Cold Winter

Chapter 8

"Do you think that place is good?"Amber pointed at a less lavay area.
"Yeah."Zee replied.
"Great...weeeee forgot about our stuff back there."Amber said as she slapped herself.
"Shiiiit...."Zee replied.
"I'll be right back!"Amber said letting go of him before running off again.
"...welp wonder how long she will be,because just walking took a few hours."Zee said to himself.
He sat there for a bit,already bored.He looked around,then looked at the sky.The sun was slowly setting.
He picked at his hands,then started to study the white lines on some of his fingernails.He stopped then lied on his back,looking at the sky.Dark clouds where forming left of the sun.
"Maybe rain will come tonight..."He said to himself."No rain will definitely come tonight."
He put his hand up to the sky,his rings sparkled when the light hit it.His arm soon became weak and he rested his hand on his stomach.

"Huff...Huff...Huff..."Amber breathed heavily as she ran back.
Her boots made loud steps on the rocky ground as she ran.She slowed down.
She saw their stuff as she ran.Amber finally went into a speed walking pace.She stopped and put her hands on her knees trying to catch her breath.She finally felt the hotness of the lava,she looked around.Lava pools surrounded her.Only small steps of rocks lead to the arch where they had left there stuff.
"Wait..."She looked around."The lava wasn't this high before..."
She stepped back.Before moving carefully to get their stuff.
"I am being sooo stupid!"Amber cried.
The area where she could walk for smaller and smaller.The hot lava burned her skin as she got closer and closer to the lava.
"Ow,ow,ow,ow!"She cried as her feet got a tiny bit burnt.
She finally got to the arch and grabbed her things,some of it was burnt.
"And now I have to go back!"She wined.
She started to quickly speed walk trying not to get burned.
As soon as she got into a more open area,Amber started to sprint.

Zee whistled as he waited for her to return.He looked at his weird ass legs.
"Maybe I should try to act as if I am standing on my toes..."
He put his hands on the ground and slowly got up,he stumbled as his body wasn't used to this weirdness.He found a way to stand up,his legs feather out once he got about more stable.His hooves dragged as he tried to walk.
AH!"Zee fell."When is she coming back..."
The sky was turning dark blue.
His arms just spread out in front of him.He slowly got up into a sitting position.He ran his fingers though his silky dark brown hair.
He looked up at the sky,and the stars slowly showed themselves,though they started to get covered by the dark grey clouds.A loud bang of thunder rattled through the sky.
"Oh god..."Zee whispered.
He looked over at where Amber would be,and saw her,slowly walking over,seeming puffed.
A few minutes later and she had finally reached him.
"Oh...my...goodness..."She said before collapsing on the ground."Why...is our...stuff so friggin heavy...."
"Normally we both carry the stuff so like of course it will be more heavy."Zee replied.
"Yeah...I know but why!"Amber just laid there,her voice more muffled when she talked.
"Because people thought that we would be gone for a long time,which yes we have been,like it's been a month of travelling."He explained to her.
He laid back on the hard rock.
"It will rain tonight..."Zee said.
"Yeah no shit."She replied.
He rolled his eyes at her reply.He started to focus on her thoughts.
"Oh my gawd I want to sleep!!"She had thought.
"Then go to sleep!"He said to her.
"Mhhhhhhm ok...."She said,using one of the bags as a pillow.
He put his hands under his head as he again started to look up at the sky.His eyes slowly became more heavy as time passed.He finally went to sleep.
He stood in the abyss and looked around.
"Deer..."A voice said behind him.
He tried to turn around but he couldn't.
"You are here finally...though you seem to be a man in this human form..."The voice sent shivers down Zee's spine,he tried to say something but couldn't.
"Oh my what is it you want to say...oh wait you can't talk right now..."The voice traveled and echoed through the space or well Abyss he was in.
The thing slowly moved closer,he could sense it.He could finally see the thing that was talking to him.The flows of reds and blues,with blacks making a galaxy kinda look.
"I am so sorry Dear,for not telling you that I am the bear."
