The fog was deep within the forest Miss Marie and Crona was wondering upon. The fog made Crona feel less tense. Crona was able to deal with not seeing anything. No obstacles were less of a challenge to him.
The forest was shrouded in a white weary mist. It made Marie frustrated. "How am I supposed to get to Medusa's lair in this kind of weather?" Miss Marie thought. Her eyes caught Crona's unormally pink hair. "Hm. That's weird. It's like the only thing I can see is the pink of Crona's hair." She thought.
The mist eventually disappeard.They stumbled upon two symboless signs in between.
"This way." Miss Marie said.
They began to walk on the path to their left. Two hours past. They came across two other paths, with the same features as the last.
"This way." Miss Marie said.
Crona was fed up with this. Once again they found the same paths.
"This way!" Marie yelled.
"No, it's this way." Crona said.
They walked the path Crona strongly suggested. Just as he predicted, Crona picked the right path.
"Let's camp out here." Miss Marie said.
They unloaded their bags. Miss Marie pulled out her tent and began to make it. Crona held himself tightly. He still felt horrible for what he done. He knew he can't erase his mistake.
The snake. The snake he implanted in Miss Marie's drink. The snake Medusa knew would increase Stein's madness. The snake that is the reason why Crona is where he is now. Crona knew his apologies to Lord Death didnt matter. Nothing could change the fact he betrayed his freinds. He's honest, loyal freinds. The freinds that we be there for him his entire life. He calmly thought to himself.
What should I do? I can never go back to the DWMA. As much as they accepted my apologies, I still felt guilty. I hate this, so, so much. He said.
I hate this he thought.
"Uhm Miss Marie?" Crona said.
"Yes?" Miss Marie said.
Marie already had the tent set up.
"Shall I go get some firewood for you?" Crona said.
Miss Marie smiled. She thought to herself.
That poor innocent child. It wasnt his fault. It was the horrible witch. Medusa. If I was Crona, as soon as we get there, I'd kill her. But that would give him nightmares. Knowing he killed his own mother. But how would he feel guilty? She is the reson why Crona has numerous fears he cant deal with. This is all too confusing.
Marie hugged Crona. He was startled by her sudden need for a hug.
"Yes you can." She said.
"I'm suprised you would hug somebody as pathetic as me." Crona said.
"Crona. I know it wasnt your fault. Medusa made you do it. But, you also had the choice to not do it. Otherwise, I cant gain my trust for you unless you decide to fight your mother. Now, go get some fire wood. While your getting it, make up your mind about what's coming next." Marie said.
Crona felt hurt. Crona knew it was coming.
"O-Okay." He said.
He walked towards some trees. He summoned Ragnorok to help him.
"Gu-pi-pi!" He said. "What's up, pinkie?!" Ragnorok gave Crona a nuggie.
"Ragnorok so help me if you dont quit I'm going to slit your throaght! Now shut your mouth and help me with these branches!" Crona said.
"Eh?!" Ragnorok was surprised. "Since when did you become a big macho man?"
"I'm not what you call a macho man. I'm just a normal human being, who happens to be making up his mind wether wants to kill his mom or not!" Crona said.
"Your going to kill Medusa?!" Ragnorok said. "How are you going to manage that? She's your mother you cant kill her! I forbid you to, punk!"
Crona heard his mother's name too may times to count.
"You dont understand." He said.
"She is the reason why I'm scared. The reason of my fear of living in the shadows. If I kill her, I'll get rid of the fear, wont I?
Ragnorok looked at him with his X like eyes.
" Maybe." He said. "If you want to sob yourself to death."
Crona fell to his knee and began to cry.
"Your right I cant kill her. But I can with the help of you. Unless you want to complain about your back hurting from being in weapon form too long. You call me the baby?! What a hipocrit!" He screamed. He curled up into a ball.
Marie heard Crona shouting. Marie came to his time of need.
"Crona what's wrong? Did you get a cramp or splinter?" She asked.
"I-I cant go on. Crona said.
"I cant go on with feeling feeling guilty all the time. I have to kill Medusa. No matter what."
He got up.
"Alright we will tomorrow." She said. "For now we-" She was inturrupted by Crona.
"No." He said.
"We kill her tonight!" He demanded.
