An Idiot, a Dragon, and Some Rock People. (PM to enter)

[Ruby Rose]

Sorry about controlling your characters a little without permission. I just wanted to use it for the diary-writing scene to add a bit of depth

PAGE 7

Rin was sooooooo nice! He tore a piece of his shirt off (probably rather unnecessary) and used it to bandage up my knee, before helping me up. I held onto the boy's arm and let him assist me. The scrape was worse than it looked, and it wasn't just the flesh; the joint felt like it'd been smacked by a brick! It was very gentlemanly of Rin to help me out.

Before long, Rin brought up a much-needed question; how close were we? Shulk mentioned that we seemed to be rather high, and I nodded in agreement. "I guess we'll just have to keep going if we want to figure that out!" I replied, still energetic. I managed to refrain from jumping to accent the point; that would have hurt my knee. I nodded to Rin to keep going, the boy still supporting me while I limped up the mountain.

The air began to grow thinner, and not to mention hotter. Our breathing became slightly more sharp as we traversed the path, dodging cracks and ducking around giant boulders. It was quickly becoming harder and harder to tackle the colossal spike of rock, and eventually I piped up.

"Hey... Guys... Mind if... We take... A breather?" I asked, huffing and puffing. Rin seemed to agree and set me down on a small stone pedestal nearby, and I pulled out my diary, beginning to write this entry in it...

Rin's eyes watched Ruby's pen fly across the small pages of her red and black diary with curiosity, while he crouched down beside her to catch his breath himself. Shulk looked over the edge of the mountain, his mouth gaping at the altitude they had arrived at.

"What's that for?" Rin asked, making an attempt at starting a conversation. Ruby clicked her pen and placed it on the lined page she had written half-way on, before turning her eyes to the demon.

"It's a diary I'm using to keep track of my travels here." She replied, smiling softly. "Finding
Omni and getting answers is my main priority, and I think that if I keep track of things, I can look back and find clues. Eventually I'll find something that will click, and I'll be on my way." She finished, and Rin looked awestruck, but also slightly disappointed; he didn't want Ruby to just up and leave, it seemed. "But I may as well have fun while doing it hey?" She added, and Rin expression changed back to awestruck.

"Judging by how high we are, we have to be close. The question is, is there an entrance, or do we just waltz up to the top...?" Shulk soliloquised, before turning to the other two. It was then that he noticed the diary the two were leaning over. "Hey, what's that?" He asked, and Ruby and Rin's faces fell in disappointment.
