The coat remained rightly wrapped around herself as she stopped and moved next to a stump. She let a small beam of electricity hit the ice and watched as the energy wrapped itself around the cold substance and then the ice broke. The stump was abnormally large but it was good enough to sit more than one person which was good. She looked up, some snow flakes falling against her hair. She turned to look at Aleera who was moving to sit next to her. She ran a few thoughts in her head and shut her eyes for a moment, her body already getting used to the cold of this place. She knew her friend felt the same forbodding feeling as she did. It was something that had been stirred a few weeks ago and seemed to be growing with each day.

"This is place is very homey, isnt it?" She was being sarcastic as she moved to sit next to Sorina. Her eyes straying across the field. If it werent too cold it would actually be a very beautiful sight. Almost like a winter wonderland and entire forest that could be used as a skating ring. "I'm sure Dante would feel at home here. He can burn just about everything into a tolerable temperature." She turned her head and looked at Sorina. "I hope we find the cause of this disruption. Everything seems to be withering at such a fast pace, and even the trees feel the pain that others have felt across the ocean."

Her head turned and eyes opened to stare at Aleera. Asoft nod of the head, to indicate her agreement. Se may not be as intuned to nature as her friend but she could sense something greater at work. Not great with positive change. But great in negative energy and intent. It was probably something that they all felt. After all they were immortals, probably as old as the earth was and after living as long as they all had there had to be some type of connection with all aspects of the world. "I know, Aleera, I've felt it as well. Across the ocean something horrible is occuring. And no one need say a word, I can feel a chill in my bones. A horrible ominous feeling. It seems our entry in this forest is almost showing us the coldness and hopelessness others are feeling at the moment. Although, I'm sure you understand that more than anyone since your life is directly linked to the Earth, and probably all creatures since it was your care and your ability to nurture that help spring forth so many creatures."

A shadow passed through her features. Her head quickly looked down, while her feet kicked at the snow on the ground. It was true, she had a special link to the Earth, something no one but her would understand. It was something that was second nature to her. To feel everything and she'd felt this darkness for awhile now, but she never verbalized it. "It's a plague, Sorina..." She said softly. She knew what it was, it was a plague that was ravaging across the land. But something os such strength that it was actually causing the Earth to feel its power. She placed an arm over her shoulder and rubbed it softly. Her body ached, every inch of it. The pain was becoming more excrutiating with each passing day, but she refused to tell Dante. She knew he'd be angry, but she didnt want to worry him. There was a truth to her that no one knew but her.

"It explains a lot then....I've been hearing that people from Lyathen have been rushing towards the towns in this side of the world. And that even more people from the provinces of Frezain and Vistel are crossing as well." She sighed softly. "What would cause something so destructive to happen now? This is awful....so many lifeforms...their auras are fading. And I can sense them all." She frowned and bent down to pick up a frozen flower in her the palm of her hand, her head turning to look at Aleera for a moment as she rubbed her shoulder. She'd notice some changes in Aleera's state for the two weeks or so. She wasnt as vibrant and full of lie as before. Infact, she barely saw her friend go out and tend to the trees and the plants as she did in the past. "What's going on, Aleera?"

"Nothing is going on, Sorina.." There was a laugh that accompanied the statement but it sounded so feeble and unconvincing. Should she confide in her closest friend or suffer from this by herself? She sighed. If she told Sorina it was only fair she told Dante, but once again she didnt want anyone to worry about. "Everything is fine.." She gave a nod, she was willing to deal with this on her own. And in some ways this is the way it should have been. She would suffer the same fate as her children and it was only fair. As a mother not only to life created by herself and Dante, but also to life that everyone else needed in order to survive, she felt as strongly for everyone as she did for her own children. The fact was that everyone was her children in some form or another. And it pained her greatly to feel all the suffering.

"Dont give me that, Aleera." She said sharply. "I'm not stupid nor ignorant to whats been happening to you. I've seen your change in the last few weeks, and I'm almost certain so has Dante and Oliron and Zane and probably even Kaya has felt it whereever she is, hell I bet we've ALL felt it." Her eyes rested on Aleera. "So do me a favor and just tell me what's going on. As a matter of fact do the same with your husband as least." She sighed and then turned. It was not a pleasant thought to know someone you considered a sister was suffering from something by herself, something that might be life-threatening and you're ignorant to it all.

"I know you're not stupid or ignorant. But I'm fine, really it's just something you're too much into, you and everyone else." She gave a firm nod. And looked in front of her, at the rows of trees. It was amazing that everything in this forest could remain frozen all year round. No matter what the weather everything in this forest would remain constant. It was one of the wonders of the world. She smiled, it was something she marveled at when it first occured. This was...the first forest she helped cultivate and unexplicably ice formed around the area and turned into something so rare and beautiful. And she could say she saw the transformation first-hand.

She just sighed and shook her head. Why was she being so hardheaded? It was actually quite surprising since she was always the 'feelings' person, telling everyone to speak about what was bothering them and here she was keeping who knew what from everyone. "I wont leave at this. And I'm going to keep pestering you about this until I get a sufficient enough answer. And if I have to bring Dante here to help me get you to speak, I will do it." She eyed her seriously. Somethings were meant to be pushed and this was one of them. "So am I going to have to bring Dante here or are you going to tell me?"

"You wouldnt..." Her eyes narrowed. She knew Sorina had a little temper but she wouldnt actually make that trek to get Dante because she didnt want to talk. "I'm fine, how many times do I have to say it!" She was getting angrier now. Why couldnt she just leave it at that. She didnt want to tell her or anyone else. It was her fate to suffer and no one else should be involved. "Just leave it at that, Sorina. It doesnt matter. I'm fine, and if I werent I'll be fine." She felt an ache run up along her arm again, and she had to clench her teeth, and hoped that Sorina hadnt noticed the action. "Can we change the subject now?"

"Stop acting like everything is fine with you. It's not and fine, you dont wish to tell me. Excuse me while I go find and bring Dante." A surge of blue electric energy passed over her arm. She was angry and it didnt help that Aleera was angry as well. "Stay here, I'll be back in 30 seconds." There was a determination in her face as a 'crack' sounded off in the air and she disappeared. She was going to fine Dante and she was going to find out what exactly was going on right now. And just as she promised 30 minutes later she re-appeared right in the same spot she had been at before. She crossed her arms and her legs and waited patiently.

Her eyes widened when she saw that Sorina had disappeared like she had. She really hadnt gone to find Dante, had she? No of course not, it would take quite a bit of time to even find him. She sighed and then jumped slightly when Sorina had re-appeared just as quickly as she had gone. But there was no sign of Dante. So she was left with two conclusions either he wasnt found or he was taking his sweet time. "You didnt find him, did you?" She was hoping for the former. She really didnt want to verbalize this, even know that her body was seering in pain, but she refused to show it. She was a trooper and this was nothing.

There was a crackle that sounded like wood burning and a spire of flames shot from the ground and he ran a hand through his hair, a trail of flames following him, and he looked to Sorina and Aleera and then just to Aleera and grabed them both."Best back up, the boy's abilities are a bit faulty, not sure why, but perhaps you might understand." He moved about fifty feet and just waited.

The ground rumbled and several thorned vines whipped out from the ground and fire shot in several directions wildly, and Zaneros stumbled forward and shook his head free from flames and shivered."What in the...where are we?!" He walked towards them and just grabbed the cloak from his father and put it on."I need it more than you do, you can make fire after all."

She looked at Dante and then stood and followed him, finally the man appeared. And she knew he would probably be followed by Zane, since he had been there. She waited for Zane's entrance and several moments later the boy appeared and she shook her head. "Yes, he's definately a creation from the both of you." There was a smug smile on her face, but she hoped Zane was alright. She knew how much some entrances could take out of a person. She turned to Aleera giving her an 'I told you I would do it' type of look.
