Shounen yo jashin wo Idake...

Young man, embrace your wicked heart.
Endless Night: Pt 2: Chpt 16A: Grey Trail
Grey quickly ducked and sidestepped a second before she released the arrow. He drew his sword, used his hands to pull back her arms and held the blade under her neck. She tensed but kept a firm appearance. "You keep face even under the threat of death. Impressive for an ice maiden.", he said.

"A compliment from an enemy? You must be trying to flirt me to death.", she snapped.

"Me? Flirt in the middle of battle? I'd never. However...I will kill you if you try to stopp me on my mission."

"Your mission? That wouldn't be to retrieve the damned crystal in there is it?"

"So it is in there?"

"Yes...and it has tormented my kind for almost a lifetime now. all they can think about is greed violence and murder...like your kind."

"I'm sorry to hear that...but my mission isn't to retrieve it, I'm here to destroy it."

"Destroy it?" She looked confuse. "You aren't here to send it back to your master like I've heard from afar?"

"No. I'm one of the people who are preventing them from achieving such a thing. Although...we've failed countless times."

"...I see."

They both looked in a different direction from each other, then Grey left for the crater in the center of the plateau. "It was nice meeting you, Ice Maiden.", he said before he left, leaving her on the frosted edge of the plateau. He stood on the edge of the large crater. It was actually more like a hole that was carved into a mountainside and the earth than a big hole in the ground. Then he heard crunching footsteps behind him. He turned drawing his sword, and saw the Ice Maiden trailing up behind him. "Sorry, but I didn't get your name!", she said panting. All that?, he thought. just for my name? "Grey, at your service.", he said outstretching his hand.

"Iris Frostwyrm.", she took his hand shaking it. "No last name?"

"Unfortunately not...I was orphaned at a young age."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."

To his amazement, she actually looked sad to hear that!

"Well," she started. "Even though this was your mission decided from the start. Would you allow me to accompany you on this journey?"

Grey couldn't decide what he was feeling more of: astonishment, amazement, or aback.

"Um, sure."
