With a loud and bored groan, Aimy waved her hand and pushed out her qi, sending a wave of cold air blowing against a tree, quickly freezing it up, and then with another wave she had it shattering.
With this done she moved on to another tree to repeat the same process, not mind the destruction she was introducing to the innocent forest.
Around Irene were already several ice shards scattered all around, all coming from trees the woman had frozen dead cold and then shattered.
She was just about to kill off another tree when her sister's voice rang out,
"Aimy what are you doing"
"Ahhh, it's not my fault, I got bored" Aimy turned and quickly defended herself and then began stretching her neck, looking behind Irene.
"Where is Seth?"
"tchh" Irene hissed and began moving forward, "Let's get going."
"Huh, but of what of Seth," Aimy asked quickly following after her sister.
"I told him about our new route, but he was hell-bent on rebel hunting," Irene growled.
"Urghh, at least he's having fun, let's go meet him."
"No, I already gave him a rendezvous point you'll see him there"
"How long till he gets there" Aimy grumbled out her question.
"4 days."
"What, that's long"
"You're not some needy whore that can't do without a fuck, I won't carry you if you go unconscious "
"Hmm, I don't need you to, Seth will carry me," Aimy said and after that stopped her movement and plopped to the ground.
"What are you doing," Irene asked with irritation, stopping and turning towards Aimy.
"Well since it will take Seth 4 days to meet us. Then there is no need for us to move quickly."
"No we'll be moving quickly" Irene refuted, "let's go."
"No, why do you want us heading there immediately, let go find Seth," Aimy said, sitting up as she mentioned Seth.
"Urgghh, you're being all stubborn again, I thought we agreed that you would be obedient," Irene said, her eyebrow raised at Aimy.
To Irene's words, Aimy said nothing, her face twisting in a frown and then she muttered
"No fair."
"Don't worry, when we meet up with Seth I promise we'll have lots of fun" Irene said stretching her hand to Aimy.
Aimy, grumbled incomprehensively, muttering under her breath, but in the end, she reached out and took Irene's hand.
….
After traversing multiple similar but same terrains for up to 6 hours, the pair of Irene and Aimy soon found themselves, within civilization, presently in a small village, surrounded by a bumbling crowd of people as they sat under the roof of a two-story restaurant.
"This is good, the meat within is properly cooked and the flavor penetrated deep within it" Aimy commented, as she broke apart a shell on her plate and tenderly pick the pink flesh within.
She was just about to put this piece of flesh in her mouth when she stopped and looked at her sister who was sitting opposite her, her eyes staring into nothingness.
Aimy's eyes narrowed at her sister's action and making no ruckus, she went about silently eating her meal, several thoughts churning in her head.
Aimy and Iren had lived for several years, and as such Aimy had a good grip on her sister's behavior, knowing that the only time her focus-driven sister could ever faze out with such a blank look was when she was troubled.
"Now what she is worried about," Aimy thought, deciding to put her usually carefree brain to work.
"Irene!!" Aimy suddenly barked, shocking her aster out of her daze and putting her on alert.
"What is it," Irene said quickly standing up and looking all around only to find everyone in the restaurant looking at her weirdly.
An embarrassed expression came over Irene's face when she realized she had reacted for nothing, and she quickly sat down throwing her grinning sister a glare.
"What was that for?"
"Hmm, you were in a daze, what were you thinking," Aimy asked ignoring Irene's question.
"How we are going to leave Egaroth," Irene said but her words only made Aimy narrow her eyes at her.
"Since when did that become smoothie for you to worry about, you're lying," Aimy said.
To Aimeys words, Irene rolled her eyes at her and then asked,
"And what do you think I'm thinking about."
"Well for one, I believe you were thinking about Seth, more accurately, you were worried about him, what trouble is he in," Aimy asked, her tone softening as she spoke the last words.
Irene wanted to lie, but she noticed Aimy's trained gaze on her, her sister having already noticed the solemn look that flashed in her eyes, and in a bout of regret that suddenly took hold of Irene, she spoke.
"He is in big trouble, the life and death kind" Irene quietly said her head bowed.
Aimy eyes widen at Irene's words, her forehead scrunching in thought and then she asked.
"Why aren't you helping him, do you want him to die" Aimy asked.
"I have kids Aimy, I can't just go risking my life however I wish," Irene said.
Silence descended on the table after Iren's words, and then there was a heavy spike of qi. Irene quickly looked up only to discover that her sister was gone.
"Aimy" the thought went through Irene's head, and then with a fierce gaze she also shot off.
Thankfully both sisters were more considerate than their male partner and knew to control their steps, only entering into a tyrannical pace when they left the village.
At first, Aimy was up ahead, but then in no time, her sister quickly caught up to her, and then the next thing she knew she was slammed by the side and sent flying off her feet.
With a bit of effort, Aimy was able to easily land o her feet, and then she turned to her sister with anger.
"What was that for?"
"Where are you going?"
"To save Seth, what does it matter to you," Aimy said like it was an obvious answer.
"With your puny strength, all you'll do is become an additional body count.
"Thanks, I'll keep the warning in mind," Aimy said turning to keep moving but a long ice wall quickly rose in front of her.
"Are you dumb, you want to sacrifice yourself for him?"
"Yes I want to, but I don't think that's a concept a traitor like you would understand."
"Traitor" Irene repeated a bit of fear in her eyes buts he hid it.
"You knew he was in trouble yet you conveniently abandoned him to it, what else you are."
"So what if I abandoned him, do you think he wouldn't do the same to you," Irene said.
"If he would, you wouldn't love him. But then again perhaps you never did, else you wouldn't be worrying if he would reciprocate your actions."
Aimy's words had Irene's eyes turning red, tears threatening to spill out of them, but she held them in and shot back.
"So if I don't love him then who does? you?"
"Maybe…"
