[He turns toward the voice echoing down the hall when he hears it and immediately takes stock of where he is in relation to it. The cybernetic implant over his left eye fortunately offers night vision as a feature, and he zeros in on the door right away. After a moment, he's ducking out of it.]

Ashura!

[He looks up and down the hallway frantically.]

[fluorite_flux]

[His shoulders relax in relief.]

To be honest, I cannot say. This world is a strange one and we are all at its whims. That aside, are you all right? Were you hurt when you landed?

[fluorite_flux]

Mm, I appear to be mostly in one piece.

[Glances around, not really certain what to do now. The last time he'd been here, he had been fighting scorpions after all.]

For now, we should stick close to each other. It seems we're having a little adventure now whether we choose to or not.

[fluorite_flux]

There is, for certain. We will find it together.

[Puts his hand on Ashura's back for reassurance as he guides him and gives him a smile.]

[Meanwhile, behind them, an ominous cold starts to seep in, putting out the buring chair with a layer of ice …]

[fluorite_flux]

It is rather dark, isn't it …

[Realizing the child can't see as well as he can, he reaches up and presses some buttons on the implant on his wrist and a small light flicks on, casting a beam in front of them.]

That's better.

[Doesn't notice the cold much, because there's something insideously familiar about it …]

[fluorite_flux]

It was my costume, actually. It has some unusual features to it.

[Looks sheepish.]

[All the while, the cold creeps in closer, more oppressively, and shadows begin to gather into a tall, imposing figure.]

[fluorite_flux]

[Stops and looks down at Ashura, concerned.]

What is it?

[fluorite_flux]

[Turns as well and blinks in surprise at the huge shadow.]

[He throws out a hand to Ashura.]

Stay back.
