Sophie glanced to the side as she heard Dima urging the horse to fly. She didn't think they'd be that lucky anytime soon, and also...how was she supposed to protect Dima if he was all he way up in the air? She ended the shield above them as soon as it seemed they were out of the blizzard. "This is why I hate snow," she mumbled.

...and they were in the clear for another few minutes.

Then the snowballs starting coming at them again. "What is the deal with the snowballs?" she said, asking that to nobody in particular. She decided to try a different spell this time. "Depulso!" she said, banishing the snowballs away from them. They starting bouncing away from them one by one, like they were bouncing off an invisible wall. "You alright over there?" she asked Dima.
