"Phew..."
"Haaahh..."
Cold, foggy breath slipped from their lips as they started moving, each step sinking into the snow.
The wind pushed at them, biting through their clothes and making their bodies tremble nonstop.
None of them had reached the Master realm, so they couldn't exactly create a force field to protect themselves from the cold.
"C-cold!" Lyra suddenly threw her arms around Gray's waist and shoved her hands into the pockets of his jeans as if her life depended on it.
"H-Hey—!" Gray flinched.
"F-fucking hell…"
He looked around frantically, searching for anything: a cave, a wall of rocks, even a fallen tree.... anything that could block the wind for even a second…
"Selina, can't you make warm water for us?" Gray asked through chattering teeth.
Selina turned toward him; her lips were pale and cracked.
"I can try… but if our clothes get wet, we'll freeze even faster."
"Then we should find a cave," Selene said, her arms wrapped tight around herself.
