Demetri waves Cecilia, Jeryck, Aimee, Emilio and Nalin through the portal with ease. When it came to Lise and Magus that was another story.
Magus: Come on Lise we gotta get out of here
Lise: No, my friend you must go.
Magus: Lise?
Lise: I can not run from this any longer. Make sure everyone is safe in town. And when this is over we shall have the best party ever. I promise.
Magus: But how can you. . .
Lise: Just go! This is something Demetri and I have to face together.
Magus: I trust you Lise. Be safe my friend.
Magus slips through the portal just in time as the illusion of the castle fades. Demetri and Lise free fall to the snow below.
Demetri: Are you alright
Lise: Yes I-
The Ice Witch: Ahh There's my pathetic half blood niece. Look at you, soft as flesh. I bet you get cold like a human. What could you possibly ever do to defeat me.
