               They put their plan in motion, first they approached the icy shores carefully, and kept their eyes on their surroundings in case something happened, the fishermen's event was far away now, so there was no peril whatsoever for anyone else than Aliana and Mirghreel, in the small island... Daermorahs don't always feel hungry, unless they felt something or someone powerful or ''delicious'' nearby....

               When they were close to the door, they started taking out the bars that blocked the doors from opening, there were 4 bars sealing the mound, when they took the second one... The demon attacked breaking the other bars and sending the duo flying through the air until they hit the icy floor. The distance between the shores and the doors were not so far, so they hit the icy shores, cracking the floor to their possibly icy death.... They now had to stay frosty.... So they don't crack the ground beneath them. The demon rejoiced: "ANKHEL." He constantly said as he approached the cracked shores, floating in midair.... There were some zombies who couldn't stand the cold weather and immediately froze to death.... Again. "Fools...." Said the demon once more.

                "Hey asshole!" Aliana yelled, taking the demon's attention.... Mirghreel was embarrassed but took the chance when Aliana winked him, as the demon thought he was dead.... Mirghreel started moving slowly, not to draw unwanted attention, as Aliana continued to yell weird stuff to the Necromancer.... Mirghreel took the opportunity when he was behind it, and threw the holy water.... "The bastard was going to die!" thought Mirghreel....And honestly Me. Except.... That he didn't, it made the opposite, it was burning, the bones of his back were visible.... It was disgusting, but.... He was still in midair, angrier than before!

Aliana took out the bow and shot some arrows, one through its skull and another to the heart. The fucking dude was still up! So... I decided to take matter into My own hands.

                        But not now, I wanted to see them fight, Aliana quickly fired another arrow, to the throat, I don't know why or how but this particular place of its body hurt like hell to him, as he was agonizing Mirghreel threw some other holy water to the face of that thing. Then kicked it in the stomach, the creature fell on the icy floor, Aliana rapidly handed Mirghreel an arrow, Mirghreel took it and with extreme force stabbed the demon on the top of his head... The force was so immense the floor beneath them broke and the demon fell to the cold water, it wasn't long until it was frozen since it stopped struggling from the blood loss. Aliana and Mirghreel cheered in victory, when the ice of the floor cracked once more and let out the Inner Shadow of the demon out if it. The Shadows were the entity themselves of the demons, without limits, extremely powerful, not a second passed when it crippled Mirghreel and sent Aliana's bow flying far to the icy floors...
