Assault

Elias and Valentin had been trapped in a snowy wilderness for weeks, battling monsters tirelessly.

"Do you see anything?" Elias asked from a dead tree branch. He looked around the area and sighed inwardly. He could not see any of those devious monsters.

Valentin who was standing below the tree scowled. "How could I see anything from down here?" he countered. "What do you see?"

Elias scanned the surroundings and sighed, "It is just snow." Nothing but snow.

Valentin rolled his eyes, growing frustrated. It had been weeks, and they had not uncovered the source of these elusive monsters. They not only had no leads but had also been busy rescuing people while fighting almost every day. He sighed in exasperation.

Closing his eyes, Valentin extended his senses again. Despite his efforts, he could still not feel a thing.

Elias broke the silence, "No progress?"
