They eventually reached the tree that Summanus had spoken about however it appeared they weren't the only ones taking shelter. A bright red pair were doing their best to clear out the space around the fallen tree, making a snow wall to keep it from falling in the space under the tree.
"Morana looks like we're not the only ones here." Summanus said landing on a nearby branch, "Hang on... Angra? No... that's not him. Tail isn't right... but they both look like him.... and Bastion." He was looking at the bright red pair, a Soquili and a wolf. He hopped down the branch he was on trying to get a better look. "Do you see them?" He called out to the mice. He wanted to check to see if they also saw the resemblance and Morana wouldn't be able to answer since she couldn't see.
"Yeah we see it." Death to Sight replied taking in the pair with Red Death. The other two mice couldn't see them just yet as they'd have to travel to the top of Morana's head and they weren't doing that right now as there was a two mice up top limit that had been decided upon amongst themselves.
"Oh someone is already here?" Morana said her head turning in the direction of Summanus' voice. She then turned her head in the direction of the noise the other two had previously made. "Hello. Do you mind if we also shelter here? Mostly small ones and then myself." She was directing it towards the new pair however she was looking directly at a tree and talking to it instead of them as they were further away from it. It seemed to throw the other Soquili and the wolf off as they both looked at each other and then at her.
"Hello! Um... we're over here." The red Soquili called out trying to direct Morana's attention to her, "I certainly don't mind you joining us! More bodies mean more warmth, right?" She chuckled a little and looked down at the wolf. "You don't mind right brother?" The wolf huffed but shook his head showing he didn't mind. "See Rashn agrees. I'm Angerona and this is my big brother Rashn! We were caught by this blizzard during our search for our parents!"
During this time the mice directed Morana to face the correct direction and also describe the two. Indeed the descriptions of the Soquili and wolf sounded a lot like Angra Mainyu and Bastion... and Angerona's name sounded so much like Angra Mainyu. Did the boys have a kid finally? She knew that they had been trying with the spirits help but so far hadn't been lucky. But it didn't explain why the wolf was supposed to look like them too. "Nice to meet you Angerona and Rashn. I'm "Bringer of Plagues" Morana." She replied walking closer, "The bird is Summanus "Harbinger of Plagues" and these are my Plagues!"
Angerona looked surprised and a little scared and took a quick step back. "Plagues?! Are you all sick?! Maybe.." She was cut off as Morana quickly interjected. "No no no no. It's just a family tradition on names. We're all healthy. The mice are called Plague "Death to Sight", Plague "Red Death", Plague March, and Saint of Plagues "Valentine". But there's no plague beyond their name." Morana explained. Angerona didn't seem completely convinced but gave a small nod.
"You said you were looking for your parents?" Morana asked, "Do you know anything about them? Where they live? What they look like? Their names? Oh. If you could verbally reply I'd appreciate it. I can't see and if the mice have to whisper to me everything then I or they might miss something." She figured she'd quickly bring attention to her blindness so it wouldn't hinder any conversation. She moved to settle down below the fallen tree and out of the falling snow. It seemed to be a signal as Angerona and Rashn followed suit. Summanus flew in and landed on the ground, hopping to get closer to Morana.
"Oh you can't see? Wait... the mice tell you things that you'd normally see? They're like your seeing eye mice?" Angerona smiled at that thought and couldn't help a small giggle. It seemed like such a strange idea but it must work for her. "Yes we're looking for our parents. I've never met them but Rashn caught a glimpse of them shortly after being born. Plus I think the spirits gave him a dream or a sign about them. Right Rashn?"
"Yes Angerona. I was too small to chase after them but one was red like us with black wings and white markings. The other was tan with red on the chest and black skeleton markings and a strange tail. I don't know their names but the spirits sent me a sign that I had a sister not too long ago and that our parents were near here." He paused looking at the Soquili he was claiming was his sister and then back to Morana, "I set out to find my sister and found Angerona. It was easy to tell we're related because we look so similar. I guess the spirits wanted to play a trick on our parents by making one of us a wolf and the other a Soquili. Ever since then we've been searching together to find our parents."
Morana listened to their story and nodded. "Yes the spirits do like to play tricks or so I've heard. And based on what Summanus and the Plagues have said about how you look... I may know who your parents are." She couldn't see the surprised looked on the red siblings faces but could guess that there was one there due to the sudden silence from them both. "If you want I can take you with me as I'm currently traveling to where they are. Well... once this blizzard passes."
The odd siblings looked at each other, a silent conversation seeming to pass between them, before looking back at Morana. "Yes please!" They both replied happy to finally have a solid lead on their parents.
