*Oddly the serpent kept its distance as Makimi grew weaker. She felt cold, like she had been in cold water for too long and began to go into hypothermia. Little did she realize the serpent had a unique venom that was affecting both her and the Vicar.*
Viola
*Knowing that the battle was lost, Makimi put her sword back in its sheath. All she cared about now was shielding her dying friend from the cold. Makimi held her close, turning her back to the monster, her eyes shut tight.*
Heidi
*The serpent was about to strike when Vicar Kassandra casted "Cure Poison" On Makimi.*
"LIBRARY NOW MAKIMI!!!!"

*With last bit of her strength the Vicar charged at the serpent as it struck at her with frightening speed. The Vicar's sword shimming a brilliant light as she impaled the serpent's head while it clamped down on her torso at the same time ripping her in half. The serpent screamed in agony before falling to the floor lifeless. When the serpent died, all the ice creatures in the Cathedral crumbled to the floor and shattered into ice chunks.*
Viola
*Makimi leapt to her feet, feeling stronger than ever, as though she had a fire in her soul. She obeyed Kassandra right away, not daring to look back as she sprinted up the stone steps to the cathedral's library.* "Thank you, Kassie..." *She whispered to herself as she ran.*
Thomas
*Makimi would find she is the only one left alive. Corpses of both nun and creature were strewn all over this once holy sanctuary. The library would contain the last of the Sisters of Battle spell tomes. Some of the nuns tried to reach the library during the catastrophe but were impaled in the back by ice shards. One managed to clutch such a book with her final moments. She too was face first down on the stone. Impaled by ice just like the others.*
Viola
*The carnage all around her was like a punch in the gut. All she could feel was an overwhelming heartbreak, the kind that causes both emotional and physical pain. With shaking hands, she took one of the spell books off a nearby shelf, hugging it to her chest.*
Thomas
*The Sisters of Battle were no more. A whole entire section of the holy arts wiped out in a single onslaught. Now The Sisters of Battle will live on in Makimi should she choose to preserve and learn their knowledge.*
Viola
*Makimi picked up as many of the spell books as she could carry and carefully put them in her bag. With the cathedral's front door in ruins, this place was no longer safe, and she had to find a new shelter before she even attempted to learn a single spell.*
Thomas
*As she was doing this. She heard... Skittering. And a weird noise that sounded a lot like chattering of teeth.*
Viola
"Hello? Can anyone hear me?"
Thomas
*Even more sounds that we're coming from the sanatorium of the Cathedral. Makimi would now start hearing voices but they were so frantic that she couldn't make them out. She would have to get closer to the sanatorium.*
Viola
*Makimi hurried downstairs towards the sanitarium, the spell books tucked safely away in her bag as she made her way towards the sound.* "Help me! Please! There was an attack!"
Thomas
*Now she could hear the voices clearly and the sound of armor moving.*
"What-what? Things still living-surviving. Go find-find and kill-murder thing!"
Viola
*Clearly, this was not what Makimi had expected to hear. These people were here to rob her, not rescue her. Still, what other option did she have? She stopped where she was and held up her hands in a show of non-violence.*
"Who is there?"
Thomas
*She would hear the clanking of armor coming ever closer in a slow manner. The air grew foul with death and decay as the clanking of armor approached.*
Viola
"Please... I need your help... Everyone else is dead... I just want to get out of here..."
Thomas
*To her dismay 2 7ft tall creatures wearing dark green and black armor swung down their halberds at her.*
Viola
*Makimi rolled out of their way, her lack of armor making her nimble and light on her feet.*
Thomas
*The two were upon her again. Swinging their halberds downwards attempting to strike her shoulders.*
"Die-die!! Weak-frail thing, hmm, hmm, me-me hungry-starving."
Viola
*She continued to duck and dodge around the creatures, but the slippery floor was making things tricky.* "Stop trying to kill me and I will get you some food!"
Thomas
"Wait-wait." *One of them said.* "What-what? You give us food-sustenance?"
Viola
"Well of course. Winter is hard. We need to work together if we want to survive. You take me somewhere warm, and I will share my food and hunt game for you."
Thomas
"No-no. Weak-frail thing tricks us. Kill-kill thing. Yes-yes!" 
*The two began their onslaught again by taking their pointed ends of their halberds and began attempting to stab Makimi.*
Viola
*Makimi sighed and continued to dodge out of the way, then pulled out her holy sword, but instead of slicing or stabbing, she used it to whack them again and again as if it were a steel club.*
Thomas
"Die-die!" *One of the two used his bare tail that resembled a rat's to attempt to make Makimi trip by grabbing her ankle.*
Viola
*Makimi fell hard onto her back, and her bag opened up, some of the food stored inside spilling out*
Thomas
"FOOD-FOOD!!" *They stared at Makimi for a minute.*
"Run-scurry, weak-frail thing. Before we-we change our minds."
Viola
*Makimi stared at the two, then reached into her bag and pulled out a loaf of bread, splitting it in half and holding out the pieces.*
"There is enough for all of us..."
Thomas
*The two ratmen grabbed their halberds.* 
"Weak-frail thing runs-scurry's or we kill-kill it."
Viola
*She set the bread down by the rat's feet, still smiling up at them*
"Kill me now, and you go hungry. Let me live, and you will have bread enough to last all winter."
Thomas
"Last chance-chance. Flee-scurry or die-die." *The two stood up, with their halberds ready.*
Viola
"You are so cute when you are angry!"
Thomas
"Die-die!!" *The two began their onslaught again swinging downwards at Makimi attempting to split her skull open.*
Viola
*Makimi rolled out of the way, then attempted to use the hilt of her sword to knock both of the rats unconscious.*
Thomas
*Her hilt the nearest Stormvermin's helmet disorienting him while the other one continue on attacking her.*
Viola
*Makimi ignored the other rat, focusing all her attention on the one who was still standing up.*
Thomas
*The other Stormvermin was slashing downwards with his halberd and then swung it back up to catch her off guard then do I jab at her stomach with the pointed end of the halberd.*
Viola
*Makimi was hit hard by the pointed end of the weapon, and she fell back against the wall, clutching her stomach.*
Thomas
"Now you die-die, weak-frail thing!" 
*The Stormvermin attempted to plunge the pointed end of the halberd to impale Makimi's chest.*
Viola
*Makimi ducked to the side and, with one swift blow, hit the rat man in the head with the butt of her sword as hard as she could*
Thomas
*The Stormvermin slumped to the ground, unconscious as the impact the sword hilt did to his helmet. The other Stormvermin was still disoriented but conscious.*
Viola
*Makimi crept up behind the creature and shoved him into a nearby stone pillar.*
Thomas
*The Stormvermin was pushed into stone pillar which made him bang his head on the side of it, also knocking him out.*
Viola
*Makimi took a few minutes to bandage up her wounds before checking the rats' pockets for anything of value.* "Vile creatures"
