Cold to the Bone

[Lily Aiko]

The wind blew around Lily strongly as she wandered into the ruins of Aesir on a somewhat cloudy day. It didn't look like the lingering, puffy clouds were a threat to the weather, but then, she did have a poor judgment on weather. She looked around at all the broken walls, splinters and chunks of wood and for a second, she actually thought she saw a human bone. She shuddered, blocking the possibilities about what could have happened here from her head, not wanting to imagine anyone's death, let alone, a city's downfall.

She sighed, wishing she was from around here, or at least was taught more about other kingdoms instead of being so sheltered that way she could at least of some background knowledge of this place instead of moving here and being oblivious. She frowned, looking down at her feet and the poor shes that covered them. Surprisingly, they were more comfortable than the fancy and expensive shoes she grew up wearing. A gust of cold wind blew, causing Lily's head to snap up. She shivered and hugged herself, walking to a wall and sitting against it. The wall sort of blocked the wind, but it was still a cold day.

Her blonde and black hair was falling out of her once semi-neat ponytail, so she let it down, letting it frame her petite face and fall to her mid-back. She flipped her white hood up in attempt to warm her face a little. She frowned at herself, wishing she had listened to the mature side of her and staying indoors on the unusual chilly day. Her blue eyes wondered the place, ignoring the human bone that was dead in front of her.

[Horu]

Aesir The great tomb of a once glorious people. People that loved magic. Too bad they where all dead or maybe they could block out this wretched wind. Those where the thoughts of the Dragon in disguise. He tried to form an aura of heat around him but the wind seemed to pierce even his magic.

So with his arms crossed and his elegant red cloak flapping in the wind he found himself a ruined building to hide in Or at least what was left of it. in an opposite corner of the broken structure was a Girl who was facing away from him. Maybe he should use her a fuel for a bonfire. No he was feeling lazy at the moment. Instead he Snapped up a dried sapling from the road and then he walked over and grabbed the femur bone that was sticking out from between some stone blocks. He placed them all in a pile and sto a small ball of flame into them igniting the dry fuel. He looked to the girl who he assumed would have noticed him by now. "Hello there, unusually cold weather we got here eh?"

Lily heard the footsteps of someone, and she turned her head. It was a man, somewhat familiar, and she gave a greeting smile, but it's warmth seemed to be penetrated by the cold. "Heh, it is. Just yesterday it was hot outside, and now this?" she said, holding a hand in the air. She looked at him, and saw he was pulling the bone up to make the fire, and she frowned a bit. She was somewhat happy the bone wasn't in sight since it had been bothering her, but she was also a bit sorry for whoever the bone once was. Even though they were dead, she still felt as if they'd be sad to know they ended up being burned in a bonfire.

She looked at the man again, and recognized him this time. "Hey' I've met you at the lake once before. Hello again." she said, getting up and hugging herself for warmth before heading toward the fire. A gust of wind blew and it almost lifted Lily off her feet, and she scowled silently, wishing she weighed more, at least, more than her 96 pounds. She came near the fire and let a small smile out at the dull warmth it gave. Something was better than nothing, right?
