Heavy rain pelted on the ground hard making it difficult to see, while a lone figure made his way braving through the rain towards a mountain, the skies rumbled above him before showing their displeasure by hurtling bolts towards him which the figure dodged easily.
A loud crack was heard as he watched a large landslide take place but it was not something that he would pay too much attention to as he knew he was high above the ground for it to make any problem for him at all.
He soon found himself entering into a cave, the inside of the cave was a small maze and following various twists and turned he finally reached his destination a large cavern with various small caves dug out of the like a beehive and in the middle of the cavern was a giant tree, he could spot various people inside the beehive-shaped rooms, some of them soon noticed him as they send him a greeting which he returned with a smile but he did not stop there his destination lay elsewhere, he went towards a particular cave as he entered a figure sitting on the ground opened her eyes as a smile blossomed on her lips, a smile that made butterflies flutter in his belly.
"Welcome back Ryuu, did you find anything interesting?"
Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "Nothing though it felt great to spend some time in the rain."
Frost Flames simply snorted at that as she spoke, "You really love rain."
Ryuu nodded as he spoke, "Yes I love the rain for some reason, after all, why would I not because under the rain was able to create my sword technique.", Ryuu frowned as he spoke, "But, still I would like some sun to shine every now and then, this place if too dreadful otherwise."
Frost Flames could not help but nod before she stood up from her place before giving a quick kiss on his lips, before her eyes then travelled to Ryuu's mismatched ones as she checked them before speaking again, "Your eyes are almost back to normal."
"Really?"
Frost Flames nodded at that as she continued, "Yes only if someone looks closely will they notice something different about your pupils, otherwise it is not noticeable."
As she spoke Frozen Ocean stepped inside the room and upon seeing Ryuu a small smile blossomed on her face as she spoke, "Ryuu when did you arrive?"
Ryuu turned to face her as he replied with a smile of his own, "Just now, how are you?"
"I am fine."
"Sister Frozen Ocean, I was just saying to Ryuu that his eyes have almost returned to normal, so can please check them for me."
Frozen Ocean narrowed her eyes as she stepped close to Ryuu before she spoke with a nod, "You are right until and unless someone does not look too closely you would not notice them."
Her expression relaxed as she spoke, "It was so scary for the first few days when it happened."
Frost Flames nodded at her words as she spoke, "You are right sister it was so scary seeing him collapse like that."
As Frost Flames spoke Frozen Ocean��s mind went back to two years ago when they were trying to move out of the eighth level, it was a frightening experience for them.
~Flashback~
Frozen Ocean saw Ryuu take a few steps towards the gateway when she heard a loud roar, a roar that simply rattled her bones, a flash of red light followed by screaming of Frost Flames, who was holding Ryuu who looked like as if a puppet whose string had been cut.
Frozen Ocean looked over Frost Flames shoulder who was trying to bring him back to the consciousness but failed spectacularly, she was not the only one who was worried, as his entire group of friends felt their heart stop seeing him collapse like that.
"Sister Frost move carry him over we can help him better, move him out fast.", as True-Spear bellowed out as Frost Flames quickly moved into action as she carried Ryuu into the Ninth Level.
None of the cultivators knew what had happened but a loud roar followed by a flash of red light had sent Ryuu comatose, as such they had all agreed that it was some form of trap that he had triggered which made him comatose and sick.
Ryuu had been running high temperature during the entire time as such the others quickly placed him in the most secure place they could think off, Ryuu had not only been the driving force but he was also the solver of various problems, not to mention he was strong an extremely strong cultivator but now all of a sudden he was comatose and no one knows when or if he would ever awaken.
Frost Flames sat by his side with a sad expression on her face, the others took turns to keep an eye on the duo and it just happened to be Zywia's turn.
Zywia sat beside Frost Flames as she gave her a hug, as she spoke, "How are holding up?"
"I do not know what to do, last night he had an attack from the poison, Frozen was here to help me but then I realized something dreadful."
A pit began to form in Zywia's stomach at that haunted look on Frost Flames face as she could not help but ask out, "What is it, sister?"
"Do we know how he is keeping the poison in check?", as Zywia shook her head Frost Flames continued with a dejected look on her face, "Then he might not last long enough to get help, I do not know what I should do."
Zywia's face turned deathly pale as the reality of the situation hit her, 'How is he going to survive when he is not even conscious without knowing the proper procedure we might not be able to help him.'
"Then what should we do?"
A teary-eyed Frost Flames looked up as she spoke in a broken voice, "I do not know what to do."
After a lot of tension, tears and frustration a month later Ryuu opened his eyes with a burst of his KI flooding the entire area, KI that seemed to be much stronger than before, forcing those that were near him to fall on their knees, but that was not the only surprise they had gone were the normal eyes were Ryuu in its place was the cold and uncaring eyes of a predator making many of them feel uneasy about it.
Back in the present Ryuu simply gave Frost Flames a comforting hug as he whispered in her ears, "I am so sorry I made you worry so much."
Frost Flames simply smiled at that as she spoke, "You do not have to apologize to me any more love, you have already apologized so many times already."
"Even then I feel it is not enough."

Ryuu frowned as he spoke, "To be fair the blood is so thin that I doubt anyone would have thought I would have activated."
Frost Flames simply smiled at that as she spoke, "Hmm whatever I believe your family would be jealous if they learned about it."
Ryuu shrugged at that as he spoke, "Who knows after all there are some who detest such abilities."
"Just forget about them."
"Ahem"
A loud cough drew their attention to a smirking Frozen Ocean who spoke with a smirk on her face, "Please there return back to reality oh lovebirds."
The duo blushed at that as Frozen Ocean gained a serious look on her face, "There is a small problem Ryuu."
Ryuu instantly gave her undivided attention as Froze Ocean continued, "Chasing Winds is causing trouble again."
A look of distaste went past Ryuu as he spoke, "Again, I thought that lesson would stick to her for some time but sadly it seems I was mistaken."
"Are you going to prank her again?"
Ryuu looked up in deep thought before he spoke with a sigh, "Last time what Sister Frozen Ocean and I did was a warning and I had hoped she would keep her head down but it seems I was mistaken as such this time instead of a simple prank she might end up having some accident."
Frozen Ocean nodded as she spoke, "I can easily arrange that, though it seems we have to do it soon."
Ryuu frowned as he spoke, "Why is that?"
"True-Spear spotted her using the gate to move to a lower level."
Ryuu froze upon hearing that as he spoke with barely concealed anger, "There is a chance that she might be consorting with the enemy."
"Or she might have found some treasure that she is hiding from others and is slowly trying to get hold of it."
Ryan calmed his anger as he spoke, "That might be true, but still…"
Frost Flames huffed as she spoke, "You are being paranoid."
"But healthy paranoia keeps the enemy away."
"True Frozen Ocean but how about this we spy on her and the first chance she slips we dispose of her."
Seeing the conflicted look on the duo's face Frost Flames spoke with a sigh, "We all have been through so much and now one of us might be betraying us, I know that it might sound foolish but we lost so many as such I wish to give even one of them the benefit of doubt."
Ryan slouched a bit as he closed his eyes in deep thought before he spoke with a sigh, "We will do as you say then love, but if she turns out to be a spy…"
"Frost Flames completed the sentence with a small smile on her face, "We will deal with the traitor with extreme prejudice."
