A slight wind whipped around the boy, turning up his hair before it settled neatly down. When the spell was finished, Kosuke opened his eyes and turned toward the north.<span style="font-style: italic">So far away...</span>the boy thought, a sad, worried look on his face.<span style="font-style: italic">There's really nothing up there. He's the only human presence I can sense.</span><br/><br/>The boy gave a slight sigh. If he wanted to find the ranger, of course he'd have to go off into the mountains. He wasn't sure if it was even possible for him to catch up, but he was still going to try. And so off the boy went.<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>several hours of constant walking later, the boy had met with mountainous terrain. The ground was dirt and rock, with little vegetation. It was average temperature during the day, but as dusk approached it got colder. He'd long since pulled up his hood, as there was little cover from the sun here. Even though it was not hot, one could still get burned.<br/><br/>The real offender of mountainous areas however, was the wind. Wind was often fierce in the mountains, and it would blow up dust and sand. The hood did something to protect the boy from this. Every hour or so, he'd do another sensory spell, and adjust his course if need be. It seemed though, that the Ranger was getting farther away, instead of closer. The boy intended to keep moving until he caught up. Through the night if he had to.
