Sorry, life's being a hot beach again. [@Lasersquid112] As the lost marine warped himself onto the hard surface, loud footsteps could be heard from afar and the earth shook as two giant, bulky figures vaguely seen in the darkness, stomping their way toward him unknowingly. As the giant, bulky figures got closer, they revealed themselves to be Shadow Golems. Yup, black golems as black as obsidian, and engulfed with strong dark flames of darkness. Besides the thunderous stomps of the golems, several smaller, faster footsteps could also be heard as smaller silhouettes emerge from the darkness. The silhouettes went closer, showing themselves as several gunners dressed in elegant black clothes, and a few hounds engulfed in shadows. Together with the two golems, they have boldly encircled Ice and aimed their weapons at him. The troops whispered and gossiped with one another while shooting wary looks at Ice. In an unknown language, one of the troops shouted, "[i]Siapa kamu? Pergi sini buat apa? Kenapa pakai suit yang besar macam ni?[/i]". The tongue sounded very oddly similar to the Whampoan tongue as spoken by Helmina and her fellow Whampoans, yet also somewhat different than the Whampoan tongue. So close, yet so far. More straightfoward, more simple, and perhaps more "barbaric". Another one of then switched to an Asian tongue, "[i]你是誰哦?來著幹嘛?幹嘛穿這樣大的制服?[/i]"
