Minda grinned a toothy impishly simile at Therion’s deadpan response to the danger they were about to face a trek through a frozen over hell to fight goddesses knows what kind of monster at the top. She liked him already [color=Aquamarine]”I’m sure. Everything about you screams legendary warrior”[/color] she teased, before deliberately glancing at Primrose and adding more genuinely [color=Aquamarine]”I mean if you’ve got tricks under that cloak in the same way Prim has tricks under her… stuffed in her ponytail then I’m sure you’ll be a welcome part of the team.”[/color] 

She was about to drift off, having had her fun, when Primrose caught her ear and asked her for her help in keeping an eye on the man for an opportunity to free him. The way it was asked had enough genuine concern for the man that it made her feel a touch embarrassed about hassling him right off the bat out of a sense of jealousy. Only a little bit though. [color=Aquamarine]”Yeah sure, sure, I’ll help you keep a watch on him. It’s not like he’s hard on the eyes”[/color] before she nonchalantly gave one of her twin-tails a flip and then Primrose a smile to let her know she was just teasing about that last bit.

She would keep an eye on him however, she genuinely meant that.

The discussion about who would stay and who would go, and how/if they’d be getting people up top didn't really go anywhere, so it was fortunate that they stumbled across a solution only a little bit later. Namely a bunch of teleportation rocks sitting at the start of their accent.

[color=Aquamarine]”I could have told you that”[/color] Midna grumbled when the giant bee queen gave them an assessment of the long distance transportation rocks. Could she? Maybe. Probably not. It didn't really matter. What did was that they now had magic rocks which could sling them back and forth across the world. Or at least back to the big rocks, of which they had two so ultimately they could go between two places, as well as back to said places. Useful, no doubt, but not some kind of global traversal network like she was aware the blue team apparently had, if she understood the magic paintings one of their number could produce. Still, it was exactly what they needed, for getting the non-climbers to the summit in a flash.

[color=Aquamarine]”Well I guess I’ll take this one”[/color] Midna said, picking up and then sending one of the large ones to the twilight realm, before having a thought. She picked up a small stone and tried to see if it could find the one she had just transported, but to no avail.

[color=Aquamarine]”Drat. Well. at least no one’s going to accidentally send themselves home to get turned into a wolf I guess”[/color] she muttered and then sighed before tossing the little stone back to the gang staying behind. That would have been too convenient a way to check in on home, she supposed. 

[hr]

After that was all sorted out, and who was and wasn’t going was also sorted out, the gang all set out on their hiking trip, the first step of which was traipsing through a realm of pillars, arches, ramps and doorways carved out of stone completely haphazardly. It was quite the bizarre and yet also quite beautiful natural formation. Or ‘natural’ formation. There was probably some kind of arcane or divine nonsense responsible for the mimicry of mortal constructions going on. 

Minda rode her way through it on the back of one of her Wolfos, saving her strength for the climb that was to come, her lovely sombrero doing wonders and shielding her from the still baking desert sun and letting her enjoy the environment better than if she were forced to handle the light unprotected. 

Unfortunately not everyone was content to simply admire the scenery, and only a little bit after being warned about them, the hooligans of the red wastes came storming by. The Gorgon’s she recognized from, but many of the rest of the pile of mad racers rolled over them riding all manner of infernal contraptions unknown to Twili kind. 

[color=Aquamarine]”Goddess, bitch, mother fucker!”[/color] was Midna’s vitriolic initial reaction to their sport as her wolfos leapt to the side to narrowly avoid becoming roadkill at the hands of a [url=https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/EVuq9AeXsAAiV6W.mp4]rolling metal sphere[/url] that promptly launched off of a ramp and beyond sight while Midna yelled [color=Aquamarine]”Watch where you're going!”[/color] after it like a crotchety old woman before coughing from the dust being kicked up by the racers.

With seemingly no end to the riders in sight Midna moved to do something other than just dodge. She started by slipping her half mask up over her face to fit snugly against the underside of her helmet, the lens and air filter keeping her eye and lungs dust free. Next she dismissed her wolfos, who was close to a panic from all the roaring and rolling, and then dropped to the ground, moving up beside Jesse and finally she brought out a max size shadow hand and putting it out palm first (unwittingly in a way that made it look like a giant stop sign) to form another magical barricade next to the director’s floating debris.

[color=Aquamarine]”Get behind us or form up! There’s got to be an end to them”[/color] she shouted hoping that with the two ladies (and maybe Braum) holding down the fort they’d be able to barricade down a large enough spot for the team to simply hunker down and wait out the storm.
