Ezra and the rest of the team didn't have anywhere else to go they were blocked in front of them Delilah the bear was growling and staring at them like a hawk, making certain that if any of them dared to make a move it didn't matter which move if they flinched, sneezed or even took one breath it would be over for them and right behind them were infants who were hovering behind them so inpatiently they couldn't even bare not having their way with them.
Ezra and the rest of the team gathered around each other forming a circle others were facing Delilah the bear and the others were facing the infants.
"What are we going to do?" Damian asked.
While they were keeping watch they were changing their direction if Ezra and Valkyria faced Delilah the bear and Damian, Jason and Sarah faced the infants they would switch to make sure that they don't make any mistake.
"I think we can take them" Valkyria takes out her bow and arrow ready to shoot.
"And what gives you that idea?" Jason asked.
While the team was now bickering with each other someone stepped forward this someone was the one with Delilah the bear, he was dressed in a black long cloak you couldn't see his feet, his face was covered in a black veil like the one Ezra saw at the memorial service and he was walking with a wooden stuff made from a rare beautiful tree with a carving of a snake hovering two naked individuals a man and a woman.
"That sounds like a good plan doesn't it? Taking us out but there's a minor problem with that plan of yours" the person's voice was deep giving this uneasy feeling that sent chills in your neck.
"Oooh evil dude is saying something" said Damian.
They all stopped bickering and stopped switching sides and they all just looked at this person, and they just stared at each other.
"Who are you?" Valkyria prepares to shoot.
"Don't waste your arrows child like I was saying there's a minor problem with your excellent plan" the person said.
"Yeah what problem is that?" Ezra asked.
"Hello Ezra we finally meet face to face" the person said with satisfaction.
"Who are you?" Ezra feeling a little discomfort.
"Oh where are my manners I'm the one they call the Fallen" the Fallen introduced himself.
The moment he called out his name the atmosphere changed into something else it gave this feeling of fear and sent out this zero degrees cold down to everyone.
"Guys!" Sarah couldn't stop shivering.
When they looked at her they saw Sarah slowly turning to ice from bottom to top.
"Guys!" Jason looking at his own hands turning into ice.
"What do you want?" Ezra was starting to get angry.
"Easy Ezra I have no evil intension to harm anyone of you, yet" the Fallen informs them.
"Enough of this" Valkyria lets her bow go which unleashes her arrow and it shoots straight for the head of the fallen.
"Well isn't that impressive" he blocked it in mid-air with just his finger "the bow and arrow of Faith I must say really impressive, but I must say it won't do any harm or damage to me" he said.
Valkyria's arrow turned into nothing right before her eyes, she was left speechless for someone who has a lot of courage and bravery. She found herself shaving with fear which made her to become ice slowly too.
Damian took out his sword and his fiery flame was back he tried to melt the ice off his turning teammates but it was no good. The flames were also becoming ice.
"Any luck?" Ezra not taking his eyes of the Fallen.
"It's no use" Damian now also shivering with fear and also turning into ice.
"Hah! hah! hah! It's no use Ezra it doesn't matter which weapon you are going to use against me but know this all your weapons are useless to me" said the Fallen.
Hearing that made Ezra doubt himself for a split second he was vulnerable and Fallen saw that opening and took opportunity. The infants were becoming more and more restless.
"Not now my children this is about to get interesting" Fallen comes closer to Ezra who was the only one who wasn't becoming ice just yet. He sniffs him "ah I take it you've been rejected too bad cause I was planning to have entertainment with you" he said.
Being that close with someone he knew he couldn't take even if he tried, deep down Ezra knew that this wasn't going to be like exposing Delilah, taking out half of the demons in his return to the Holy Place, fighting with Silas and having a make out session with the blind beautiful woman. This was more powerful than he can comprehend.
Fear flooded him like he was just hit by an ocean wave, and he saw his own legs turning into ice, he pushed Fallen away from him and he stumbled back but Delilah caught him. That gave him enough time to take out his sword before his hands became ice too.
"Impossible!!!" Fallen shouted the moment he saw Ezra's sword.
Ezra's feet started to return to normal his sword was emitting black steam and Ezra held on it too tight, even though he couldn't see the Fallen's face. He could tell that he was somehow afraid of the sword.
Ezra pointed it to him" Now whose the one turning into ice" he pointed out.
Why of course he was lying the Fallen wasn't turning into ice, he just got in his head. Fearful for his life.
"What are you waiting for attack!" Fallen ordered the infants.
Ezra now all alone he wasn't sure if he could even take out the infants all by himself after all his teammates were frozen.
"Drive the sword to the floor" something whispered.
Ezra now familiar with the voices he did exactly that he stabbed the floor and the black steam emitting from the sword was sent like a wave vibration everywhere.
