Allen arrives [Northern Outpost]

Mar 23, 2008 22:05

It was cold. It was not the discomforting chill that could be driven away by pulling the covers tighter. No, Allen recognized it as the dangerous kind of drop in temperature that made it hazardous to fall asleep in. He didn't bother with what he'd just been doing before now, he was too busy scrambling to his feet. He risked opening his eyes and stared at the snow that crunched under his boots, as he stumbled forward a few steps.

His mind raced, his thoughts of the Akuma that had been about to strike him. A level four, and the soul... He felt his stomach churn as grief threatened to overwhelm him. Or rather it would have if something didn't butt into his side. "Its not your fault, you can't be everywhere at once." He blinked at the soft female voice and looked over before he froze. "W-who are you?" Last he checked, tigers didn't talk.

Then again he'd seen a lot of weird things in his lifetime. It was a wonder he hadn't become as jaded as his master. "Artemidoris, I am your Daemon." The tiger breathed as she pressed into his side and he nearly stumbled again. "We need to find shelter, or we'll freeze." She had a point he couldn't deny, and he never was one for dwelling on things he couldn't change.

He'd find a way back, but for now... "Where are we?" He whispered quietly, one hand resting on the strange new companion that felt like he'd known her forever. "I don't know, but we'll find out. We have too."
