Sub-Zero Heart - Closed RP with mssilver
Howling whiteness swirled around the mountain's midsection, causing the entire world to become a blank slate of seamless marble. Perhaps if one looked hard enough, they may notice a protrusion of rock here or a crevice hidden away there, but virtually everything else was completely swallowed up by nature's fury.
Slugging his way through the blasting winds and deathly cold snow, Brendan re-tightened his face mask underneath his goggles, his breathing heavy as he attempted to derive what sparse oxygen he could pull from the air. If there was one thing Brendan detested, it was the cold. Having been raised in hot, humid Hoenn, his body was thoroughly unused to the extremely low temperatures.
However, when the mission had been released to search for an artifact suspected to be in Johto's freezing northern sector, the Ranger had volunteered, albeit hesitantly. He needed the experience after all, and thankfully Johto was not nearly as unforgiving as Sinnoh or northern Unova were. Nevertheless, Brendan hated every moment he spent out in the bitter elements, and therefore struggled on in hopes of finding solace somewhere further in.
While shelter wasn't exactly what he found, the Ranger did happen to notice a figure in black on the side of the almost undetectable path nearby. Doubled over, the figure looked like it was suffering from hypothermia, as the shaking was too violent for short term exposure. Worry hastening his steps, Brendan made as fast of a line as he could to the figure, attempting to shout out above the screaming storm.
"Hey! You over there! Over here!"
