Chapter 6: Chapter 6

*poke* *poke* poke* 

“Gimme 5 more minutes…” 

*poke* *poke* *poke*

“Ish too early…”

*Bite*

“Ow, what the hell was that for!” I shot up as shiro bit into my cheek. He was growling at me, but as my eyes opened fully he stopped. “Shiro is so mean! What are you, my alarm clock!?” Shiro pouted and then looked away from me. “I am sorry come here, Shiro!” At first he didn’t obey, but as I pulled out the legendary sausage, he relented. 

“Are you always like this?” Wolfrick asked from behind. The others had begun coming out of their tent as well. Dawn was barely breaking over the horizon. “I will let you know that you can’t pin me down to one thing. If you tried to understand me your head would probably explode, old man…wolf.”

“I can see you are quite the complex individual. Even your background is a self proclaimed cave dweller. Well missy can you answer this conundrum? If you are from a cave as you professed, then how do you know about clocks?” Oh shit. He heard my stupid ramblings. Well it doesn’t matter. I have an answer for everything.

“It was a rich cave! A cave fit for only the wealthy!” He just sighed as he pulled out his pipe. “You keep your secrets, as long as you are of assistance to us I don’t care. Old man! We need to hurry!” Havel interrupted our banter. 

“Indeed, it is as the boy says.” Yilk spoke in agreement. Yorick and Artorias nodded as well.

“This is the third time we have searched around these damn woods and the lake. She was also not in the shacks.” We had spent the better half of the morning searching throughout the places they had already looked. It was easy for me to look around and feel through the snow, but despite this we hadn’t found Armeyas or any sign of her sisters yet. We stopped near the three shacks all staring out towards the place I had initially come from.

“Well missy I think this would be our time to invoke your help.” Wolfick blew smoke out of his pipe upon finishing his words. Havel looked like he wanted to say something, but instead he opted to look away from me. Cradled in my arms was Shiro, as he looked up at me and whimpered. “Haah, very well, I will search through there as much as I can, but I make no promises.”

“I thank you on behalf of all of us. We will hold up here for a little, and then we will continue our search in the woods once more. It would be best if we meet up back here upon sunset, but should that not transpire, you can meet us back at our village. It is easy to come across. Simply cross the woods from where you met us. Once you meet the edge of a cliff follow it for a little ways south, and you should find it. I wish you the best of luck.” I nodded towards the old Graywolf before turning back to the tundra and heading on my own.

It didn’t take long for the blizzard to get thick and blanket the area. I could still sense around me through the snow. Shiro and I were both entirely unbothered by the blistering cold. If anything it was a comforting feeling.

“How do we even find someone in this massive place anyway?” Shiro looked up at me and tilted his head. The adorable gesture got him some chin scratches. Even though he wasn’t helping, I still had my game knowledge to go by. Sure this world was probably different, but I had my inventory. I had my spells. I had everything that I had grinded for. I was Misa!

The first spell I had used [Ice Board] had come to me as simply as breathing, and whatever transpired after that. No, I won’t talk about it! Remembering the same pulsating feeling of the mana coursing through me, I reached out once more. This time I used my own mana to latch onto the snow pelting the ground everywhere around me. Within seconds I had created a [Snow Radar] with me at the center.

The snow around me was pinging my brain with information. In my mind an outline of the nearby terrain was created. It was like a topographic map. Except it wasn’t all that helpful. “Everything is flat!” 

Surrounding me on all sides was just a flat landscape for what seemed like miles. The land was entirely barren of anything like a hill. The pings that came back to me didn’t even reveal any creatures living out here. “Well that is no surprise. I guess, I should just head towards the north for a while and hope something pings.”

*woof!*

“What are you a dog or a cat?” Shiro licked my face happily spreading his drool. Well, there were some people who did say that foxes were like a combination of dogs and cats, I guess. 

I shook my head free of those thoughts as I started Ice boarding through the snow. I picked up speed rapidly once again. Information was pinging me in droves, but it was all entirely useless. I didn’t need to know the position of a twig buried in the snow. It was becoming annoying, so I tried to make the pings only focus on anything different. Something did change.

I thought the magic stopped working at first as the pings stopped coming, but the terrain was still laid out in my brain. After a while a large ping booped on my snowy radar. As I focused on the location from which I was booped, my mind's map showed an indent in the terrain. Shiro started barking from my arms. “You sensed it too?”

It didn’t take long at the rate I was traveling to arrive at the mouth of a cave that sloped into the ground. The entrance was large enough to fit a semi-truck and shards of ice hung ominously from the top of the opening. “What do you think, Shiro? If we walk into the entrance, will we meet the gruesome death of a cartoon character? I am too young to be skewered by point icicles.” Shiro stared at me clearly unamused. “Alright, alright, we will enter, oh lord Shiro.”
