After being briefed of the situation, Sven lead Raziel back to his village while the others waited patiently at the first aid station.

The tribesman there had been excavating a small hole they had found that was the source of their cold weather. Now it was large enough to fit a person through.

"You know what to do assassin," said Sven. Raziel nodded and entered the hole.

Raziel made his way through the narrow tunnel and finally emerged in the icy realm of the ice witch. Vapor trails were flowing from under her throne to a number of tunnels.

The source of the cold weather, thought Raziel. He moved to an outcropping high in the ceiling of the chamber. He pulled out his crossbow and placed an arrow in its holder. He took aim between the witch's eyes and fired the arrow.

The arrow whistled through the air towards Gowrie. It froze in mid-air and stopped centimeters from her face, covered in ice. Raziel was dumbfounded.

The arrow was flipped around and was sent back to its source. Raziel grunted as the arrow pierced his skull. He dropped his weapon and began his descent to the ground below.

On his way down, Raziel's body was engulfed in a block of ice. As he hit the ground, it shattered and his remains vaporized into thin air.
