somebodeh I used to know~

"......There must be another clue......"Muttered Neo as he walked through the snow, he marched through the blizzard his glasses fogged up as the snow nearly blinded him. His glasses nearly cracked and shattered due to the intense frozen temperatures. Neo pressed on and finally made it to a small village.

It was incredibly unusual for the huntress to leave the confinement of her home. After all, her last resurrection had left her a bit... unstable. Even so, Maria believed she could control her current state of mind and so she had put it upon herself to explore her kingdom further. Where? The Frozen Islands. To say why she had planned to venture there, she had no clue but she had a feeling that there was something out there that would prove useful. Or at least she hoped her intuition was right.

Bundled up and ready for the ungodly temperatures of the island, Maria had grabbed her supplies and set off to the Island through the fastest means possible -through the use of portals. As soon as her feet touched the soft snow, she began to trek north bound out of pure instinct. After several miles of walking, the huntress stopped short and adjusted her snow goggles a bit as to see clearer through the falling snow.

Maria raised an eyebrow at the scene before her.  Just a few miles ahead, lay a small, concealed villiage in the midst of all the snow and mountains. The village seemed confined as well as excluded from the rest of the Forgotten Isles, but it had a comfortable feel to it. Maria continued onwards towards the place. It was not very long before she reached the village. Glancing around, she saw children running through the frozen wonderlands and the people of the area laughing contently between themselves.

Maria continued to wander through the streets until a a sense of unease befell her. She stopped in the middle of the street and scanned her surroundings. Her icy blue eyes caught nothing out of the ordinary yet she did not lower her gaurd. It wasn't until she noticed a young man with cracked glasses. Walking towards him she gave him a smile and words of greetings. "Hello..." she said, her breath turning into what appeared swirls of smoke. "Are you from around here..?" she asked although she knew different. This man had caught her attention. Why?

Neo narrowed his eyes, and let out a sigh, he adjusted his glasses and confronted the woman. His white cloak waving in the breeze. He went through his bag and pulled out a bottle filled with a red liquid. Neo quickly drank it all, and put the empty bottle back in his bag.

"No. I'm not." said Neo with a calm unemotional expression, he then turned around and began walking towards the village, he quickly entered the local inn.

"Do you have a spare room I can rent?" inquired Neo. The in keep shook his head, Neo sighed and left the inn. He then marched though the snow and out of the village. His face calm and unfraid of the storm He turned to Maria and waved. He then faced the darken path and walked up the snowy mountain.

The man simply dismissed her after telling her that he was new as well and continuing on his way. Maria sighed. Well, this was turning to be quite uneventful. She sighed as she took off her hood thus letting the cold, winter breeze to blow her golden hair out and about. That simple gesture seemed to bring the village to a stop. The villagers stopped their things and stared at her with fearful, expectant eyes as they watched her every move. The huntress grinned darkly at them and resumed her wandering through the streets. So they did recognize her, Maria thought to herself. This villiage was not entirely kept in the dark then. After a long quiet moment, the people resumed their everyday things leaving Maria to her thoughts. Not much after the happenings did she see the black haired man agains. He reappeared from what appeared to be an inn and waved. With nothing better to do, she made his way towards him. "If you don't mind, I would like to accompany you." she said simply. Hopefully he would not object. What else had she to do anyways then to return to her island and hunt?
