The moon reflated sun’s light with almost it’s full capasity. It made Noorarie happy. Night would be greatly darker without the moon and hunting would be a lot harder task to do. The weather was almost perfect for hunt. If something, Noor would have wished for a little breeze of wind to carry her scent away.
She was kneeled down behind a snowdrift, all her muscles ready for action. Her eyes were staring at a young caribou on the side of the caribou herd. Slowly, making no sound, Noor pulled an arrow from quiver and placed it beside the bow she was holding. She tensed the string of the bow while aiming and waited patiently. Just when she was going to shoot, the herd noticed something and ran away.

The arctic tundra... why oh why... would an elf be all the way up here. Not even Kyocho could answer his own question. Something just... drew him to venture up this far and leave his kids at home. Every inch of the way he hopped Oak and Opuntia would get along well.
"I guess I could do some research up here while I'm here, but there aren't any plants neat plants to study up here, just grass... and weeds," The elf sighed. "I still have no idea why I came." The elf muttered to himself. Not realizing the herd of caribou that grazed before him. The thundering sounds of there hoofs echoed as they ran off.
"Oh... oops." The elf whispered quietly this time, bringing in his heavy down jacked in closer and snuggled into his warm hood.

Noor watched after the herd for a long moment. Then, she sighed. No meal from that herd. She stood up and walked away from her hiding place. After putting the arrow from her hand into her quiver, she started her way in hopes of new prey appearing in her sight soon.
She had walked for awhile before she heard sound. Someone was walking near by. Feeling unsafe, she pulled quickly an arrow from her quiver again. Keeping her bow pointing down, she moved behind the tree, surveying the stranger. He (Noor guessed he was an elf) looked relatively harmless but she decided to be careful anyway. Never trust strangers, so they say.

The elves ears twitched the sound of an arrow being pulled back on a bow shot through his ears. Who the hell could be all the way up here...
Kyo didn't feel any threat to him so he continued on his way. Kneeling down every so often to survey and plants he would see on his journey. A few bits of grass and weeds. Nothing extravagant to take note of. He took a handful of some kind of grass and ripped it from the soil carefully so that the roots came with it. There wasn't much to it, but it was enough to satisfy.
"Wow... this place is... fun." The elf nodded chuckling to himself.

What this stranger elf did, made Noor confused. He was studying one of those few plants and was holding it. The first thing that came in her mind was that he was pondering if the plant was edible or not. Silently, Noor thought it as odd and funny.
She was disturbed by a suddenly strong wind which seemed to appear from nowhere. Almost instantly, she felt something wet and flat slapping in her cheek from where it flyed away as soon as it had appeared. When she turned to see, she saw a leaf... no, the leaves whirling wildly in the wind and moving rapidly towards the elf. Without thinking, she yelped: "Hey!!!"

The elf quickly caught himself. The sound of her voice hit his eardrums before they ran through his mind. Quickly looking up at the origin. His eyes squinted as a shady figure was seen, but quickly he turned to look down. Something was coming.
"Crap.."
Kyo quickly darted for the nearest shrub or tree and hid behind it's form with out question.
"I come all the way up here to study the damn plants and a wind storm is about to blow through." He quickly looked towards his hands to see if the plant survived the trip, but to his sight it fell to the ground and was about to suffer the wrath of the ripping winds.
"Shoot..."
The elf pushed the plant out of his mind and his eyes shot to the corner of his eyes and stared at the origin of that voice.
"Who are you and why are you all the way up here?"

For a second Noor just stood there and blinked. She did not understand why he was angry but it was most likely because she didn't really spend a lot of time with other people. The forest was her home and family and she liked it that way. "I..." That was only thing she managed to say until she was disturbed by something.
"HELP!!!!" the voice inside her yelled. It sounded like a voice of little girl but when Noor tried to locate it, she found no girl.
"Did you hear that?" she asked from the elf before glancing around again. No girl was around other than she. The chilling feeling of worry crawled inside her and made her look like a mother whose baby is in danger.

Kyo silenced his mind and searched for a sound... but nothing. He couldn't hear anything other than the whistling of the wind. Maybe this unknown woman was going crazy... or losing her mind.
"I didn't hear anything!" The elf shouted.
But a tinge of worry dabbled with his soul.
"But... Something doesn't feel right. I think there is something else out here.."

"Oh!" Noor shouted back.
For a moment, Noor couldn't locate anything that could cause the 'help scream'. There was just she, the elf, the wind and couple trees here and there. None of these seemed to make the noise she had heard. Maybe it was nothing...
Then she saw something flying fastly past her. Quickly, she turned around to see it. It was hard to figure out what it was, because of snowy wind but there was something whirling in air, a little over the snowy ground. Noor thought she saw two small objects but she wasn't sure.
Then, she heard children's cry...

The voice caught Kyo by surprise. He heard it too... the sound of children.
"Now I heard that!"
The elf pierced his eyes to try to figure out where the sound was coming from, but there wasn't anyone else out here but these two.... the strange thing was that the sound came when the gust drove by. The elf watched the wind carry a few leaves and some debris between the two.
"You don't think that the sound came from what that wind gust was carrying do you?"

"I don't know. I guess."
Noor's eyes narrowed as she watched leaves fly further from them. She felt awfully worried and nervous. She just couldn't stand still and watching without doing nothing.
"We have to save them," Noor muttered before bursting after those leaves.

Save what? The leaves... but there just leaves...
Kyo quickly followed after her. He couldn't run as fast as Noor, but he managed. With all the winter clothing piled on top of him. He didn't care to much for the cold, so a little agility sacrifice wouldn't do any harm.
"Alright" Kyo nodded and kept his own comments to himself.

Noor was quicker than Kyo but she still had hard time catching leaves. Everytime she was enough near to catch one, it suddenly flew away from her reach. This happened many times. Once she even stumbled but quickly managed to continue race between leaves and them.

Kyocho watched the woman with a bewildered look on his face. Why the heck was she trying to capture these leaves? She looked to him as if she was playing some kind of children's game.
The elf shrugged his shoulders.
"As they say... when in Rome.." Kyo nodded and chuckled at himself and his lameness.
The elf ran towards the breeze and the flying leaves. Watching with his quick Elvin eyes. Kyocho quickly reached for the sky and lunged at the flying leaves. The elf grasped onto the stem of one and yanked it down and held firmly onto it.
"Hey look at that... I caught one"

Noor didn't have time to think how insane this all seemed. She simply followed her instincts that told her to catch the leaf. Maybe it was easier for her to believe in magic because she lived in wilderness and so, didn't know much of science. Or maybe it was because she had experienced magic in her life before. Nevermind of reasons, she followed her instints.
So, the elf managed to catch other of leaves. Good. Now, if only she would be able to catch that another one.
It was harder task than she expected. The wind carried the leaf fastly and always when she almost catched it, the wind changed direction. But suddenly, Noor got her change. She turned quickly and jumped after the leaf and surprise to her, actually catched it. When she hit the ground, she rolled few times, finally stopping rolling.
Just now, all emotions that have born during this wild race, swooshed on her. She felt exhausted, proud and sort of happy for catching the leaf. Also, now she the cry strongest than ever before. It was a panicking cry, like a child who just have experienced something scary and was needing for comfort.
