The snow around them rustled and shifted. Rising from the frozen sheets were decaying the corpses of the undead, roused from their slumber by the presence of the two living beings. They shambled to their feet, numbering too many for Elisette to fight off. Nick was a little disturbed that his premonition vision was correct down to the small details. Although, there was that maid dress...

[quote=Elisette]“Wah! They just popped outta the ground! I don’t think zombies are flowery enough for that! There’s a lot of em too! Is it zombie season or something?!”[/quote]

Elisette's crude humor aside, she drew her sword and stood to Nick's defense. Although, that might not mean much considering they were about to be surrounded. They may just be zombies but Nick still wished he had a weapon on him. The broken sword he had way back when was lost when he... simply left it back in the snow, believing it wouldn't be needed anymore. What a foolish decision, Nick thought himself.

[quote=Elisette]“Nngh, alright we need to get to the village. We can probably hide there! Don’t fight unless you have too!”[/quote]

"[color=skyblue]I couldn't fight even if I have to![/color]" Nick replied, watching the undead come closer and closer to them.

Elisette took down a zombie lunging at her, sidestepping the lunge and bisecting the undead into two with her large sword. Another went for Nick, who imitated Elisette's moves to evade it. But lacking a weapon of his own, Nick simply kicked the zombie down back into the snow and quickly followed the warrior woman as she cut a path through the horde into the village. He wished he could have been more help to Elisette but right now, all he could do was kick or push away any zombie that got too close that Elisette didn't dispatch.
