Katya waited for the others as the fog thickened around her. Esperanza was headed her way, she could see that. But after Xavier had stalled, she couldn't distinguish much more than the outline of his figure. The fog was taking on an opaque quality. Katya had never seen a fog set in this intensely and this quickly. It was almost unnatural. Especially with the storm coming in. The damp mist clung to her clothes, the cold seeping into her skin. She was started to lose her patience. What was taking him so bloody long? They should be moving, finding shelter, before they were all wet, cold and miserable. Folding her arms, she thought she could finally see the Boulder stepping through the gates. It took him long enough.<br/><br/>He practically dragged Esperanza with him the last steps before they reached Katya, who couldn't help but be amused at the protectiveness in the large man. At least they had now caught up to her, but Xavier was obviously shaken. The large man barked at his princess to read a letter aloud. A letter not unlike the one she was carrying right now. Katya frowned, turning her head slightly as she listened to Esperanza. As apprehension built at the contents of the letter, her eyes narrowed at this new letter. Some of the words and names were similar, but this story was completely opposite. Fantastical even. Vampyres, poisonous<br/><br/>Esperanza started questioning Katya as soon as she had finished reading, but Katya was focused on something else. She was already moving closer, she needed to see this letter. Compare it to the one she had. Brushing up against Esperanza side she managed to look at the letter for a few moments, before Xavier interrupted them. The letters were written by two different people, even though they were signed by the same name.  She needed a better look at that letter, but she wasn't going to get it now in this weather.<br/><br/>"Let's move. Stick together.." She said, even knowing that was somewhat unnecessary as she was sure no one would be able to pry Xavier away from Esperanza's side. "Keep your eyes out for anything resembling shelter or a building." At least the path was a little better accessible at this end. Every step she could feel the forest floor getting softer and slippier from the rain.
