Night 59: North of the Institute

"It's this way," the assassin called out to his side, his eyes attempting to focus on the darkness before them. They had made it to the forest fast enough when he had been traveling with Sora, which meant it shouldn't be much an issue with someone as fast as Zanuff was. "Down and to the right."

Somehow, the area felt just as cold and empty as it had three nights ago. It wasn't empty. He wasn't that gullible to believe that--he could feel something here. But the darkness covered just enough of their surroundings to make it appear as nothing more than a desolate, snowy wasteland.

They couldn't stay out in the open for long. Which meant...

Nngh...

It was with great hesitance and great annoyance that Venom found himself moving to grasp onto his company's wrist. "Hurry."

In the end, Sora didn't have that difficult of a time keeping up. He had traveled in the rain before, though he couldn't say he was a big fan of it. Rain had been so rare on Destiny Islands, and when there actually had been a storm, it had been for a reason. Sora didn't know what to make of that night at this point. It had marked the start of his journey as Keyblade Master, but it had also been the day that he'd lost his friends.

He had them back now, but he couldn't help but think that they were always going to end up separated. Sora would be scared of that possiblity until the three of them made it back to the islands. Kairi wasn't even here with them right now, after all.

Riku's question cut into his thoughts and Sora was quick to grin even as his sopping wet hair dripped down onto his face. "Bother me? Why would it? C'mon, let's go!" As if to prove that he had no problem with this, Sora broke out into a jog until he reached the edge of the wall and turned, hitting the east wall of the building.
