lost and not so alone? [East]

~NAIDA GARDEZ~


When Dysis's face appeared in the sky Naida felt her chest tighten and tears threatened to spill out. She'd only know the girl for a short time, but her lose still wasn't easy. The confrontation with those boys had shaken Naida up, they made her act in ways she wasn't used to. Never in her life had she ever imaged she could attack another human being, never mind chop their hand off. He deserved it, he did. But still it bothered her. The amount of blood... The look of horror on his face. No one, not even Naida, excepted she was capable of such an act. Low training score, mentally not all there, overall just weak. And there she was, dominating the fight. Non of them had dealt as much damage as she had. She swore her sword had been guided by Raiden. He wanted her to live, he wanted Berkley to live. Unfortunately their was nothing he could do for Dysis. But she was safe now, no more suffering. Surely Dysis would go wherever Raiden had gone. She was ok now, the rest of them still had something to worry about.

After some bit of traveling they entered a large jungle like area. Which of course like everything else in the arena was frozen in ice. The trees looked like arctic monsters ready to reach down and strangle the life out of her. Every sound made her jump. What was lurking? What was waiting for them? Thirst was starting to over take Naida. There was snow everywhere, but it was useless unless melted and boiled. No telling what infections the seemingly pure white fluff could contain. No matter how innocent looking, if it was in this arena, it was sinister, it had some way to kill a tribute. Naida noticed some wood that was unfrozen. Fire. There was something in this frozen hell she could use to make fire. If only she'd taken fire making as a station... Taken goodness Berkley had taken the station. It looked like he ran into trouble before meeting up with her in the frozen jungle. Seeing him was a relief, she the water he'd saved was an even bigger relief as much as she hated to admit it. "You don't look so good... But you saved me water. I don't know what to say other than thanks." She smiled before slowly sipping down the water. "I can try to help with some of your wounds...

It looked like a fight occurred before she showed up, and poor Berkley was wounded. She decided to collect more firewood.
