Four figures dressed in green, purple, pink and black could be seen hiking up a tall but not overly steep mountain. With each step they took producing *crunching* noise due to the snow.

Violet, Elizabeth and Lily wore winter/ mountain gear, whilst Snake just had a plain black shirt, coat and jeans on.

"Snake, I heard you are interested in muggle books, what have you found interesting? Maybe I can lend you some of my collection" (Elizabeth)

" *Murmurs* Sneaky bit**!" (Lily)

"Snake, don't listen to that old hag, unlike her I know exactly what books you are interested in, scientific knowledge, 20th century history and a broad range of fiction right? Well, I have placed them in your dimensional storage, so when we get to a safe and warm place you can read them, teehee." (Violet)

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING AN OLD HAG? YOU STALKER!" (Elizabeth)

"Hmm, would it not be the one who uses language from a century ago? AND WHO ARE YOU CALLING A STALKER, BIT**! (Violet)

"Gahh, I kill you!" (Elizabeth)

"Aunty Liz, aunty Violet, please do not fight also thank you for the books I will definitely read them" (Snake)

The expression of Elizabeth and Violet became blank and they asked in a probing manner:

"Snake, may I ask who told you to call us aunties? We won't be mad or anything" (Elizabeth)

"Hmm, hmm, here's a piece of candy. Do you know who told you to call us aunties?" (Violet)

"Hmmm, it was sister Lily who told me to call you two aunties instead of sisters, something about age, birth date wrinkles, did I do something wrong?" (Snake)

"*Murmurs* Uh oh" (Lily)

"No, sweetie you did fine close your eyes whilst we punish a certain fox" (Elizabeth)

Elizabeth and Violet spun on the balls of their feet and gave a mighty kick behind them, a rain of profanity could be heard from a pink figure rolling down the mountain at a tremendous speed. 

"Will Sister Lily be alright?" (Snake)

"Yep, also remember to call us sisters, not aunties, not grandmas but sisters, ok?" (Elizabeth)

"Yep" (Snake)

"Good" (Violet)

A three hour trek up the hill brought them close to their destination, well at least according to Violet who had the most experience looking for sky snow. At some point in the walk Lily joined them with hardly a scratch or bruise on her, earning the ire of Violet and Elizabeth.

Later in the walk, the sisters began the objective given to them by Rex and the sisters dropped some hints and clues, leading the conversation to be about the topic of how Snake felt about Zylus's death.

After finding no signs of emotional instability like denial, anger or defensive rebuttal, it seemed Snake had accepted the death of Zylus.

Which made the sisters query whether Snake who was chronologically two, knew the full seriousness of life and death, good and evil. Snake's response was:

"Death is the end of life, to kill unprovoked is wrong, to steal is mostly wrong, and lying is wrong as well. However in some situations wrongs are right but almost all of the time wrong is wrong..."

Before Snake could conclude, a plume of snow exploded upwards and spun around a floating pink pearl creating a snow storm in the surroundings.

This floating pearl was their target, Sky Snow.
