"Kana!" I called to the girl in the distance. What was going on this time?
I began running to try and catch up to her, before I tripped over a tree root reaching out of the ground and landed flat on my face in a puddle of mud. Fun. Fun indeed.
Kana and I, both of the age of 14, were the youngest of the organization, and I always enjoyed hanging around with her.
 
Shikana heard her name, and the voice was none to familiar, followed by a loud splat.

"What a klutz...as always~" Kana giggled for a moment, clearing her throat as she swerved around, jumping towards where she had heard her name being called. There was a figure lying straight on the puddle of mud. The girl tilted her head for a moment, her posture obviously choosing whether to help him or not. Sincerity won, as she finally sighed reluctantly, bending over to the boy.

"Still falling on mud, hmm Askan?" She giggled, lending a hand.
 
"I'm a traveler whom goes by the name Kaname..." Kaname said, tilting her head. "No fear, I wont hurt you. Is anyone else with you?"
Kaname took a big step closer to the boy, now positive he was no threat to her. There were still more people in the forest, she could sense it. But who were they?
 
"a long distance shot.. either someone has really good aim, or they never intended it." I said, moving away, preparing to return to the caverns. It had been a false alarm, there was nothing out here I needed to worry about.
 
"If you do not mind my asking, where do you live, child?" I asked, not turning to face her as she started off. It seemed that she couldn't control her ability to freeze things, perhaps I could help, though ice was not my element.
 
"anywhere that accepts me for even a moment." I said, my pace not slowing. Nobody really cared. I was alone, and I was going to stay that way for as long as this world existed.
 
Kana stared at him skeptically, frowning at her hand smudged with mud. She wiped it hastily, before sighing.

"I think my wand is being manipulative by false alarms...because I could have sworn I suspected some other DMS members here...hm. False alarm- definitely," she laughed, eyeing Askan.

"And what were you up to, my oh-so-un-klutzy-friend?" She asked mischievously. "Aside from falling into more mud, that is. Have you found or discovered anything new? Because I'm bad at being a look-out," Shikana recalled, not remembering a single time where she had actually done something for the past few days. The yhad to be here somewhere though...just not now?
 
"I'm not familiar with ice-magic, but I can tell that you seem to have difficulty controlling your power." I said, absently tapping the frost covering a nearby tree to make a point. "I don't know if I can, but I would try to help you, with permission." I finished. I already knew much from being with this child. She had been hurt, hurt beyond what any person should have to bear. Her demeanor showed that as clearly as the light of day.
 
"Simply leave me be." I said, moving on. My caverns were a long ways from here, made longer from the fact that it was darker then when I had set out. Almost too dark for me to see. Not that it mattered, it would be a long time before the sky was as dark as my heart had become.
 
"At least take this to light your path, child." I said, summoning an orb of light with a tracking spell attached. It would fade in about an hour, but would follow her, illuminating a wide area around her until then, or until it was struck by an attack with magic.
 
I sighed lightly, and paused long enough to say "it's easier to not get killed if no one can see me. Your consern is appreciated- not to mention astonishing- but i hardly need it."
 
I stooped down behind a stack of boxs and watched the two speak, they were young, a bit younger than me. They could be easy to take out. I readyed my fan, for the past 3 months I had been picking off random members of each orginasation, hostile or not. I shifted my weight as I kneeled down, but knocked over a box instead, beeing forsed to revile myself.
 
"Very well child." I said, ending the magical light without any outward sign of coing so. I couldn't force her, that would only harm her further. I sighed. It pained me to see young people, children even bearing such burdens.
 
My flight took me over various sights, few of any great intrest. I landed softly in a convieniently placed forest. Sortly thereafter, Ishalla fluttered down beside me, landing on the arm I offered. It was then I realized my mistake. I'd landed too far insie the treeline. I was lost. Maybe one of those folks I'd seen neaby was within earshot. I'd hoped to keep my presence a secret for now, bu apparently I had no choice. **** it all. I called "Hello! Can anyone hear me!?"
 
I took off, using what little moonlight there was to see. Though I wasn't heading back to the caverns. i had heard someone else's voice. and despite my opinion, I would not ignore a call for help, ever. After what seemed like an hour, i came to a clearing, and stopped as I saw a man with a hawk on him, though I said nothing.
 
"Excuse me, miss" I said, a smile on my face. "do you know your way around here? I seem to have gotten lost."
 
"it depends. Just where do you wish to be? Besides, you will not be getting anywhere till daylight." I said calmly, keeping to an icy cold tone. It wasn't often that someone got lost in here, but either way, he could be dangerous, and I had to be careful. Though just from first looks he seemed like a trustworthy guy, though I had learned the hard way that looks wern't everything.
