Ash had gone for a simple walk, he was well fed so he didn’t need to hunt at the current time. Simply enjoying the snow and the trees, winter being close to autumn as his favorite season. The colors never ceased to amaze him.
Everything happened so fast. He was at peace one moment then on the ground the next. His head nearly severed from his body, by a silver wire still wrapped around him, in a vain attempted to kill him. His throat was the worst, he failed to notice the gashes littering his chest, a silver spike piercing his heart, holes in his wrists made by the same silver stakes and various other attacks. His energy spent as he struggled to stay alive.
All he could feel was the cold, helpless as he watched the copper substance that was his blood taint the white around him. He didn’t know how long he lay there, hours, days, he didn’t know. Barely registering his dear one close and begging for him to stay. He opened his mouth to respond, but no words, only blood. He was barely there.
Talking with her underlings, they had set up a sort of base camp in the woods. Being nomadic since leaving their home, she did what she could to help them. That is when she noticed an oddly white serpent slithering at astounding speeds to god knows where. Recognizing it as one of Orochimarus, handing over control to someone else as she left to pursue the snake.
Bending to snatch the snake form the snowy floor, wrapping the chilled reptile around her neck. Quietly asking it what was wrong, if it was Oro or Ash, if they were in trouble. Confirming her fears, she took off in the given direction. The snow hindered her ground movement so she took to the trees, flying through the branches towards her beloved friends.
