post by Bio Plus on Jan 2, 2017 13:28:16 GMT -5
"Because these were human lands." Happy told Yuki. "Not sure if elves used it before or after the humans settled here, way before my time. Also, this is only the place of the last portal the humans used. Obviously you didn't end up here when you entered our world."

"I see. So we're to somehow scale this? I'm assuming were not flying." Yuki asked.

"Unless you want to risk the skeletons spotting us, I urge that we keep walking." Lance said. "It's bad enough we have a wraith around here, but skeletons have been fighting dragons for much longer and are much more organized." "Don't worry." Happy told them. "I already said we're not going near there. We'll reach the portal before we reach the mountain."

"Oh, ok. Well, lead on." Yuki said trying to appear in higher spirits.

The group fell into silence again as they head forward. The trees grew thicker and it was hard to navigate and see around them even though the dead leaves on the trees weren't very dense. Happy slowed down and looked around every now and then. "We should be careful." She told the others. "If the wraith is still after us this would be the best place for him the strike." Lance tightened the grip on his spear.

Yuki almost pushed herself against Bliss at this point, remembering the previous encounter with the Wraith and wishing she hadn't remembered it so well.
