Draugrs and...?

The three walked for a while longer through the forest of dead trees hidden by the blizzard.

Following Elisa's directions, they could avoid most of the trouble.

"Anything on our way or getting closer?" Mark asked as his face turned back.

"Nothing as far as I can tell." Elisa answered.

She was seated on a fallen tree trunk. Krista was by her side.

"Mm. Too bad..." 

'Tsk. Wish he would kill them quicker.' Elisa thought to herself while watching the white-scaled Monster pulling its arm out of a huge polar bear's neck.

Mark walked towards the two.

"Do you enjoy making them suffer or...?" She asked.

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean? It's-" The look in Elisa's eyes changed, and Mark knew something was up.

Before he could realize it, she stood behind him.

"RUN!" Elisa shouted.

"Huh?"

The next second, something pierced through the snow a couple of steps away from Mark.
