"You can let go now .." she looked up at him and blushed .. he then landed on the top of the mountain and let her walk on her feet .. "Wow this place is more warmer than it looks like .." she held her hand up in the air feeling the warmth of the blowing air in her palms .. "Yeah it looks like it .." Theo then crouched to the lump of snow and brushed off its top "Is this a plant ..?" he took out a blue freezing rose 'Yes .. and it's rarity is despicable .. it's called the Frozen Rose worth - 120 pecuniary' Theo then turned to look at Rose who was 'frozen' back in the blizzard and chuckled .. when she heard him chuckling she went up and crouched beside him looking at the rose that was 'frozen' .. "So what's this rare plant called ..?" he looked at her with blushed cheeks and teary eyes .. 'Is he crying ..?' she thought with her eyebrows raised .. "It's called Frozen Rose .." he then rolled on the snow whilst he laughed his lungs out .. now that she heard the joke and found its meaning .. her cheeks burnt with redness .. and she pouted at him .. "Is that how you make your jokes ?? make jokes about a lady?" he couldn't stop laughing .. and he was starting to grasp for his shirt .. "I can't breathe .. I can't breathe .. hahaha " he shouted mockingly as he laughed ..
"Ah , that was a good laugh .." he wiped off a tear on his right eye .. and stood up walking up to her .. "Sorry .. I couldn't help but laugh .. I mean it was a Frozen Rose .. ey .. yeah hey .. okay here's the deal .. would you forgive me if I gave you this rose .." he handed out the frozen to her .. when she saw him extending his hand she shook her head .. "Even though I'm mad at you .. this is worth a lot of pecuniary .. besides you need it to pass the mission .." he took her hand and placed the rose in her palm .. "Keep this to remember me by .. when I leave this world .. besides you don't have to refuse my gift ... I have already picked five of them already meaning I still have four more .. plus I only get to hand out one over to the military base .. and I get to sell these three .. see " he took out the four roses and held them infront of her eyes .. 'Keep this to remember him by ? .. ' she looked at him with blushed cheeks .. "Okay I'll keep it then .." Theo put on a curious smile "Tell me Captain Rose . why are you so friendly and nice ..? I'd expect you to be harsh and very violent with me .. even abusive .. but you're not"
"Uhm .. I don't know .. I guess my dad taught me not to be a harsh individual .. " she chuckled nervously .. but then Theo leaned closer to her face like he was trying to kiss her .. "But back in the cave .. you almost killed those guys .." she then gulped and looked at him showing a bittersweet smile .. "Well .. I don't like people who kill other people .. it's really not right .. " she then stood up and got away from Theo's heavy warm breathing ..
"Okay let's go .." when he stepped forward the snow beneath them started to rise .. he jumped off and carried Rose to safety .. "Hmm .. seems like there's a creature .. in this place ... system any details on this creature ..?" the window interface appeared and started scanning the creature's body .. 'This is a creature that goes by the name of Ice Gladiator .. - Forerunner rank .. ' he then looked at Rose who was as dumbfounded as he was .. but he decided to ask her anyway .. "What rank is a Forerunner ..?" she turned her head to look at him "Well a Forerunner rank is a rank above soldier rank .. I think I'll be able to handle it" she jumped off from his arms ..
When she went near to the creature that was still not in view .. Theo grabbed her wrist .. and pulled her "There are five of those things .. even with your strength you wouldn't kill all of them without .. any of your limbs getting ripped off .. or maybe sliced in half .. or maybe ... " before he finished Rose was started to fidget when she heard him mentioning the things that might happen to her if she faced all of them at once .. "Don't worry .. with my sword .. I will kill them for you .. wait a minute what's a heart emblem ..?" she then stopped fidgeting and looked at him with wide eyes "A heart emblem is a really rare .. thing to find .. and it usually powers one's strength or abilities .. " Theo then walked up to the snow that was falling from the beasts back ..
*Growls*
*snarls*
The creatures started emerging from the snow .. each creature has ice spikes coming from its back but their bodies were completely bare .. their brown skins looked hard and rocky from just looking at them , Theo pondered for a moment after seeing their fairly large bodies .. "I thought they were at the Forerunner rank .. God why are they so big ..?" Rose held onto his sleeve tightly after seeing the large five beasts with their red eyes and claw like paws ..
He took off making Rose to lose balance and stumble into the snow .. he took out his large sword and swung it at the two creatures that were looking at him .. when the creatures saw the sword coming they pounced on it .. but just then the swing changed its direction slicing another creature in the corner .. it's head rolled down to the other creatures ..
When the creatures the slaughter their eyes reddened even more as they rushed forward pouncing on Theo .. "Theo !?!" Rose shouted as the creatures blocked her view when they pounced on him ... suddenly a golden light escaped in little spaces the creatures made when they pounced on Theo .. after the light .. streaks of golden lightning sent a shockwave .. causing all the other creatures to slam into the icy wall .. and right in the middle of where the lightning first appeared .. Theo stood there .. with his hair flowing like a waterfall falling uphill ..
He swung his sword horizontally cutting the creature in half .. the other three ran into his direction and from his view he knew that these creatures had some kind of intelligence .. when he swung his sword into the other creature it dodged with ease but .. after dodging it had stumbled .. on another creature causing it to fall on its face .. .. when Theo saw the perfect chance he swung it vertically slicing the head off .. the other creatures started to panick .. but one was smart and leapt off in the air going to Rose .. but unbeknownst to the creatures they were going to deal with a much stronger opponent ..
When it came into close range .. Rose raised her sword in the air and slashed it in half .. but the other one had already planned an attack from behind ..
It thrusted it's claw like hand directly at her head .. but when it almost slashed her .. she twisted her body sideways and leapt off in the air sticking her sword in its head killing it instantly .. "Wow .. I almost regret not seeing you fight those guys .." Theo said with a smile sticking his sword on the snow .. "And here you say .. you're kind .. look at how ruthless you are .." she frowned at his words but having a slight blush .. "This is a creature not a human .." she then retrieved her sword from its head and removed it's heart emblem .. "Don't take it to your heart .. you're kind of cool that way .. but you're not ruthless .. you're just a cute captain ..." she then froze for a moment .. "Stop talking and gather the heart emblems .." .. "When you were fighting those cats I was gathering them .. and I'm already done .." the window interface appeared infront of him again 'First Mission - hunting soldier rank creatures uncompleted
Second Mission - hunting rare herbs completed
Reward - 60 pecuniary'
he narrowed his eyes at the window interface "But I just .." it was then he realised that the system wouldn't give him a mission completed title without doing the mission ..
Since he didn't complete the mission he began hunting more Forerunner creatures that he met on the snow mountain until they had eventually come up against a soldier rank creature .. killing it in one swing .. completing his mission and getting more pecuniary .. from the Forerunner Rank creatures ..
"Hey I think we should go now .." the spot that he was standing on started to glow bright green .. Rose ran into the circle and took Theo's hand hastily ..
