"My time here is up, Old Man, I bid you farewell." Andy gave a salute before turning something on his glove to bend time and space, disappearing from their sight. "Who is he old man? A friend of yours?" questioned Lumen in the midst of testing the small device on his neck. "A would be friend whom rescused me in the past. He's none other than the "Time Traveler" due to his equipment." answered the old man while stroking his beard. Despite staying over the old man's house, danger looms over the unexpected.

A knight wearing the skin of his enemy stares in the distance. His helmet on hand, bow over his shoulder while his quiver over his left. He was unwavered at the sight of the moonlight, yet he cannot ask himself why such ideals were never meant to be opposed against. "Sir, we have movements from the mountain range. Should we make our move and slay the Aragami?" One of the soldiers moved up and spoke towards the leader. "Wait for their movement... We shall strike when the time is right. I'd wish to see something interesting before we engage." his reply made a few soldiers worry.

The rustling sound of footsteps on snow has made the three's journey feel uncomfortable. The sound of the blizzard coming at their faces were harsh as Lumen's shield didn't do much against the cold. The sound of crunching snow beneath them didn't help either. "How long have we traveled? 'Tis feels like an hour." asked Pasca, as her voice manages to sound out the cold wind. "Maybe 5 hours have passed as we travel through this damned winter..." complained Lumen as he tries to resist the cold against him. His shield is already showing signs of cracks the longer he holds it.

Setting themselves inside a cave, Ra-Jin calls for guard duty and stands outside as Pasca watches Lumen shines his shield. "Lu, have thou ever felt the warmth of someone caring for thee?" questioned Pasca as she moves closer to Lumen. Without even begging to question Pasca's motives, Lumen continues to apply a coat of metallic substance over his shield. "Doth thou need something to that hath warmth?" She crawled closer towards him, hopefully sharing her warmth with him.

Night fell as both Lumen and Pasca were sitting beside together even though Lumen partially accepted her staying beside him. Ra-Jin on the other hand, stared left and right before taking a peek inside the cave they camped. The sight of both Lumen and Pasca somewhat relieved him as they're like brother and sister to him. However, as soon as he turns around to check the surroundings, he felt two arrows piercing his arm and leg, immobilizing him deep into the snow.

The attack begins...
