The days were getting shorter as the temperatures dropped, coating the landscapes in fluffy snow, something that reminded two young adventures of home. At summer's end they left their city in the far north to fulfill the dream of someone important to them, someone who was now no longer with them in the world of the waking. As the night began to fall, the two boys were approaching a small village lit up with beautiful colours signaling a special holiday that was fast approaching, the falling snow gracefully reflecting the colours all over the horizon. On the ridge overlooking that village, one of the boys, Ion, fell onto his back to take in all this beauty, his mate Zephyr, sat down beside him to do the same thing. They were entranced, this time of the year was always special for them but this time was going to be different, not only because they were far from home but because for the first time, there was someone missing to enjoy it with them. "Beautiful isn't it?" Zephyr called aloud, Ion taking a deep breath, enjoying the cold air answered back "it is... I just wish... he was here to see it as well." Zephyr made a small frown in remembering their friend, it was only a year ago the three of them were enjoying the snow together, toboggining down those hills with their sled, crashing and laughing it off, the three of them having a big snow ball fight and building snow foxes, they had big plans for the years ahead in their young lives but in the spring that was all taken away from one of them. "I... I am sure he would have really enjoyed this" Zephyr said with a slight smile, trying to lift Ion's spirits up knowing how much he had meant to him. Ion tilted his head up to look a the sky, "I am sure as well" he began to say, "I miss him every day, this adventure was suppose to be the three of us and every time I remember that i just feel sorrow." Zephyr's smile began to fade but one started to appear on Ion, "but every time I feel this sorrow" Ion started as he placed a hand on his chest, " I get this warm feeling telling me everything is going to be alright, like he is telling me to solder on, to carry out our dream, it was something he wanted more then anything in this world." Ion continued to look up at the sky as the smile on his face grew bigger, "it is like he is still here with us, still by our side watching over us like some guardian angel" Ion joyfully said, "there is no way I can let him down if he still believes in me, I will fulfill our dream no matter what!" The smile came back to Zephyr's face as he held out his hand to the sky "please don't stop watching over these two fools" he called out loud as the two of them began to laugh. "The three of us were like some unstoppable beast" Zephyr began to say, "though the beast has been injured, it does not stop it from being ferocious!" Zephyr continued as he looked over to Ion. Ion looked over towards Zephyr, "you are right on that one" he said, "the beast might have lost it's talon, but it still has it's fang and claw, we will continue one being ferocious, it is what Flint would have wanted."
