Looking back into the square I rummaged through it once again.

My eye caught something very interesting. Picking it up in my hands felt giddy inside...

A beautiful face starred back at me. Smiling at that familiar face I kept touching my face as I felt that I were quite good looking. I might not be like the other five but at least I'm pretty to look at. I wanted to keep this. But when I felt how sad this person was for carrying around those lousy mana cores... I immediately felt bad for taking such an magnificent thing. I tried to memorize the materials by running my mana through it but it was quite difficult.. I did not know one of the materials used for this and I did not really want to experiment with it right now...

A sudden bright idea sparked in my mind as a smile spread across my face. Making a decent mana core I stuffed it down into the square as I took that plant thing with all the holes in it. I bet that beast would not miss this ruined thing as well...Using it I wrapped up my prize and shut the top down over the square again. Then I walked off while giggling about how smart I was while completely forgetting to bring the small animals that I've spend the whole day catching...

Soon the sky turned completely dark as only the moon and nearby clouds could be seen.

The evening was quite cold and the chilling wind made my skin hurt. A few hours after that started I finally ran out of energy as I wearily rested against a tree. The large piece of plant I used to carry around my reflection in was quite warm as I pressed it against my cold skin.

As I began to shiver I started worrying about my body. I've never really felt this cold before. Maybe it's because I used too much mana when I traded with that square for the my own reflection. The mana around here were much, much less than what I were used to. I had to figure something out quickly or something bad could happen.

Once again trying to get on my feet I fell down at once as my legs felt really cold. Trying once more I pressed against the tree for support as I tried to feel my legs. Getting a faint feeling I slowly took a step towards what looked like a cliff side for some shelter. But at the first step I took I fell down at once again. Lying on my back as the wind made my hair blow over my face I felt fatigued beyond words. I just needed some mana to get back... just a bit... of.

 

As my mind slowly clouded, I slowly lost myself to the darkness around me.
