Top of the Mountain

"Well now I wish you told us this sooner. You're our strongest fighter after all." I said.

Ichiro lifted his head from the snow and smiled, "I believe in the three of you. I'll catch up later so go on without me."

Ichiro had put his head back in the snow. I could hear him snoring underneath the snow. The three of us that remained looked at each other with worried looks.

"There's no way we can just leave him out here in the open." Alice said.

I was thinking that too but I didn't know where we'd put him. I shook my head and went to pick up Ichiro.

"Hot!" I yelled, removing the hands from Ichiro. When I had went to pick up Ichiro it felt like I had touched fire.

Akio and Alice both gave me a strange look.

"Wait, is he using a spell while being asleep?" Akio asked, touching him as well.

He quickly removed his hand and put it in the snow to cool it off. Well at least now we knew he wouldn't freeze to death up here.

"Ichiro told us to move on without him so let's go!" Akio said, running past me.

"Wait! Do you even know where we're supposed to go?" Alice stopped him.

I didn't even know where we were supposed to go.

"There's a small opening near the top of the mountain. Jump down that." Ichiro said before falling back asleep.

The three of us looked at him for a moment. Was he even asleep?

"Uh, let's go there." I said, not sounding too sure of myself.

We all began to run towards the top of the mountain. Thankfully Ichiro got us really high up so there wasn't much climbing involved. Before we knew it we were at the giant hole. I couldn't even see the bottom of it.

"Alright guys, let's jump on my mark." I said.

Before I could even ask if they were ready, Ichiro jumped down which was followed by Alice jumping down as well.

"Or not…" I said, jumping down the hole.
