I'm surprised to realize that, despite there seemingly no change around me,
I'm unable to move from the neck down. The air whistles and it appears the air molecules around me are actually frozen. Very interesting, but also slightly uncomfortable. "Ria... he's waken up."
The voice seems to have come from the person I threw my caltrops at, and I realize it's a relatively young girl, concentrating on me. She looked much different from the back, possibly because of remnants from the time amulet. Or, it's possible I was simply seeing things.
Another person sits up. He appeared to have lay down after my lower body was stilled. He glances at the girl, and then turns his attention to me, looking me over. "Who are you, anyways?" I remain silent for a few moments, but finally speak. "I am a modern ninja trainee, thus as of yet I have no true name. You may suggest a temporary name for me."
