The confrontation between the demonic beast and the young couple continued; at a certain point when all the Null portals just exploded and others were just about to appear Elsa saw the opening that she needed and created a slide for both young women to slide, Honeymaren taking Elsa by the waist and the latter creating the next part of the slide as they fell; Null's tentacles rushed towards the structure, but were unable to close themselves on it by the protective magic that Honeymaren had put around thanks to the Eye of Agamotto.

"I'll try to make elongated, circular shapes, we can buy time to think before touching the floor!" Elsa yelled.

"Perfect idea!" Honeymaren shouted in response.

A few seconds passed as the young women glided to the floor on long shapes to gain as much time as possible, when Honeymaren had a new idea.

"Elsa, take us back to the tower!"

"Are you sure? didn't we just leave it because it was dangerous?

"Yes, but now I know what to do, I have a plan."

"Understood!" Elsa said determinedly, as she was fully confident in her partner.

After a long turn to take momentum Elsa created a diagonal exit that would throw them through the air towards the tower.

"Ready!?" Elsa asked.

"Yes! Honeymaren shouted as the cloak nodded with the ends of the neck and soon the young women were shot to the air, Honeymaren took Elsa firmly as she started flying and in a few seconds they were back on the tower they had just left.

"Here they come again." Honeymaren said, watching the beast's tentacles trying to wrap around the structure.

"It knows about the thorns, it has probably used magic to harden its outer layer, you'll have to use more magic to hurt it." Honeymaren said.

"Don't worry, I will, how will you take care of the portals?" Elsa said, as she began to create sharp spikes around the tower, which damaged and infuriated Null.

"You'll see." Honeymaren said, rising in the air as they started appearing and then projecting a large number of images of herself. soon Null's dark arms began to appear through all the portals, which now surrounded the tower, but each of Honeymaren's mirror copies possessed magic and as soon as the arms came out they opened another portal in front of Null's to get them into it and get out where she wanted, diverting them at will; soon the portals made by Honeymaren were dozens, and Null's arms, having fallen entirely by the young sorcerer's strategy, had become entangled in a huge knot in the air, floating between all the portals.

"Freeze them!" Honeymaren shouted at Elsa, who kept slowing the arms that were approaching from the ground, and as soon as he realized the situation she launched a large freezing blast, taking care of all the arms trapped in the area.

"Ready!"

"Cover yourself!"

Just after Elsa created an ice dome around the tip of the tower Honeymaren projected a powerful beam that completely obliterated Null's large mass of arms, reducing them to tiny chunks of ice.

The roar of pain and fury resonated along the valley, the whole place began to tremble and in the absence of the portals Honeymaren made the copies of herself she had conjured disappear and returned to the top of the tower next to Elsa.

"Its arms also retreated from the tower, it must be planning something else." Elsa said, trying to observe her surroundings well in search for some surprise attack.

"That's right, we need to be alert," Honeymaren said, standing back to back with Elsa so that they could both cover more space.

A little time passed and suddenly the young women felt the dark magic of Null acting over the valley again.

"There! More portals!" Elsa yelled.

Just as the Snow Queen had noticed dozens of portals had appeared along the forest, near and far from the girls alike, and suddenly, grotesque humanoid-looking creatures began to emerge by bunches throughout the portals. Their walk was erratic and their appearance disconcerting; their body seemed to be covered in dirty and wounded skin in addition to some rags, remnants of what was once some kind of clothing, where their faces should be there was only one mouth and over that a large shiny sphere, as if they were cyclopes and that great eye contained energy.

"What are those things?"

"Corrupted beings, whoever they were once is no more, they have been transformed by the dark magic and power of the dimension that bears the same name, they are known as mindless ones." Honeymaren said earnestly.

"Are they dangerous?"

"They have great energy they can shoot from that kind of eye they have on their face, as well as greater strength and durability than the average human... the most dangerous thing about this horde is its size, I can't tell any exceptionally strong individual but we can't allow them to surround us.

"Do they serve Null?" Elsa asked as she watched how they approached the tower decisively, roaring, screaming, wailing in sharp screams that made ears hurt and souls ache as they conveyed absolute suffering and agony shrouded in tremendous despair.

"They lack much intelligence or desires; Null must be controlling them to do its bidding." Honeymaren said as she watched how they came from all directions.

"We must stop them, I can feel the dark energy emanating, we don't know the damage they could do." Elsa said as she began to freeze the surroundings of the tower and lift more thorns that would hinder the passage of the agonizing beings.

"I agree." Said Honeymaren, who was throwing pulses of energy with her hands that destroyed those they touched.

The beings, lacking reasoning, impaled themselves in the ice spikes during their frantic desire to approach the tower and as others begin to advance above the fallen the defenses of Elsa became less effective. Honeymaren gathered a great deal of energy in her hands and then freed it in the form of powerful lighting that was jumped from one target to another, vaporizing them in a long chain of flashes, but even that had little effect in the face of the large number of those empty creatures that were approaching vigorously. Elsa left the spikes technique to build large ice walls around the tower, but this measure would be temporary, as, stacking against the walls, the dark beings formed a kind of platform by which others could climb higher and higher.

"This is bad, but it's still a distraction, what's Null doing?" Elsa asked as she created spikes around the wall in addition to small protruding blocks trying to slow down the speed with which beings were stacking and could begin to climb.

"I don't know, but we'll find out soon." Honeymaren replied, conjuring strong winds and magical beams to slow the horde's advance.

Suddenly, in the middle of the lake, the great image of Null could be seen again, standing imposing with its multiple arms spreading and moving menacingly as its multiple eyes, shining in red, showed a huge rage directed at the young couple.

"There it is." Honeymaren shouted

"What is it up to?" Elsa added.

Both girls looked at that being as a huge portal opened in the sky above it and suddenly, some of its tentacles, wrapped in the shape of a sphere, opened slowly to show the young couple a large sphere of pulsating and unstable magical energy within which both could perceive the spirits of the forest, even the rock giants that had been shrunken, all of them imprisoned and weakened by Null's dark energy. Soon after that the limbs of the demon closed again on the sphere to hide it behind the mass of arms it still had, and then the limbs on which it stood bent slightly to take momentum and then lifted it in flight, heading towards the portal that it had opened in the sky and beginning to cross it quickly due to its large size.

"No, we must do something!" Elsa said, nervous and a little more erratic in her defense, allowing more mindless beings to accumulate against the wall, climbing frantically.

"Don't worry, it can't take them, its portal can't take it out of the closed field created by the Eye of Agamotto." Honeymaren said, conjuring some gems and throwing them around the tower and a little further, generating tremendous energy explosions that cleared a radius of at least a few hundred meters around them.

"I know that look... I'm not going to like what you're about to tell me... and you know it!" Elsa said, holding Honeymaren by the arms as Null's figure disappeared completely in the portal.

"I kept those gems in case something like this happened and I had to buy time to say goodbye in addition to giving you a chance to prepare your defense."

"No, no, you're not going alone!" Elsa said, creating ice shackles around the left wrists of both.

"There is no other way," Honeymaren said, taking Elsa's hands. "Null knows that its portal can't get it out of here, it just takes it to a small pocket dimension where it has the advantage, it's clearly a trap.

"And how can you go to the trap so resolutely?!"

"I have no choice, I must save the spirits of the forest, and you know it."

"Yes... you're right ..." Elsa said distressed. "But I can't allow it, I... I can't..."added the young woman, nervous, conflicted to know that Honeymaren really had to do it. "We can go both, face it together, I can create an ice barrier around the valley that these creatures will take time to break, and we'll be back before they hurt anyone,." Elsa said, with a look that vivaciously asked Honeymaren to allow her to go with her.

—Null could control the time inside that place, as The Ancient One did with the sanctuary, if it's accelerated and at our return days, weeks have passed... the creatures will surely have finished with the forest and Arendelle; it's a risk we can't take... one must stay." Honeymaren said, with a comprehensive look that affectionately encouraged Elsa to understand what should be done.

The Snow Queen, processing the words of her girlfriend, resisted the urge to break into tears and just hugged her, making the shackles disappear.

"Promise me you're going to come back." Elsa said, in a broken voice that made Honeymaren feel a chill down her back.

"I promise ..." The young Northuldra said softly, whispering into her girlfriend's ear.

As the couple hugged the Levitation Cloak hugged them too, wrapping herself around them and then detaching herself from the young sorceresr, flying swiftly towards the sanctuary.

"What is she doing?" Elsa asked, slightly separating from Honeymaren as she watched the cloak enter a portal, surely created by her partner.

"She's just going for something we'll need, don't worry." Honeymaren said, hugging Elsa again, gently but firmly.

In less than a minute the cloak returned and settled back on Honeymaren's back, who quickly adjusted a small cloth bag that she had handed to her belt.

"It is time." Honeymaren said softly, releasing her girlfriend. "Those beings are coming, you must protect yourself and stay safe until I return; You must promise me too." Added the young woman, Elsa's hands intertwined with hers.

"I promise."

The young Northuldra only smiled and the cloak began to take flight as some of the mindless beings could already be seen and heard nearby.

"Hey!" Elsa shouted as the cloak began to turn toward the lake, the young sorceresr turning towards the tower upon hearing the voice of her partner.

Time seemed to pass a little slower when the gazes of the two girls met at that moment, not because of the mystical influence of the Eye of Agamotto, but because they both knew what should happen now.

"I love you."

Hearing those beautiful words, Honeymaren landed again on the tower, gently but firmly taking Elsa by the nape of the neck, running her fingers through her hair and when their faces were a couple of centimeters apart ...

"I love you too."

With those words the young women intertwined in a deep kiss, soft, pleasant, intimate, passionate, and set aflame by a spark of adrenaline that ended up instilling a sensation like no other they had before in their lives.

As their lips parted, their eyes finished saying everything they wanted to express, the cloak began to rise and the girls broke their gaze, concentrating fully again on the objective before them.

When Honeymaren was under the gloomy portal, she turned to look back at the tower, around which Elsa had already built an entire ice fortress, rival even to Arendelle's castle, and ready to face the mindless ones hordes that were heading towards her. When seeing that scene the cloak made some gestures with the neck.

"I know... she'll be fine." Honeymaren said, and then both of them decisively crossed the portal.
