                The other man managed to take the arrow off his knee, and dropped it on the ground, making animal-like sounds while trying to get up. Aliana saw him and by mercy alone, decided to wait for him until he was ready. "Done?" She said as the man finally recovered his breath to attack. He grunted and rushed desperately in hopes of stabbing Aliana.... That didn't went well, he fell to the floor stabbed by his own blade. Aliana grabbed it and stabbed his stomach when he missed, all in a few seconds. Back to Mirghreel, the Snowter was about to clean the floor with him, literally. Mirghreel was on the floor, trying to get up, when the Snowter lifted his leg to kick his face. Mirghreel took snow, with dirt and threw it to his face, he started to take it out and slice his sword aimlessly, when Mirghreel did a barrel roll and punched his nuts....

               He almost went out of air for a few moments, he threw his sword to the ground, and Mirghreel finally took it and slashed the back of the man, then followed by a stab in the back, killing him.... Violently.... That was a lot of blood.... What a priest huh. Aliana rushed to Mirghreel and hugged him, then slapped him. "WHY ARE YOU SO FRIGGIN' IDIOTIC!? You could have died.... Asshat, *sigh* thanks for standing up for me though, you're one brave shit." Mirghreel saw her and said: "You're welcome.... And now my face it's more swollen, thanks."

               The people approached again, saw the bodies, thanked the ''heroes'' and told them they could go for free! Only if they let them loot the bodies, which Aliana and Mirghreel allowed with a weird look on their faces. So the trip would take a few hours, due to the caravans which have to stay close to each other even if that meant they had to go more slowly than an M'dir Camel from Lidingoth. Yet they couldn't argue or else, at least the ride was free, and it was safer than travel the cold roads alone... On the way to Murghal, they had to experience a small blizzard, completely stopping the caravan once again for another two and a half hour. It was getting dark already, so that meant they would arrive at Murghal by night, having them to stop at an Inn when they arrive...

            The blizzard was intense, there was barely anything in anyone's sight, apart from the back of every wagons. The wagon on the front though, had another idea, to continue... As the winds got stronger, they started to move, making them more difficult to maneuver. Aliana and Mirghreel went down the wagon, and started to pin it to the ground with a rope, in case the winds got so intense it could blow the caravan away. Aliana quickly got the rope, and knotted it to a fallen tree trunk and Mirghreel as well. The front wagon though, had no other way, as Aliana and Mirghreel got inside the wagon again, Mirghreel lighting up a fireball spell, the front wagon started lifting off the ground and crashed forcibly against a stone wall, it killed everyone inside on the impact. The winds got stronger, and the other wagons got closer to each other to make a small barrier against the winds. This kept going until night fell on Snowfell....
