Nathan's POV:

"Likely."

"Mission accepted."

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan walked into the marble room with its glass dome rimmed with gold. The middle of the room consisted of a glass pane for the floor, showing a huge lake of water. Nathan looked up and saw Teufel and Daemon. He couldn't help but smile at his fellow warriors, as he motioned them to go.

Walking through the portal, the first thought came to mind: it's so quiet here. And slightly cold. Of course it was. A snowy landscape and a completely frozen body of water was where their destination was. Nathan stopped and looked around, looking for signs of any intruders. Daemon gestured Nathan and Teufel over. Nathan nodded as Daemon explained the plan. Nathan knew he wasn't back at full strength yet after the sealing, so he wouldn't be able to fight very well, but he had come for the mission anyway.

Teufel was on alert, her eyes scanned the area. Nathan knew she was very capable of fast paced action, and her teleportation helped with that. Her scythe was swung over her shoulder, and Nathan couldn't help but think that she was quite a scary person to mess with. He looked away and concentrated on Daemon, who was now showing a red Arc.

Nathan's attempt at concentration failed a few seconds later when a red and void black glade narrowly missed Nathan and sliced into the ice of the frozen water. All three warriors heard someone land behind them.

"Vlad," Nathan replied, looking annoyed, yet alert. Nathan knew Vlad was capable in his own way.

Two or three Spawn of Evils emerged from the trees. Out of the corner of his eyes, Nathan saw Teufel stiffen and unlock her scythe.

Battle was coming.

Nathan's hand went to rest on his sword on instinct. His senses sharpened as he eyed the enemy.

Vlad, who's menacing eyes glowed like the devil, smiled viciously. "Already trying to track me down? I'm quite surprised."

Nathan's grip on his sword tightened more as the Spawn of Evil closed in on them. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Teufel handle her scythe, ready to pierce Vlad at any moment.

Suddenly, the Spawn of Evil launched at Teufel and Nathan, giving them no time to react, but they launched into battle. Nathan blocked a hit from the first mob, and used his powers to enhance his speed and get a safer distance away from the mob to measure its attacks.

Nathan knew Daemon was in the process of fighting Vlad, but there was no knowing that he would win. Vlad was quite powerful.

Nathan grit his teeth as he launched an attack, and with his super-speed, he cut down the Spawn of Evil. He heard Teufel do the same near him.

Nathan slid his focus from the Spawn of Evil, and watched in horror as Daemon was flung onto the exterior of the frozen lake, injured, but alive.

Vlad, too, was on the surface of the frozen lake, but he had the upper hand. His powers allowed him to activate and strengthen his powers through the damage he takes, and he had turned all that pain...into the power source.

Nathan watched as Daemon pulled himself up. Nathan looked up and saw Vlad's glade aimed at Daemon with all the dark energy enveloping around Vlad. Nathan realized too late what this meant.

He heard Daemon yell, "Run!" and an arm grabbing Nathan from behind, and then the scenery flashed away in a glow of purple.
