I nodded at Spruce, still barely conscious but able to hover. I took a pretty bad hit considering my typing, and I swear to Arceus it was a critical. "Back to our mission... hopefully we get a good night's sleep after this." I rasped, clearing my throat and following through with Spruce's (general) direction. Man, I didn't expect myself to be roughened up so badly from one attack. Just the perks of being a Steel - you may be a tank, but any enemy may have a wrench up their sleeve. As I floated through the relentless blizzard, I had vivid visions of Pokemon being... too graphic to describe, really. I couldn't tell whether they were hallucinations or real things going on in this place. Seems to me that if the entire world became a Mystery Dungeon, it wouldn't end well. One doesn't understand how or why they came to being. I blame Arceus, jokingly.

After spending a while brushing past bushes as the path seemed to get more rough and wild, we eventually came across to some fires. I say fires because I got double-vision from that earlier attack. Apparently Daniel told Spruce about finding signs of the others, and sure enough we managed to find Celes and Josh braving the elements to the best of their ability. "Heeey..." I smiled for the first time since entering the damned forest, ready to finally fall flat on my face and get some rest. These guys wouldn't know of what we had just encountered, since they seemed rather content with the current setting.
