There was a deafening crash that could probably be heard from the town. Alato had finally finished manually chopping down one of the many evergreen trees in the forest. This particular tree was about 30 ft tall. Alato had put a spell on it to keep it from dying and so he could re-connect it to its base when he was finished. Alato was determined to bring something to this town and give these people something to finally smile about. Alato began dragging the tree towards the town, he had forbade himself to use magic to do anything other than to decorate or preserve the tree. "Heh, everyone's gonna love this."

Ali was watching Alato. "Well, if it isn't the man from the ring. What are you doing here?" She lept down in front of him from a tree that was a few yards away from the one he had chopped down. She was in winter clothing. She was wearing a thick elk cloak. Ali wore a thick bear-skin dress. Her boots were made of deer. She wore gloves made of the same material as her dress, and her hair was down in thick curls that had taken her forever to do that morning. She crossed her arms and shifted her weight to her right. Ali looked at the glittery blanket strewn over the forest as she awaited an answer.

"Well Mrs.Shinyskirt, I have a plan to bring some excitement to this boring-ish town." Alato continued to attempt to move the tree, he only managed a few feet every few minutes. "Ugh, this is harder than I thought..." Alato continued pulling. "Would you mind helping me a bit?"

Ali looked back to him. She walked toward Alato and grabbed the tree. She pulled with every muscle in her body. Ali watched as the tree began to move.

"Thank you very much." Alato continued pulling on the tree also. "Now a few more people and we can get this thing moving pretty fast." Alato began planning out what he would do after he got the tree to town. "Oh and please do not use any magic to help us pull the tree, it would ruin the meaning of everything."

Ali looked at him blandly. "I can't use that kind of magic. I only have defencive magic." She moved her eyes ahead. She kept her eyes on the fresh snow. An odd feeling washed over her. It was a feeling of warmth. She registered it as happiness. A small smile filled her face. "I feel... odd. Helping you is making me have a warm feeling in the pit of my stomach. Is it happiness?"

"Heh, yep, I've got it too. In other lands, far away from here, there is a holiday around this time of year. Nobody has ever successfully not been happy on this holiday. There was one man who almost made it but then he got haunted by 4 ghosts and they showed him his past, what was happening in the present, and his future. This changed the man and he was one of the happiest people that day." Alato looked at the snow then he heard something crunch. Alato stopped pulling the tree and looked around, he noticed a leg hanging down from a tree, wearing a very familiar pair of brown pants. "Nathaniel, get down from there and stop freaking me out!" As he said this Nathaniel Vrectes-Descrates jumped out of the tree he was in and landed next to Alato. "You want some help dad?" Nathaniel said, grabbing another section of the tree and beginning to pull. "Why, yes, thank you, and please, I may be your father but I am your adopted father, you don't have to call me dad, Alato will suffice." Alato began pulling again, they were really starting to get moving, but the town was still a bit far away, plenty of time for more interruptions.
(i would really like it if as many people as possible joined in on this RP. If it starts getting alot of people we can restrain from posting more than 2 times per 5 different people. We can make it work so feel free to join.)

Ali rolled her eyes. She didn't like the fact that there were more people begining to arrive. She looked at the new-comer. She sealed her mouth about the man, and kept pulling. They had a bit more speed than before. "Alato, I know of the holiday of which you speak. It's called Christmas. A fortune-teller told me of it."

"In the future, I can time travel you see, Christmas is celebrated across the world. Not just in a small section. Everything becomes decorated with Christmas themes, people are allowed off of work to be with their families, and people are all around happy. Even though it is supposed to be a holiday for a certain religion in those areas, everyone embraces it." Alato continued to pull the tree along, noticing how Ali hadn't talked to Nathaniel when he arrived. "Oh and Ms. Ali, I would like to introduce you to my adopted son, Nathaniel, I noticed how he failed to introduce himself." Alato looked at Nathaniel, expecting something. "Oh right, I'm Nathaniel Vrectes-Decrates, Alato's adopted son." Nathaniel leaned over the tree and whispered to Ali, "Don't ask, its a long story and neither of us like to talk about it." He returned back to upright postion and then reached across the tree with the hand he wasn't using to get a handshake from Ali. The three were nearing the town, but a there was still time for more interuptions.

Ali looked at Nathaniel. Once more, and no surprise, she didn't like him immediately. She grasped his hand, shook once, then let go. She turned her eyes back to the road. "My name is Ali Rosewood. Don't worry. I may warm up to you. I still don't like Alato, slightly. However, he is growing on me." She pulled harder, making the tree move faster.

a melodic voice came from the trees above them. 'Snow of diamonds come down now bring joy to my little town.' Estaye sang happily in the tree tops. She was always happy when it snowed. She wasnt sure why. 'townsmen sound the bells around, children watch all astound by the angels traveling down.'

A barrage of throwing knives land infront of where Alato was about to take his next step. A strange laugh can be heard from a tree. "So there you are. You're name is Alato, right?" A tall girl with bangs as silver as metal and the rest a deep shade of blue. "I want to make sure I know I've found the right person."

Alato was startled by the knives, mostly because one had stuck itself right in his shoe, barely missing his little toe."Yes I am Alato, and this is a tree." He pointed to the tree behind him. "And we are trying to get it into town, now what is your business with me?" Alato asked the girl. Alato was examining her to make sure he hadn't met her before when he heard a familiar voice singing somewhere nearby. "Oh Estaye! I can hear you singing, could you come here please, there are lots of knives and I fear someone may get hurt."

"Only person that'll get hurt is you if you don't come quietly. And I can see that's a tree you idiot. I'm not blind like my rock-hugging brother." The girl backflips down from the tree and lands perfectly on her feet. "The name's Piastol Omaru. You may know me as 'The Angel of Death."

Estaye jumped down from the tree and landed in the snow. she stood and brushed herself off. she wore her winter clothes long silver brimed robes. she wore a sliver long sleeved shirt benethe that with a pair of white thick pants and white fur boots. "Well, the first time we see each other in two moon cycles and your getting attacked by freaks with knives." she said with a smiled.
