I couldn't quite get Spruce's fall out of my head. You know, just seeing him collapse and everything. Not as bad as now... the pain's starting to get to me, so do forgive a more stark tone from myself. Judgement's a very difficult attack to survive from after all.
Until I heard everyone began talking about Spruce, I was fairly distant and unaware what had really happened. I had the badge stuck under one of my magnets, ready to click and flash back to where Spruce and the others were. At the same time... the mission wasn't done yet. Mission, quest, goal, whatever. Just a point where we get an ending and resolution. I stuck around because there was something that needed to be done. I couldn't help Spruce, but I sure as hell could help everyone else. With that in mind, Reshiram turned his fuzzy white neck towards me, perhaps with contempt given what I asked earlier. It seemed awfully like contempt considering what I said earlier, but he didn't harbour any ill will or anything like that; he addressed me like a gentle giant, saying he couldn't just simply wish away the cold without provocation and retaliation.
"Alright." I responded, prepared to say more if it weren't for Reshiram turning away from me. Maybe I was taking it too quickly. I looked on as Reshiram trudged through the snow, unaccustomed though not entirely unfamiliar with the climate. Anthony and Josh (the members of the other team) took solace in that the struggle was almost over, whilst everyone else... well, they just stood like icicles. It was horrible to think if they were either dead or trapped in an icy hell. Thankfully, those thoughts disappeared as I approached Anthony in the bitter air, marginally thicker than Reshiram's home climate.
"Hi... I don't think I've properly introduced myself (if at all, I can't quite remember)." Whatever happened, I wasn't very approachable as I had hoped; I was talking to the wispy air if anything. Perhaps I was late, but I was just left with a rather pretty figure in the ice. "Oh. Well, we'll get you out of there."
Look, as awkward as that was, I was just trying to pay my respects at the time, what with the fighting earlier and the tough time my team was going through. It's getting harder to concentrate away from the fighting in the background, so... maybe that didn't happen. Alright, even though I've just admitted being rather unreliable narrator, I definitely know I've introduced myself as Miles to someone, perhaps the frozen lady even (Kiera if I remember correctly). I certainly remember it as "my name's Miles Hall" and possibly "we've fought before."
Alright, let's get past that. I followed the group towards a certain icy cave at the town's exterior. Let's just say it was quite haunting to pass through the interior, a flash freeze that everyone just had to be caught in. Things got quite exciting at the cave, though I didn't do much considering we had a legendary behind our backs. The only thing that seemed to deter us was the massive amount of ice around the cave, but basically trivial for some of us. Anthony suggested melting down the cave's walls, though I suspected that would've annoyed Kyreum...
