One may think that Aqua may have learned that cold was a very dangerous thing but at the moment she was determined to save her sister from a mistake she made do to a big misunderstanding. She was a bit too late to stop her from going to a deity for help and which one Turas had gone to  Aqua had no clue, but aqua was certain she knew what Turas plans to do and hoped to stop her before it was too late.

So here the young white dragon was trudging through snow in surch of a supposed temple of crystal. Looking for the god of light in a land of snow. Aqua looked just like her mom in her true form all but her black fur covered neck and black striped wings. She was moving slower and slower as time passed yet she still could not see the temple thanks to the storm.

Aqua was never told of her mother's past or her mother's friends and did not know that Vinsue and the god of light knew one another or that they were friends.

Presently, Naota was knelt down at the main portal of the temple. It stood outside, a few feet from the door, and he was making minor adjustments to the black tourmaline that ringed the shimmering pool. After the plague of undead had managed to break through, his efforts had been more than doubled when it came to keeping up with safety. Every so often he would make minor alterations, similar to those of a practiced locksmith that knew to always change how the tumblers would be affected. No lock was constantly unbreakable. He smiled lightly to himself, thinking of one woman in particular who was the only exception to that claim. Sadly, Natsumi was no longer a deity, but even so her skills in secrets -both making and keeping them- were just as strong.

While his temple was safe from the constant blizzard, he still found himself looking out into the whipping snow. After one more change, he found himself doing just that. He felt as if something, or someone, were coming. By now he was able to feel even the slightest shift in auras since his power was rooted into the mountain itself through the crystals. Pilgrimages were a regular occurrence for Suisho no Kyuden, so it came as no surprise to him that someone was on their way.

His eyes narrowed, trying to focus through the snowfall ahead of him, and he stood up; dusting snow from his pants. Even with his heightened eyesight, the person or group was too far for him to see, so instead he closed his eyes and used his other sight. Far in the distance he sensed their aura and it took the shape of someone much larger than a human. His lips parted as his eyes opened: a dragon. They were a strong species, but he still worried for anyone travelling through such weather. Just to make sure nothing would come to them, he walked from his spot and into the blizzard.

The calm of his steps hurried into a run and then to a teleporting sprint until he was only a few yards off. His eyes widened, he recognized this dragon, or…well, he thought he had. There were a few differences, but he couldn’t help but wonder if there was some relation to Vinsue. Then again, his relationship with dragons was still limited, and he didn’t want to be unintentionally offensive. He spoke loud enough to be heard over the storm, “Hello! Do you need assistance to the temple?”

Aqua would breathe flame at her legs every know and than to keep from completely freezing stiff. She quickly learned that the snow that melted would freeze to her legs and that the ice that clanged to her some would brake of but for the most part it stayed.

Seeing a humanish form she stopped and lowered her head. She half spread her wings ready to run, not that she could but she had to atleast attempt to run before giving up if the need arises. She was expecting hostility like everyone has always shown her but instead she was asked if she needed help to a place she was actually looking for. Yet at the moment the need to get warm was making any other thought impossible.

Speech was also not working well as she attempted to speak only a few sounds actually came out. She than nodded her head in hopes he would understand. Her wings folded tight against her back as she relaxed a little.

His eyes took in the dragon, how her wings pulled ready to take off, but also the tremor that went through her. She was dangerously cold from the looks of it, and afraid. Why afraid…? Then again, people often came to his temple afraid, so why not a dragon? Or maybe it was he that was frightening her right now. Either way he was glad to see her nodding to accept his offer. He smiled, hoping that it was a comforting one as he turned to lead her. His voice raised over the winds,

“Come, you’re actually not too far!” Even so, he focused on the wind and snow that barreled around them and slowly moved his fingers at his sides as he started to walk. Soon, the winds began to die down with the motion of his fingers, until around them it was perfectly still. The blizzard still continued on, but they were left safe in their own calm bubble. The howls of the storm were more muffled, but at least he didn’t have to shout to reach her,

“Now then, that should make the short journey less terrible, don’t you think?” He smiled up at her, “Do you know the common tongue well?” His eyebrows rose in question. If necessary, and should she feel comfortable enough to allow it, he could always speak to her telepathically. Though he didn’t want to offer that unless absolutely necessary; many people were wary at the idea of someone in their heads, and he didn’t want to instill unneeded fear.

The closer they came to the temple, the more the storm lessened. That’s how it always was with Suisho no Kyuden: no dangerous weather could ever breach its grounds, he’d made certain of that when he made the temple years ago. That still didn’t mean it wasn’t cold. While in the Crystal Garden behind the temple it was perpetual spring, here at the entrance the climate was left up to the wills of the mountain top.

The large doors at the entrance were more than large enough to accommodate her entering, and he gripped one of the handles and pulled the door open; standing next to it to hold it open for her so that she could enter first. All the while he held a polite and, what he hoped was, welcoming smile.

She walked stiffly behind him glad that she had a guide and hopeing his words were true. She knew she wold not last much longer. As the aria began to calm around them ahe shook off. Snow went everywhere but atleast it was off of her. She nodded at his question as it was a better without the storm

She was still way to cold for move her mouth much less talk so she reached out with her mind to talk in his if he allowed it. "I do know the common tongue well. Both the spoken parts and the body language of the unspoken gestures"  her thoughts were slow but understandable. 

As soon as they reached the end of the storm ahe spread her wings to there full extent to catch any sun they could. A few steps in and she tripped. She simply laid there for a few seconds before moving her legs and slowly getting up. Her wings moved slightly to help her up before closing. She walked into the building and than twords the warmth.
