Ho ho ho, this is fantastic!

Wendy strapped the bulging backpack over her shoulder, grunting at its weight. Behind her, a soft wheeze from Soos could be heard. She turned, jostling the bag of just about every single effective weapon against a demon you’ve ever heard of. “Ready?” Her breath visible in the blisteringly cold environment they were in.
Soos adjusted his hat, then smiled. “Ready.”
Wendy Corduroy and Soos Ramirez, world renowned demon hunters, fantastic friends, and an unstoppable duo, were about to do the impossible.
Defeat Gorgath, an ice demon who was terrorizing the inhabitants of Russia. They had been on his trail for months, until finally, he seemed to slow down, and they were at his lair(Thought Soos pointed out it looked more like a cave).
Snow. God, there was so much of it. It piled around them in ten foot tall chunks, towering above them as if they were the adults, and the two humans were pestering children. Inside the cave, thousands of sharp icicles hung menicingly above their heads, each frost-crunching step they took threatening to disrupt them.
“He should be around here somewhere…” Wendy whispered, Soos peering over her shoulder, flashlight in hand. A soft, almost inaudible hiss echoed in the cavern. They froze in their tracks.

Silent, Wendy reached into Soos’s pack and pulled out her iron knife, strapped it to her leg, then the holy water and salt, each container covered in binds and seals.
Slowly, a hideous creature revealed itself. Pockets of what looked like air rose and fell on its skin which was a sick greenish white, tinged with black. Horns curled along its head, it spread its long, tattered wings and settled in the center of the cave.

A small bundle burst against the demon’s head, fogging its vision with stinging mist. Wendy quickly drew the binding circle while Soos threw more of the holy water bombs.

“Now!” Wendy yelled. Soos ran backwards, and yelled the incantation in unison with Wendy. The demon growled and hissed, shaking the walls of the ice cave, melting and freezing simultaneously. At last, the shaking stilled, and the foul being lay slumped inside the powerful sealing and binding circle.
“You are quite the feisty one aren’t you Gorgath?” Wendy smirked. He hissed, only to be choked by the salt-holy water dowsed imprisonment he was trapped in.
“Uh, Wendy, I think we need to leave.” Soos’s wavering voice made Wendy twirl around to see the cracks in the icicles above them. They glared at Gorgath, who grinned widely at them.
The ground shook mercilessly, and the icy ceiling cracked and creaked loudly, popping and snapping. “Run! Go go go go!” Wendy pushed Soos in front of her, and they dashed for the entrance.
With a crackle all too sickening, a large icicle in front of the entrance, nearly crushing the two of them. After a flurry of smaller chunks of ice crashing onto the snow, they were trapped inside the now pitch black cave, a sinister air chilling them.
