THE FRIGID HEROINE'S POST

Artist: fripSIDE - Song: Never No Astray - Word Count: 579

Tired.

That was one main thing that Cirno felt radiating throughout her entire body. Everything from helping run the Iramasha Military, to training her new flock of heroes, spending time with her beloved and training to train herself in the process certainly took it's toll on her. It is why as soon as she brought Elysia in to sleep on the couch from their previous session, Cirno dragged her weary body to bed and blacked out the second she hit the bed.

So, when she awoke, many hours had passed and the rays of the morning sun summoned the Angel back to consciousness. She wasn't quite sure how much time had elapsed, but it looked to be about mid morning or so. And, given how extensive the unsealing of that accursed Jun was, it wasn't a matter she was so exhausted.

Therefore, The Celestial would rub her head and slowly pull her body upwards to stand. With a big yawn, she'd scratch through her bed-ridden hair and shift her eyes to discern just where Elysia may have ran off to. She could certainly still sense the presence of The Bronze Heroine nearby, but she was't quite sure where she scampered off to.

Hopefully, wherever Elysia jumped off to, she wasn't making too much of a mess. As Cirno was going to need to begin investigating this. So, after a few good stretches were given, she'd open the door from her bedroom and begin the process of searching for her dear pupil. Thus, as she slammed opened the door, she'd holler out these words and hope that she'd get a response in return:

"Elysia~! Are you still here?! It's time to wake up and start the next phase of training! Wake up!"

Of course, Cirno wasn't aware if she was up or not, but she'd take a shot in the dark and assume so. And, for that reason, is why he voice seemed to be shouting out so loudly. As, with a clap of the hands, she'd expect a swift response so that they could stay on schedule and begin the next phase of their training.

They had a lot of ground to cover, and Cirno certainly didn't have much time to spare, so she'd hope to get this ball moving as soon as she possibly could to ensure she'd stay on point with her duties. It is why her brain was already firing up, storming ideas together and planning out the second phase of their training from the moment she left her room, to the moment The Angel stomped forth into the living room.

As, even despite the exhaustion being taxed on her body and mind, Cirno still seemed to possess a rather enthusiastic knack for this whole ordeal she's put herself and so many others under. Therefore, even despite it getting rough to manage, it was still a joy to see if her students were actually learning, progressing and taking things away from her lessons.

Which is why, when she was done hooting and raving, a fatigued, but placid smile would emerge across her face as she focused more so on the happy thoughts than the overworked ones.

A dream. Something that the mind began to play through itself when a person was inactive, unconscious... Asleep. That was what Elysia was doing at this moment, body splayed out upon Cirno's couch, where she was dumped off previously. It was very obvious that this woman slept like a baby with how peaceful yet messy she looked. An arm and a leg were both hooked over the back of the couch, head unreasonably placed against the arm of the couch and smooshed against the soft cushion, hair smothered all against her face. Her remaining leg was actually resting upon the opposite arm of the couch, boots and socks removed to reveal her feet, toes wiggling every so often whenever Elysia stirred. Her final arm was laying off the side, knuckles touching the floor as Elysia certainly made herself comfortable, faint snoring even heard from the woman.

At least she was resting perfectly fine, though her dreams held something that would keep her mind at peace for a good long while. It was a dream that she had many nights in a row, even now, as in adult... It was something that she was robbed from at birth due to circumstances, due to fate's cruel clutches grasping unto her and throwing her into a pit of troubles for a fun show. Everything was hazy in the dream, but there was a small, bronze-skinned child sitting at a table within what seemed to be a kitchen. She was small, about 6 or 7 with a big, beaming smile and clear face. No scars or wounds present, only beautiful amber eyes with glimmering hope within them, and a smile of joy as her hair was spiked up in all direction. A bedhead. This child seemed to be waiting for something, or someone as her arms were on the wooden table in front of her, legs kicking out in the space underneath with an obvious lack of shoes or socks on. Heck, she was still in bright blue pajamas with sheep pictured upon the fabric.

Soon, two people came into view... Almost all of their features were blurred out, left hazy as their faces were obstructed by a fog. The only thing that could be told about them was that they had a similar color to Elysia, the female sporting similarly colored hair as well that was just as spikey. These were her 'parents'. At least, in the dream... And they both hugged her, the 'mother' wrapping an arm around her whilst the other placed a plate of eggs in front of her, a kiss given on her forehead as the 'father' did something similar. It was a pleasant feeling, the child's smile only growing in size as a giggle escaped from her lips, small arms reaching outwards to hug the both of them as tightly as they could.

This was Elysia's dream... Both within her mind, and within her heart. It was something she always wanted but could never receive, and soon enough, she would be pulled away from it again. There was someone calling her name, someone shouting it out. Her dream-self looked about, confused as her parents did the same until everything began to fade away. The happy parents... Food lovingly made. Even the nice home, all of it fading away as Elysia was herself again, a fully grown adult left standing in the midst of a blank expanse. She was all alone, no longer pretending to be within a dream, no longer able to forget what she could never have.

Soon enough, a single eye slowly opened within the waking world, Elysia's own. Everything was too bright and blurry as a loud groan was emitted forth from the groggy woman, an arm that once rested upon the ground reaching upwards to rub at her eyes to get the sleep out of them. Cirno was calling her, she could tell that much from the voice... What she wouldn't do for another few minutes of sleep, the Juin's removal yesterday taking a lot more out of her than even she would have thought, leaving her entire body feeling sore from the experience. Both arms began to stretch outwards, reaching towards the sky as her legs did the same, limbs straightened as a loud yawn came forth from her.

That yawn was quickly interrupted by her losing her balance upon the couch and already sliding off of it. A quick yelp was given out as she fell right on her shoulder, an audible thump echoing out as the grown woman had fallen off the couch and unto the floor. At least it was a good way of waking her up, another groan given out as both arms were used to push herself up, body slowly rising as another loud yawn was given, arms stretching out high above her head before relaxing at her sides. Elysia's eyes were both open now and ready for the world, glancing about to try and find Cirno.

Her clothing was fairly messed up, wrinkled and awkwardly shifted about, shorts turned just a bit too much to the side as one side was even pulled down her hip a bit too much. Vest that once covered her chest was all sorts of wrinkled and quite not as fancy looking as she would have hoped, but hey, it was still on her at least. Eyes soon spotted Cirno as a small smile was given to her. It had similar emotions to Cirno's own, forced and weak due to needing rest, but still there to show that she was ready to start. "Heeey... Good morning though!" Here's to hoping Cirno didn't watch her fall off the couch like a fool.

The faintest of blushes had appeared upon Elysia's cheeks at the sounds of a certain angel giggling. Welp, she definitely saw that. At least there wasn't any real teasing, a smile to be given along with a thumbs up, one which received a grin from the bronze heroine with another wave of her hand. Everything was still pretty sore, but today was a good day. There was a lot to be done, she got to rest, and for once she actually felt welcomed by someone more than someone in the Vanguard 'welcoming' her to get her to work harder. A single moment was taken for a deep breath to be taken in by Elysia, before being exhaled rather loudly as she stretched her rather cramped limbs. Arms raising high into the air, her body already balanced right on her tippy toes.

With her body properly un-cramped, a blissful escaped past her lips as she was greeted with the sight of a teasing tongue sticking out at her. A slight pout coming upon the woman's lips from this, lips pursed as her arms crossed over her chest. She wasn't actually offended, just having a bit of fun herself. Within the next few moments, Elysia had fallen right back unto the couch, butt first as she began to slip on both socks and boots, tying the laces together and strapping it on tight. Wouldn't want any snow to slip in, that'd definitely make focusing all the more difficult.

With all the prep time she needed, the woman bounded right on up, spinning upon the heel of her boot to face Cirno once more, only to meet a much more exotic scene before her. Floating snowmen? It was... Elysia still had to get used to many of the things that had begun to happen around her, this one being the most surprising for her. Floating snowmen. Huh. Amber eyes gazed forwards to watch each one rush straight to the kitchen, bringing in a chill that led to the guest quickly holding herself, the chill unexpected for her.

Familiars, huh? That's what those things were? To be honesty, they were rather cute, and the thought of Elysia having her own set of little cute snowmen to do her chores for her flashed across her mind... But no, her whole thing was lightning, and if for some reason she could make familiars out of that... Well, they wouldn't be as cute or looking so huggable. No matter the case, Elysia was left to think for a few moments. What -did- she want too eat? And what did Cirno even have? Did she have meats? Veggies? Fruits? Eggs? A few thoughts began to cross through her mind, one of them being steak. She never really knew why but... She was always the type of just have large amounts of meat and protein, even for breakfast.

Her mental process was soon disturbed by the excited angel, gaze turning towards her for the moment. With the question offered, should Elysia be selfish, or should she be kind? Should she go out into the cold snow, or stay inside and be a little bit of a shut-in for the morning? Hell, she's never really seen snow up until this point, why not outside? Plus, the idea of having a normal, human breakfast like Cirno planned too sounded appealing to her as well. A happy, quick stride was taken over to Cirno and too the front door if allowed, a new type of energy within her. Not the same as when she usually awakened in the Vanguard, but much different. This energy was... Positive, her being genuinely happy to be alive and awake, not needing a reason to get up for today.

It was a nice feeling. "I guess I'll have the same thing! Sounds good enough for the outside. Did I mention that this is the first time I ever got to really see snow? Does just how nice and pretty everything look around here get dull for you, or do you always find ways to keep it fresh?" The woman felt awkward talking like this, she could even remember a much more brass tone she would take with others. Perhaps Cirno had changed more than just simply the state of her soul, but possibly her mind as well.

No matter the case, she was definitely look for breakfast. She was starving!

Was left with a frightful chill just moments before, but with the work of the angelic being's grace, she found herself nice and warm. Everything felt rather comfortable, the freeze that made her shiver and shake was banished and now they could get to what they planned too. Breakfast! The meal of champions, the one thing that helped people more along in their day to day routines and helped them accomplish all of their goals, and if we're being honest, the goals that Elysia had set in place were rather grand, especially in the presence of someone who she held as highly as possible.

"Thanks, like I said, I'm not really... used to all of this stuff. It's all so beautiful but so, so cold."

If the Iramasha grinned, it was infectious enough to spread to everyone around her, Elysia's lips curling upwards as she felt warm not only in temperature, but in her heart. It was nice having a calming moment like this. The last time she's actually had a homemade meal, a real breakfast was when she was just a small child. Even the thoughts and memories she had of those times felt warm, thought only for a small while. Rather than let the cherished moments and joyous mood get ruined, she instead opted to speed up just enough to gaze a the sight laid out before her.

Everything was already done, and it smelled wonderfully delicious! The small creations left to mill about even made Elysia feel as if she were in a magical wonderland. Well, considering that she was with someone who somewhat resembled a fairy, it wasn't all too far off! It even impressed her at times what people could achieve, from creating little snowmen to do things around the house to creating something out of nothing. Life had so many special quirks, special tricks hidden up its sleeves for people to find out, and it led to pleasant moments such as this.

Such as the pleasant moment of having the cutest little snowman offer her a plate with such a wonderful design, added with a nice cup of moo juice. The woman quickly found a nice, comfortable place for her to sit down on before taking a few quick bites of her food and a quick sip before realizing there was a sharp fork being pointed directly at her. Elysia took a moment to take her attention away from stuffing her face with food and instead to give it all to Cirno, almost immediately regretting it due to the loud shout. At least she answered! But so early in the morning to be yelling, it startled the girl enough to spill a bit of milk.

No use crying over spilled milk, a few gentle pats on the wet area before she turned her attention back to the angel. So it never got boring? Well... in a place so beautiful, it would be hard to just start suddenly disliking it, right? Besides, with a goal as heartfelt and true as Cirno's, there was only more beauty to be found in the world. It was much different than what she's heard from others. People aiming for glory, for power, to rebuild a nation... but some simply wanted to explore and enjoy the world for what it was. And that's something that Elysia wanted to protect, the choice to just simply enjoy oneself. The ability to live in piece.

Before any true response could be made, a gentle poke upon the heroine's chest led to her flinching a bit, mostly due to not expecting it so quickly. The question posed did make her think for a moment. Was this really what she wanted out of life? To protect others so they could be happy? That was her goal before she met Cirno, though out of hate and spite to those that would cause harm to others... but ever since this moment, she's started to see the nicer parts of life, the calmer moments, the ones that tempt a person to lay down arms and simply enjoy themselves.

It was hard to think, though seeing the beaming smile of such a joyful, benevolent figure helped Elysia figure out what she really did want from life. It wasn't to get revenge on those that have harmed those around her, and it wasn't 100% wanting to protect everyone so they could live on peacefully. It was a mix of the latter and something else, something a bit more personal. She wanted a family. Not a husband with kids, no, but a family that would love her. Friends to be by her side, people as close as sisters, people willing to stay by her side through thick and thin.

She wanted to fight for that chance, and for the chance for everyone else to hopefully get that one moment, or keep it safe for as long as possible. The once hardened gaze of Elysia looked especially peaceful in this moment, it looked calm. It looked as if too much of Cirno had rubbed off in such a short time.

"I feel something that I havn't felt before. It's warm, yet gentle. It's calming, yet inspiring. I can't tell what it is exactly, but I know that it's telling me to stay true and never give up. To never surrender. To stand strong against those that wish to see not only me fall, but everyone else. I want to protect the smiles people have. I want to protect the relationships, the friends... the families people have. How I felt to waking up to just one, nice, kind figure is a feeling that I want to make sure lives on for everyone else. I..."

The woman was forced to choke up for a moment. She really was speaking from the heart, and with everything that happened lately, she was just emotionally overwhelmed. The faint shine of tears were seen as they fell down her cheeks, a single arm brought up to wipe them away as her smile remained as strong as ever. Escaping from the pits wasn't her new start on life. Confronting her parents wasn't a new start on life. This was. This moment right here, the one that defined who she would become for the future, the one that would show her just how much there was in this world to experience, to love, to enjoy.

"I want to be happy. I want to protect it with all that I have, and that happiness comes from just knowing that others can feel it too. Maybe my true happiness is out there as well, so why not fight for it too, right? Is that... was that sappy? I feel a little bit like a dork..."

If it wasn't for Cirno, Elysia might not ever know what it means to... to just be happy.

It's been forever. Forever since Elysia could just.. enjoy a hug. If it weren't for Cirno, hell if it weren't for that fateful day of receiving the Juin, she'd never have had the will to find this wonderful being. This... this ray of hope that could brighten anyone's day. The teary-eyed woman couldn't help but reach to return the embrace, arms trying to weakly grasp at the girl to hold her close, head resting on her shoulder for just a moment. From this embrace, she could feel something growing within her, brewing. It reminded her of the power that began to form from the Juin, but it made her feel entirely different. It didn't feel like it was trying to take over, this new power. This chilly feeling filling her bones felt as if it was just filling her to the brim with emotions and joy. It felt... as if she'd never truly be away from Cirno, no matter how far away they may end up.

A deep breath was taken just moments before the hug was broken, and the Bronze Heroine's eyes trailed up to the sky. Her target. The heavens... something that held a deeper meaning than just being some place to strike at. It was her sign to let it go, to shed this shell of anger and spite and blossom into something more beautiful. Something even stronger, something with the power to truly make a difference to those around her. She just had to finally let it all out one last time. Not jsut her emotions, not just the tears, but every last bit of sour, foul energy within her. With only a moment spent to rub at her eyes to clear them of any leftover tears, Elysia stood tall and simply relaxed for a moment.

Energy began to spark between her fingertips, electricity at it's finest. The Heroine's eyes were slowly shut as she brought her palms together, grasping to hold her hands together as more and more of this energy seemed to slowly build up. The last of her anger, the last of her frustration, the last time she'd have to feel alone in the world and as if she had to fight it all alone.The bright, yellow energy seemed to flash a different color for only a few moments at a time, flickering between the color of light to the color of ice. A bright blue that seemed to shine brightly began to form within Elysia's grasp, electricity taking on a new color, one that was directly influenced by not only the energy that Cirno had granted her, but by the new resolve that was instilled within her.

Her hands parted, palms held outwards as if presenting the new ball of energy to Cirno just for a moment so that she could see. It didn't look volatile like electricity normally did, it didn't even look destructive. It was just a sphere of the beautiful blue energy with small currents of Elysia's bright golden energy coursing through, a wondrous mix of the two as Elysia soon gently tossed this ball up in the air. It was left to levitate for just a moment above Elysia before she struck out, a single fist being raised high above her to strike it at, bursting the sphere of energy to cause it to erupt. A powerful burst of two bolts of energy. One golden, on as blue as the sea. Intertwining and circling each other as they shot towards the skies, towards the 'heavens'.

And just like that, it was silent again, Elysia's lips curled into a rather goofy smile that just showed how different she felt in just a few days. How much... how much she has changed for the better. She was filled with a new resolve, a new resolve to push herself further and to maybe finally get that permanent happiness in her life, while protecting other's joy and love.

"Was it good Cirno? I honestly thought it... looked rather pretty."
