And pretty much that's how we ended up here. In the middle of a blizzard, on a cliff after almost dying in a train accident. Just because my brother wanted to save his girlfriend...well ex-girlfriend now.

I put the Phurba dagger back in my pocket and Nate and I pulls out our gun. "Here we go..." Nate said as more soldiers start coming towards us. Then we take out the patrolling soldiers at the crash site, but more come. "Bring it on!" I shouted as we take out the second wave of guards. But then a third wave of soldiers appear at the back of the crash site. "The more the merrier." Nate mutters as we take out the soldiers when a gas tank on a train car nearby explodes.

"We're either gonna bleed out or we're gonna climb out." I said after we took out the soldiers and come upon a burning gas truck. "Ah, shit it's cold." Nate grumbles as we climb out of the crash site and began to wander through the blizzard for a while before I collapse in the snow. "(Y/n)..." Nate said, weakly, as he goes over to me and helps me up to my feet. We try to walk forward again but I fall down again, pulling Nate down with me. We crawl through the snow but we collapse again and I black out from exhaustion.

Next thing I know, I wake up in a small hut then sees  a small girl looking at me. I give a startled gasp at this as I look over and see a man standing by the window. He walks over to me and speaks Tibetan. "Where's my brother? How did I get here?" I asked but the man continues to speak Tibetan while I sit up. "Okay..." I said, questionable, then I look down and find out my gunshot wound was now healed. The man continues to speak as he sits down opposite me and pours a drink from a flask. "How long have I been out?" I asked him. The man talks again as he hands a drink to me and motions for me to drink it. "Thanks." I said, appreciatevly, and I drink from the cup. Then the man tries to refill the cup while I gagged at the taste of the drink.

"No, no, no - that's - that's plenty." I said as the man continues to talk as I give him a confused look. "I'm sorry...I don't understand..." I said then he stands and takes the cup away. "What...?" I asked as he puts the drink and flask down on a nearby table. Then he walks back over to me and helps me off the bed. "Thanks." I said to the man as he hands me a jacket. He speaks in Tibetan again before starts to walk out of the room and up the stairs.

I give him a confused look as I look down at the jacket then start to put it on. After I put on the jacket, I make my way over to the stairs and look up at it. "Hello? Uh...sir?" I called out then I hear footsteps. The man walks down, still speaking in Tibetan, but I see my brother walking behind him. "Nate!" I said as they come down the stairs and I go over to Nate and hug him. "Oh thank God, you're okay!" Nate said as we hug each other. "You okay?" I asked Nate. "Yeah, better than expected." He replied just at the man talks again.

We look over at him and see him leaving the building. Nate and I look at each other before we head out and follow the man. "Where the hell are we?" I asked Nate. "I have no clue." Nate replied as the man speaks again as he puts his hat on and walks off. "Huh, guess we're supposed to follow him." Nate said and we follow him. "Ah, does anyone speak English?" I asked some villagers but they look at me like I had a second head growing from my shoulder. I shake my head and walk ahead as we approach a yak. 

"Hey, moo...heh. I don't s'pose you speak English do ya?" Nate asked the yak, sarcastically, as we pet it. Then we approach the man at the entrance to the second part of the village and he waves for us to continue. "We got it, follow you. Go somewhere." Nate mutters as the man pushes open the wooden doors. As we enter the next part of the village, a villager walks past us. "'Scuse us. 'Scuse us." We said and the villager speaks. "What?" Nate asked but the person doesn't respond and we just continue on.

Moments later, we approach two kids playing football nearby and the ball rolls over to us. "Oh, there you go. Want to kick the ball?" I asked the kids and I kick the ball back over to them. "Here ya go, get it." I said as one of the kids catch the ball. "Kick it back." I said but the kid doesn't do it. "C'mon, kick it back. Kick it. K-kick. Forget it." I gave up as they didn't listen and we just walk away.
