Alice- Freeze

When we were almost near enough to touch and I could smell the stink of its unwashed hairy body and the rotting meat stuck between its teeth, I cast a spell. The creature was staring down at me without moving. My spell was working well. I had the initiative and was holding it firmly. It wouldn’t do anything until I attacked.

I might just get in the first blow. So it had to be good.
