Winter uses her acrobatic technique to flip herself off the couch. From there, She activates and presses the button combination to the location of Furia. Then she aims it forward and opens the portal in front of her.
But before she steps in, She took a look back at the four who stood there, and tells them what they need to hear.
Winter: "I may not be a hero, or someone who does crime fighting. But when it comes to my people, my friends, and the poor innocent lives...I do what I feel is necessary. Even if it involves putting someone to rest. Permanently."
After, She jumps into the portal and heads straight toward her destination. Then, It closes shut.
Cryterian Advisor 2: "...We're doomed."
Derek the Advisor: "As long as she doesn't harm anyone, It's fine."
Cryterian Advisor 2: "The Treaty clearly states that no Cryterian or Furian is to set foot into each other's kingdom under any circumstances. And what is she doing? Setting foot into that kingdom. She's going to be the death of us."
Emma: "Oh relax! You're being dramatic! She's just going there to kick his ass, That's all!"
Aster: "And besides, He's the one who fire the first shot. If I was in her shoes, I'd want to beat him to a pulp. So I understand why she has to do it."
Cryterian Advisor 2: "You all don't seem to get the bigger picture here. It's not the fact that she's dealing with one Furian, It's the fact that she's going about it the wrong way. What Winter is about to do is completely reckless..."
He inhaled and exhaled after speaking out his opinion, then continues on.
Cryterian Advisor 2: "...Day by day, She's only confirming my fear. The way she talks, The way she thinks...I can only hope that she doesn't go too far..."
The second advisor does seem to be making a point. Winter's reckless nature is dangerous, Especially when it comes to situations like this.
Cryterian Advisor 2: "All of you are to blame for encouraging Winter's Behavior. You especially..."
He points at Derek as he ended this part of the sentence, and then leaves the living room.
Derek does trust her. But at the same time, He can't help but agree with what the second advisor is saying.
Deep down, He hopes that Winter returns home to safety. Emma even says it in her thoughts.
Emma: [ Inner Monologuing: "Winter...Please come back home safe..." ]
Nation: Furia
Location: The Furian Kingdom
The portal opens on a random spot that's eight feet away from the flaming place, and Winter jumps out, landing softly on her feet. As the portal disappears, The Princess took this moment to use her Cold Energy and converge it to her body so that she can remain cold, and then takes a good look at the flaming palace. And her eyes were amazed by what she's seeing.
It's been a long time since her first visit at the flames palace. She remembers hearing mentions about that place. It was once a beautiful castle that everyone and every noble person came to visit to, even going as far as to spend the night there. But looking at it now, It looks like a fortress that everyone stays away from. She's not even sure if they allow people to visit anymore.
She also took notice on the heavy security surrounding the palace.
There were heavily armed knights with heavily armed weapons on the roof of the palace, ready to fire at anything that moves. There were security cameras monitoring any movement or a possible threat at all times. There were even knights, patrolling and guarding areas as well as the entrances of the palace.
