Ten Thousand Fists

[tangletail]

Leo lets out a long painfully low groan. "I just hope I adapt to this before we even get close to alaska."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"Adapting to Canadian weather for Alaska is like going to Mexico or Florida to prepare for Death Valley." Korbin got up, pecked Willow on the lips, and went right for the tent.

[tangletail]

Leo raised a brow to Korbin "Actually, I like the weather of death valley, it's nice and warm." he said looking down to his main, and straitening some of his feathers by instinct.

marco woke up again, groaning loudly and noticing he was moving. "what's going on?" durako lent over him for a moment silently before going back to watching the trees go passed from the back of the cart the two were in. "were heading to alaska. once there you'll be treated properly for you injerys. but untill then you should try to move as little as possible." "good to know. but why are you doing all this for me?" "because we're good people, thats why." said an old man driving the cart.

"toalaska it is then...we must go on foot, taking our horses may be faster but more dangerous".

Willow gathered everything she needed, furs, smoked meats, weapons, suppiles, etc. she felt a tap on her shoulder as she was packing her bag. she turned and saw Arthas "hello your Majasty" he sighed "I over heard your dangerous trip to Alaska with Korbin and Leo."
"yes, we are going there"
"whatever it is, it must be important...I have someone you may want to go with" he stepped aside as a giant, white (feral) polar bear stepped forward. Willow smiled in delight "Ragen!" the polar bear stepped forward and licked her face, growling happily. "hey buddy, its been so long!" she hugged his head as he grolwed happily. "he will carry your heavy gear and be your fearsom protection" Willow smiled at Arthas, then turned to Korbin "Korbin! remember Ragen!" as she strapped the heavy gear on him good and tight.

[tangletail]

Leo quietly placed his face into both of his hands after seeing a polar bear trot in front of him "Oh dear god...." he groaned realizing they were probably close to a more colder area then he originally thought.  He eventually uncrossed his legs and got up stretching "Well... should we head out now before we burn any more day light? Or do you have any unfinished business"

[KittKat chunky~]

Of course, the brief respite was exactly that, brief... Katka was there again only a few turns down the winding path, leaning languidly against a mossy rock. Kitt stopped walking and clenched his fists "Stop following me!" The shout roused a flock of crows from their perches in a nearby tree. Katka merely grinned and pushed herself away from the stone. She walking in the way that annoyed Kitt the most, hands clasped behind her back and with slow purposeful strides. He shuddered where he stood and clenched his fists tighter until he could feel his claws piercing flesh.

"Me, following you?" She finally reached him and put an arm around his shoulders, leaning close and smiling a Cheshire-cat smile "Perhaps it is the other way around. Have you ever thought of that..." Kitt growled and shoved her away, staring with venom up at the cold blue sky. He needed to find a settlement, or even just a group of travelers, get away from the solitude and madness.

Katka grinned another of her smiles and stepped up beside him "Solitude? You have me. silly. Your never alone with me around... Besides, there are people nearby. A large group of them in fact, getting ready to travel if I'm not mistaken-" She stopped mid-sentence, watching as Kitt set off at a run down the path. Funny, he always did that when she mentioned there where other people somewhere nearby. Of course he never waited to let her tell him where they where, but this time he was actually running in the right direction.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Korbin forced a smile when she asked him about the polar bear. "Yes, I remember... Ragen. Has he been de-clawed yet?"

[Grace.E]

"of course not! I'll make sure he is on his best behavior though" she said, then she giggled and continued to gather essentials. Arthas approached Korbin. "there is something you should know about the Alaskan king... he is fairly young...about fifteen. Willow used to baby sit him when he was younger....just so you know...you may have a rival" Arthas got on his wite horse and nodded to him "RIDE OUT MEN!"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"I've dealt with snooty nobles, attitude goes away after the first two hits to the head." Korbin slung his rifle over his back and pointed a finger at Ragen. "You already know what I'm about to say, so just keep your distance, and you'll live to see tomorrow."

[Grace.E]

Ragen growled at Korbin but was silenced when Willow stroked his head "ohhhhh.... you guys need to get over it..." the bear rubbed against her face, making happy grunts. "Leo! are you ready yet?"

[tangletail]

Leo was already standing with the one of the few packs on his back and his own equipment. The feline slowly looked onto his back then back to willow with an expression that asked if she was kidding. Eventually he shrugged and came forward after adjusting the pack giving his answer in a form of a question "Does a cow have moo?"

[KittKat chunky~]

Undergrowth crashed and clawed at Kitt as he ran, jumping over fallen trees and careening through brambles and bushes. Finally he stopped for a breath, leaning heavily against a gnarled tree as his chest rose and fell heavily.

"My, my... You do seem desperate to find these other people..." From around the trunk of the tree Katka had slunk quietly. Her own breaths where low and silent, and there was no visible sign of her having ran at all. Kitt merely growled a low offence at her and continued on in a much slower manner. Behind he could hear the sounds of Katka following, but he tried to block it out. He needed to find people, real people who where definitely there, people who didn't spend their entire existence torturing him.

Suddenly his ears flicked up and his pupils dilated in excitement. The sound of conversation, rather distant but still audible through the clear cold air. Katka stepped up beside him and twisted his whiskers around her finger. With a shout Kitt swung around with his sword, blades extending with a rasp of metal and slicing through the thin-air where she had been. He panted and then slid the sword away again as he continued on towards the voices and a way out of the madness that had become his solitary life...

[Grace.E]

Willow looked at her companions. "now we must journey to the ice kingdom....ugh its not gonna be a fun journey" she pulled on Regans reins gently and he growled as she began to walk, it was going to be long but she knew that they would make it. in her bag she searched her map, taking it out, the would have to travel north... by ship it would be faster but more dangerous since the ocean was now more unpredictable and angry. "Korbin, Leo, we need to find out what is the quickest route" 

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Korbin walked a small distance ahead of them, climbing up a tree and looked through the branches. He jumped down the tree and went back to Willow. "We could hide through the trees, make use of their bark as projectile shields in the event of being spotted and attacked."
