[b]Chapter Thirty Two[/b]
Zane was shivering and his vision was black and cold as he awoke. As he opened his eyes and wiped the snow off of them, he saw that he was buried in a mound of snow. He looked around, and saw...nothing. There were lumps on the ground covered in snow, but the entire airstrip looked like it had been erased. Tywin's blast must have been that powerful, but where was everyone? Where was the army, where was Falk? The heavy snowfall made it difficult to see and the night sky began to rise from the dusk...
[spoiler]For Zane[/spoiler]

He groaned as he got up from the snow pile and crossed his arms together to keep warm. "God damn, dude really is insane....he cares nothing for the land or his army...."
-
As Zane looked around, he still did not see Falk. Where was he?
-
"Fal-" He coughed as he cried out for his friend. It seamed that he took more damage from the blast then he thought, so instead he manifested his aura and expanded it to search for his friend.
-
He couldn't see ANYONE in his radius. Not a single person. Is it possible that... Did Falk meet the same fate as his daughter? His body would not have remained. It would have turned to ash like Anne and Cyrus.
-
"Come on....you've gotta be here somewhere...." He turned his aura off and looked around the blast site, trying to see anything that stuck out.
-
Then, Zane thought he saw something on the road. The road had a steep drop to he left of it as Zane had seen when he first came in. It dropped off into a flat tundra that was surrounded by the neighbouring mountains.
-
"What could that be..." He started to make his way over to what he saw, hoping it would be Falk.
-
He saw something covered in snow. It seemed to be a person judging by the size and shape.
-
He began to dig out the snow, cringing from the pain.
-
As he dug through, he saw clothing filled with something. A person? It looked like it. It looked like one of the soldiers from the Coldbourne army.
-
He continued to dig out the person, regardless of who it was he needed to see if they were alive.
-
As he continued to dig and eventually turn the figure over, he saw that there was no man there. The outfit was stuffed with pillows and other items.
-
"Shit...." He tried to manifest his blade, but it wouldn't form. This was clearly an ambush, and he walked right into it.
-
Then, as he turned, he saw a figure leaping from the mountain. It came down upon Zane as the figure brought its arm back from a strike.
-
He rolled to the side, raising his fists in defense as he readied himself. "Who are you?!"

Edited by Inflatablepants: 5/22/2017 1:04:16 AMThe Nightingale Zane had met before rolled on the ground as he landed flawlessly and hopped back up onto his feet. He sprung his wrist out, and a small double edge blade ejected out of his wrist. It went past his fingers and it seemed to be attached to a gear of some sort. The same went with his other hand, and Zane noticed the man was fully equipped as he had a long sword sheathed on his back and two pistols on his calfs. "I, am the Master of the Nightingales. I have no name. You, Zane, are a traitor to the nightingales. Therefor, you must die." The Master said as he stood his ground. [spoiler]https://youtube.com/watch?v=-ApNYwM_pmI RED ZONE[/spoiler]

This was bad, Zane had already taken massive damage from Tywin's blast, and his weapons wouldn't form for some reason. He looked behind him and sighed, seeing his only option. "Sorry, I don't have time for this..." He said as he leapt backwards off the cliff face.
-
"NO!" The man yelled as he then rashly jumped after Zane and tackled him. The two crashed into the side of the mountain and rolled down. But Zane...upon contact with the figure...suddenly felt revitalized. His powers seemed to be ever present within him once more. ...why? The two crashed into the ground of the tundra. The black worn figure pushed himself up quickly as he stumbled somewhat.

Edited by SDK Zane: 5/22/2017 1:56:43 AMZane shook his head as he hopped back up, and formed Alex's Infinite blade into his hands. "Strange....When you tackled me you refilled my strength"
-
"Good. You'll need it." The Masted said cockily as he suddenly sprinted at Zane through the snow.
-
He filled his aura into the blade and slashed into the ground, creating a wave of power and sent it at the masked man.
-
He then flipped over the wave as it approached him. He landed cleanly as he continued his mad dash towards Zane.
-
He changed at the masked man, raising his blade for a heavy strike.
-
He then leapt to the left, making his way past Zane's blade as he finally reached him. The man thrusted his palm into Zane's side, and Zane felt the blade from the figures wrist punch into his body as the Master pushed Zane into the ground.
-
He grunted from the pain as he fell, and slammed his head into the masked man trying to shove him off.
