It wasn't hard to notice that light came from the same direction as ice trace what still hadn't melted completely behind Salamenk. But as Dia went closer, air become warmer and ice started to melt, making path slippery. When she went out on other side of small forest, further on field large flame could be seen moving towards Dia and trees.

Dia gulped, then smiled. This was the other man in the story. She stood and waited for him to come nearer, and stopped him as soon as he was close enough.

At first there could be seen nothing except flames but they slowly died down as he came closer. His hair was white as snow but it always looked like fire reflected in them and his eyes was in golden red color, glittering like fire. His clothes was simple and black. As He kept his distance and stopped, runningfingers trough his hair, looking almost confused. Then he chuckled but said nothing.

Dia kept a safe distance, but came close enough to talk to him. "I have a favor to ask of you." she said. Then she blushed in embarrassment. "Uh... Sorry. My name's Dia. Pleasure to meet you."

"Well, you are bold," man grinned at first. "I am Oreher," he said after she had told her name.

Dia smiled again. "I called it absent-minded-ness, But it might be called bold. Anyway, I need you, if you would, to do me a favor." she watched him, putting her hands together as if she was praying or had just clapped, and gazing at him over the top of her fingertips.

"I am listening but I can't promise anything just yet," Oreher shrugged nonchalantly.

Dia smiled. "It might be better if you just follow me." She eyed him, her gaze moving up and down his body and face. "Yes, you seem right. Alright. This way please." she turned and began to walk towards the house, looking back to see if he was following.

"Na-a. I am not going what you want from me," Oreher shook head. "In these times you can't trust anyone, even pretty girls," he added with grin.

Dia turned back and frowned. Then her face lit up. "There will be a reward. Say... a princess in distress???" she knew how to write stories, and knew even more about how to tell them in a convincing way.

"I am no prince charming and princesses are fading kind anyway but..." Oreher chuckled and started walking towards Dia. "I will go. Just for laugh. And you will be sorry as never before if you have cheated me. I want to see a princess."

Dia smiled widely. <Well, if all goes well, she will be a princess to you.> "Thank you!!! Ok. This way." she urged him, moving them towards the house.

"Is there always such a strange frost here?" Oreher touched one of frozen icecles hanging down from branches and it started to melt fast. "I haven't seen it far from here but as we walk further it becomes stronger and stronger..."

Dia hid her smile well. "Not usually. That's partly why I need your help."

Oreher raised eyebrow. "My help? And what I could do about it?"

"Well... You... melt stuff." she explained, not really knowing what else to say.

"AND?!" Oreher stopped, folding his arms. "What is the meaning of this silliness? Alright, 'I melt stuff' as you put it but it can only harm someone, not help. I will not help you have revenge on someone."

Dia shook her head. "I can't really explain it. You'll just have to trust me."

<Last time when I trusted someone like her, i ended up in life threatening situation...> Oreher thought but restarted to walk.

Dia was already walking again. Soon they came close to the clearing, and she stopped. "She's in there."
