[ THE MASK OF ICE: THE RECRUIT ]
[With Christmas and Silver's birthday out of the way, Paul followed up on his word to Ash and immediately set off on his own to track down the Mask of Ice, almost certain that the old man hadn't left the island and that he would most likely be in the Seven Lakes area of Awesome Island. He left a note for his family and loved ones, saying he was merely going out to train extensively for his match with Red. No need to worry any of them with his affairs, after all.
Paul's marching through the snow, seemingly stiffer and sterner than he usually is. Of course, for the whole journey, he had been wearing the half-mask given to him by Chermaine. Unwilling to wait for Pryce to show his face again, Paul decided to take matters into his own hands. He seems almost inhuman at this point to endure a blizzard up in the dangerous mountains so effortlessly. It's simply his determination to achieve his goal: join the Mask of Ice under false pretenses in order to destroy them from within.
No, he had not told anyone about his sudden change of plans. Paul had been wearing the mask for a while now, trying his best to adjust to its influence. As a result, Paul didn't feel quite as sharp-minded as he usually was, but the determination was enough to constantly remind Paul why he was going all this way so far from the CMA, and why he was tormenting himself with the mask to begin with.]
