Dear Ms Lady Demigod: Twelve Days To Doom

5 1 The Loss We Can't Cope With

The wolves were attacking them all at once, one of them bit Adelaida's hand,
"YOUR HIGHNESS!" Annelece yelled.
Nataniel ran at it with his spear and stabbed it to death, "ARIEL! MAKE A WALL,"
Ariel made a gold wall right next to Adelaida. Jevelene stood behind him, "The wall won't last long. Just try to kill them all!"
Belzebub, Leviathan and Paimon looked down at them from the treetops.

The skeletons peeped out of the ditch, "Ugh, I wish we could help,"
"I told you, I can't. They will kill me first if they see me," Happiness peeped outside with them, "None of them there is my demigod, so I don't care,"

One of the wolves jumped on Ariel's chest and pushed him down. He quickly turned his sword to a shield and covered himself with it to avoid the wolf's claw. He punched the heavy shield at him and got up. Then, he passed the shield to Jevelene, "Cover us,"
"Okay!" She held it and almost fell down, "It's heavier than I thought!"
And he was holding it with one hand.

He looked at the other side, "Nataniel,"
"Yeah?"
"Freeze everyone for ten seconds,"
"WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?"
"DO IT NOW!" Nataniel looked at the golden glow in his eyes.

"You have me!" His eyes glowed into a light shade of blue and turned everyone to ice, Adelaida, Jevelene and Annelece. Ariel ran towards them at his maximum speed and yelled, "Jump!"
Nataniel jumped and Ariel quickly pressed his palms over the ground, his hair turned golden with his eyes and all the wolves slowly began turning to gold as the gold wave made its way out of Ariel's body, "Wow, Ariel!" Nataniel landed but by then the gold wave had reached far away and soon the entire pack of wolves was turned to gold.

"UNFREEZE EVERYONE!"
And so he did. He turned all the golden wolves to a huge, cylindrical block, and Nataniel turned the ground to slippery ice, reducing the friction, they both pushed it into the portal. Jevelene looked at the huge block, covering half of the sky above her. 
"Even his companion is so powerful," Annelece said.
"They make a great pair," Adelaida smiled.

Slowly, the gold began turning back to wolves, "I can't...I'm getting tired," Ariel said.
"JUST A FEW MORE SECONDS, HOLD ON, AJAX!" Nataniel pushed with him.
Ariel gave the magnanimous gold block one last push and felt the dizziness taking over him, falling on the ground in exhaustion. But the block was all inside the underworld.

"You do the rest," Ariel said as he lay on the ice.
"I got you," Nataniel ran to the portal and tried covering it with ice, to stop the wolves from coming back.

"That golden boy," Belzebub narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ariel.
"That strength at such a tender age," Paimon praised him.

Nataniel looked at Annelece, "Close the portal, now!"
"I can't! I tried but it's too big for me to handle,"
The ice covering began to break open. Nataniel was losing his patience with him, he grabbed him by his collar, "CAN YOU BE OF ANY USE?!"
"I'm sorry! That's why I told you it's too dangerous!"
He threw him away, "We're gonna end up with even more demons in here!"

Jevelene looked at the portal, "Well, how about we try closing it from the inside? The underworld has no spirit energy at all, just a little bit of energy would be enough to overcome the environmental spiritual energy and close the portal,"
Nataniel looked at her.
"What? No! What about after it closes? That person would be stuck inside the underworld!" Annelece said.

"I'll do it," Ariel got up, stumbling on his feet, "I can do that,"
"But you have too little spirit energy to overcome any energy," Nataniel said.
"I'll go with you. You can use my spirit energy," Jevelene held Ariel's hand.
"Very well, so will I then," Nataniel held Jevelene's hand, "We will do it together,"

"I'll come with you," Adelaida walked towards them but Annelece held her back, "You are needed here, your highness. Alkinshime needs you to survive,"
The ice-covered over the portal burst open and Ariel, Jevelene and Nataniel walked towards it.
