Angel's mood took a large dent from that remark. She didn't say a word for hours and seemed rather down. She was heavily conflicted by her emotions, they were battling inside her already exhausted mind. The feelings of regret of her past, the way she feared for her future, and then somewhere in the middle was Aelana. She knew she could do nothing about the things she had done when her will was not her own, but the images of people dying at her hands were stuck with her forever. It made it seem like she was the one who did all those cruel deeds. Her future was quite grey as well. The former paladin was lost in doubt as to whether her own people would welcome her, and how they would react if they knew it was her. She would't say she was a famous paladin but she certainly had some talent for holy magics which was noticed by her superiours. And then there was Aelana, she seemed to be able to almost make her feel alive again, and how she welcomed that feeling. Then there was the fear of Aelana not feeling the same way.
Kitty realised the mistake she had made and was also quiet for quite a while, she saw what it did to Angel and apologised when she seemed to be doing a bit better. The white woman said that it was alright, she knew the death knight didn't mean to hurt her. Nightfall approached quickly and they had to find some shelter against the elements. Once they had settled in a cave that was apparently inhibited by some jormumgars, a kind of giant worm and caterpillar like hybrid combined with some creepiness. Clearing them out proved to be quite an easy feat, Orcash was quite saddened by the fact that they were no challenge whatsoever. Getting a campfire started this time was no problem, Orcash's attunement to the element of fire and the jormungar fat provided a decent albeit a bit smelly campfire for the two living beings to cook the meat they cut from the beasts on. Angel and Kitty tried some of it but it was not quite their taste. Besides, they hardly had to eat at all so they skipped this time.
After that night in the cave the group didn't experience any problems on their journey, both Aelana and Angel became more and more confused about themselves and caused them to not speak much. The weather had become better over the past days because of the fact that it was no longer influenced by the figure that sat so long on the Frozen Throne. For the first time in many years the sun broke through the clouds, the light reflecting from the ice as a result of thar was pleasant to see. When the three elves and the orc got to the mountain ridge however they were unpleasantly surprised when an avalanche hit, caused by melting snow. They were facing a massive wall of snow coming their direction, they looked to get out of the way but quickly found out that the avalanche was too wide to get out of the way from. ''To me," Angel yelled "NOW!" She had to act quickly or her friends would find their deaths here, buried under the snow. She didn't intend on allowing any of them to die, not if she could do something about it. She placed her arms under those of Kitty and Aelana, hugged them tightly and flew upward until her feet hovered in front of Orcash's eyes which were full of disbelief. "What are you doing down there, waiting for an invitation? Hold on already unless you want to die here, of course." Orcash grabbed the woman's ankles, his big hands having quite some grip. Angel surely felt those hands holding on for dear life, she wished he wouldn't squeeze so hard, though.
This was one of the few times she was actually happy with the body she had. She focused all her will in her wings to get up as soon as she could. While she was strong in this form the former paladin still had physical boundaries. Lifting this orc was actually pushing her beyond those boundaries, she had no choice here, however. She was surely pissed off at the fact that this shaman had chosen to master the fire element and not air, that would have made this a lot easier. She pushed herself to the extreme trying to stay above the snow that was now causing destruction beneath them. no sooner had it passed them or she gave in to sheer exhaustion of her body. She fell together with the others, landing in the soft snow.
