Airtrius

Chapter 5

Airtrius

Airtrius, dimension of the sky. Islands floating in the air, some filled with grass. While rina and Ryuu arrived upon one with snowy fields.

The portal opened and Ryuu and rina walked out on to the snowy island "Airtrius. World of floating islands. The ancient beings built these islands to sustain with medieval times" Rina said to ryuu "It's freezing here." Ryuu said to Rina "Well. It is the frost isles, So its natural. I brought your cold gear" Rina said, handing him his gear

they both put the jackets and gear over their clothing. Masks covering their face and hoodies keeping them warm. "We need to head towards the grass isle" Rina said, looking at a map

They started walking east, as they had to find the bridge leading into the grassy isles

They walked for hours as they came across a small camp of the beings of the sky dimension "Welcome. What are you doing out here?" a person asked. They all wore marks with different designs and hoodies. Their hands had claw like fingers and wore feathers on one side of their head "We've come to look for the grass isle. We read it was east." Ryuu told the being

A traveling salesman with a face and swirls on his mask came up to him "Young travelers, you come from another world. Yet you venture here for what?" the mam asked

"I've come for the katana's of demons " Ryuu said as silence followed "of course... Continue past that mountain and you'll find the grassy fields you seek. But beware of snarlaxs, they feast on the flesh of their prey" the man said as they walked towards the mountain

They continued walking. Neither of them said a thing. Ryuu reading the map, figuring out where to go next

"Ryuu... That trick you pulled with katsumi..." Rina said "What trick?" he asked "You kissing her" rina said "I didn't kiss her. She kissed me, and what about? " Ryuu asked "Well... You may have... Cursed her" rina replied

Ryuu stopped and looked at her with an angry expression "What do you mean!? I didn't do an-" as he got cut off "You being part demon can inflict someone else, if you kiss them, or exchange any DNA, Saliva counts!" rina said to ryuu "So she's going to be a demon? " Ryuu asked "I'm afraid so" rina said, as ryuu stood there. Continuing to walk "Lets go..." Ryuu said, as he continued

"theres no way to reverse the curse? " Ryuu asked silently "no..." rina replied

Ryuu pulled his hood further down

As they made it to the mountain. They were careful of the snarlaxs. Wolf like creatures crossed with fox and coyote. They walked past the mountains split and saw the grassy fields. Ryuu heard a snap from behind as a snarlax broke sticks coming out of the bushes, a second and third followed

"What do we do?" Ryuu asked "Its obvious " she said pulling out a sword "we fight em'" she told him "What about the mountain. Loud noise will cause an avalanche " Ryuu said as they got closer and closer to the two

A snarlax jumped at ryuu as he drew the blade through the snarlaxs chest, killing it in the process "I'd run " Rina said, as they both ran towards the bridge, the two remaining snarlax howled and barked, Causing an avalanche

The snow descending from the top of the mountain. The two snarlax running after Ryuu and rina.

Rina pulled out a crossbow "Where are you.getting these things!?" Ryuu asked as rina aimed at one of the snarlax, as she was running "you can't make a shot while running!" Ryuu told her as she shot at the snarlax, putting an arrow in it's back "childhood practice pays off!" Rina said, as the snow hit the bottom of the mountain
