Rumor shivered pulling the paper cloak tighter around his body as he made his way through the snow storm his eyes straining to see his goal through the white haze that obstructed anything for more then a few feet in front of him. Sensing something to his left he stopped and turned peering through the snow but still seeing nothing. Trusting his other worldly sense he moved closer to whatever it was and smiled happily as he felt the familiar tingling sensation of approaching a barrier. The closer he came to the barrier the warmer the air seemed to get and less violent the storm became and soon he emerged through the barrier into a wide open expanse. Much like the III branch there was a large protective dome over the entire area but this one was more otherworldly in that it was run by numerous magical artifacts. In the center of the dome stood a giant castle seemingly carved right out of ice. Above it floated four tablets that slowly circled the highest most tower of the castle. Each one was faintly glowing as it sent small blue bolts of power into the tower before they were shot up into the air and gathered in what looked like a giant floating disc. From there the power was turned into the barrier and came from the disc in all directions and slowly arced downward. Because of this the entire area inside the barrier was bathed in a warm blue light that made it look more unearthly.
Running forward Rumor jumped at the building landing gently on the side before scrambling up and grabbing onto the lip of the first roof and spinning himself over. From there he took off a canister of paper and threw it into the air letting it circle around the tallest tower before pulling it tight and swinging from the roof around until he was close enough to land on a window sill. Once there he pulled the paper closing it back into the canister and hooking it back to his belt as he dropped onto the floor.
"Dramatic as always little brother" a girls voice said from the other side of the room drawing his attention. There sitting in a chair sketching something in a book sat a small white haired girl who looked no more then twelve or thirteen. "For once I was hoping that you were going to use the stairs like a normal person"
Rumor laughed at that smirking at the girl. "Well I guess you forgot dear sister that I'm not a normal person and neither are you for that matter"
