All Angel's Find Their Way Home [Cirno/ichika] - Page 3 6EdIfMt

THE FRIGID HEROINE'S POST

Artist: N/A - Song: Must Be Dreaming

"If you keep up your work, you should be able to catch up with me in no time~!"

And that cheery toned statement was true. While many Iramasha weren't as in-tune with themselves as they wished to believe, someone who had the proper guidance, push and resources could bridge the gap of time in order to rapidly advance themselves, their power and the feats of what an Iramasha can do. It's why Cirno kept in mind the realistic limits of what a spirit can do, but never discounted wholly the capacity to break that threshold for those souls who were able to see beyond their limitations.

For now, however, she was taking joy in just seeing her daughter run around in the snow having the time of her life. It made Cirno happy to see that Ichika seemed to not have a care in the world. Since not too long ago the mother could recall the blonde haired angel having quite the dreadful time in the realms of earth. And, after reflecting on that, it might be time to change the pace of their training.

Since, while this bonding time made The Celestial's heart bled over with warmth, she knew the time constraints that the two were under. Every day was a life or death struggle on Earth, and given the current unstable climate, it was only a matter time before all war broke out. If nothing else was taken from this day, Cirno wanted her daughter somewhat prepared before this hell broke out across the multiverse. In The Angel Leader's mind, there were only a few months to a year or two before this occurred and she was making her plans in order to ensure her family was safe. And that meant making sure Ichika was now combat ready....

"Of course, Ichika. I've made many snowmen before. It's why I'm proud to see you have caught up to my skill in that snowy craftmanship!"

After breaking the distance between the two, Cirno walked over to her daughter, moved in to give her a pat on the head and then pinched her cheeks in a loving way to make her feel a little fun-loving pain.

"Buttttttttt~ Can you use them against mommy? She can make a lot of bad people toast with her ice and snow, and she wants to make sure that you can do it to if she isn't around."

After letting go of her cheeks, The Celestial of The Ice jumped back roughly ten feet and motioned for her daughter to utilize the frozen resources around them in order to go on the attack.

"Why don't you start throwing a few snowballs at mommy to get started? Just have your aether pick up the snow, mold it into a ball and then let me have it! C'mon, it'll be fun!"

SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!

Artist: Carrotwine - Song: Dark Side Of The Road

She wanted nothing more than to reach Cirno's level, to achieve further power and be a beacon of hope like she was. It was why she was doing all this training after all and it wasn't like she expected. It wasn't a routine of boredom and hard training exercises, well maybe they were hard things for her at the moment but they were fun and Cirno provided her with a sense of positivity through the endeavour. It didn't even feel like training for her.

"I'm gonna get really good! Just you wait Mum~"

She listened to every word, like the sweet nectar of a flower is what Cirno's words were for her if she were a bee. She listened to every single syllable and savoured it. She closed her eyes in bliss and in that time the Frigid Angel had made herself stand in front of the girl and attacked her face which caused her to open her eyes and jump a little from the fright. The head pat was fine but the cheeks were definitely a surprise. This would however give the Celestial the little angel's complete attention.

But I don't wanna use them like that... Why do I have to use them against Mum?

She sighed but accepted the fact, she knew there must be a reason behind all this so she didn't complain. Feeling the pain subsiding from her cheeks as her Mum jumped back a bit of distance away. She wanted snowballs? First she'd get the girl's hand coming up to grab her cheek again and pull it in the same fashion cheerfully but then it was all serious on her face.

"Alright. I'll toss some snowballs at you."

She wanted to do it. She really wanted to toss a snowball but there was the lingering fear she might make a mistake, she might accidentally hurt Cirno or she might throw it to hard or any number of things could go wrong. She bit her lip as this caused a mental block for her when she tried to will the snow to levitate and mould into a ball and then fire. Only trouble is that she was still trying to grasp levitation, her snowman wasn't exactly formed that way.

There was definite effort there though, like a workhorse she refused to stop until the work was done. It took her a few goes as one does when they are a learner but eventually a shaky cluster of snow would float in front of her and she bit her lip in concentration while trying to keep it steady. The shape followed next and with her snowball complete all that was left was to toss it. She lined up the shot and sure enough, that sucker was zooming through the air towards Cirno. She had to close her eyes though out of not wanting to see the snowball hit Cirno which would be aiming for her chest.

THE FRIGID HEROINE'S POST

Artist: N/A - Song: Dummy

"Again: I have no doubt a child of mine cannot achieve what I have~! I'd be a bad mother if you didn't!"

There was still some spunky pride left within the essence of The Celestial as she recalled her own child-like glow when it came to matters of getting great things done. As it made sense in the mind of Cirno that whatever reflected in the essence of her soul could be mirrored down to those who were taught under her. And given that Ichika was now her child, it was almost a certainty that she was destined for greatness -- if that is what she wanted. The mother would not force her daughter to do anything in which she had no desire to do unless it was for her own good.

So, while looking at her bounce around from emotion to emotion, The Angel Of The Ice couldn't help but let out a content sigh, close her eyes and reflect on how good it must feel for the world to be brand new and to have such grand ambitions. It made her want to get further in-tune with her younger self, feel that glow of burning youth and let the wonders of a mind unchained by countless thoughts be free to roam this existence without a care in the world.

And, based on that line of internal sentiment, Cirno reflected that in the world around her by smiling at Ichika, giving her thumbs up and uttering these words in a high-pitch voice in response to the sight of her daughter feeling determined to want to tussle with her mom:

"THAT'S MY GIRL!"

Random? Perhaps. But it felt good to let it out as The Celestial readied herself in order to catch the snowball hurdling her way. When Ichika was ready to let loose with the snowballs from hell, Cirno squatted, got into position and readied herself so that she could have the blazing fast sphere of snow be caught neatly within the palm of her right hand. When she did, The Angel gave a confident smirk, waved at Ichika with her left hand and then ate the whole snowball as she licked her fingers.

"Mommy likes the treat! Now she wants you to make more, go faster and try to catch her with the snowballs~!"

Then, there was a wag of her finger as a playful laugh exited her mouth with this challenge issued to Ichika:

"Or do you want mommy to beat you?"

Kneeling down on the ground, Cirno picked up a cluster of snow, threw it at roughly 90 mph and aimed to hit Ichika square in the chest to ignite their winter war~!

SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!

Artist: Carrotwine - Song: Dark Side Of The Road

Did she just eat it? Ichika's eyes blinked in surprise as she saw the snow disappear into Cirno's maw and curiously she leaned down to grab some of the snow and put it in her mouth. She wondered if people really ate the snow, it was just water but it wasn't something she thought people would do. So in this winter wonderland a snow battle was determined, she literally couldn't say no now after her mother said she'd beat her. No way. Ichika wanted to surpass and get stronger than the Angel of the Ice. She wanted to win this snowball fight.

"You won't beat me! I'm gonna be stronger than you one day."

When she saw Cirno craft her snowball Ichika looked around trying to figure out what to do. She opted to simply stand there and try to dodge it, so when the woman sent that snowball at that level of speed the blonde barely reacted and it was done more on instinct. A simple desire to not get hit and for the snowball to not make its mark. This would leave the Celestial to see her snowball hit a wall of snow that rose up slightly slower but with a smaller distance it was fine and intercepted Cirno's snowball while the small Angel's eyes opened with confusion and relief in them. '

"I stopped it? HA! I stopped it Mum! What are you gonna do now!?"

She ducked her head out and stuck her tongue out at the woman with a playful giggle and ducked back into her little barrier. Now she had to counter attack. She reached down and began to form her snowball and looked around the barrier again to see if Cirno was still there. If she was then her daughter would send her a present from above. She tossed the ball high into the air and manipulated it to try catch her from above and hit her head.

I can win this... I think.

Ichika was clearly surprised by the fact that her mother devoured her snowball. But: why should she be shocked? Did she not remember that Cirno was The Angel of The Ice? Eating anything of a wintry element was like dining on fine food to her. It's the reason which is why she'd finished licking up her fingers, winked at Ichka and uttered these words:

"I dunno about beating me just yet, but you have a bright future as being a wonderful chef of the snowy elements. You should make mommy more of this stuff since it tastes extra good!"

Cirno was clearly prodding her child since it seemed she responded a lot better to challenges more than anything else. It was totally adorable for her to watch the young blonde get so worked up over these things. In fact, Ichika got so worked up that her inner instincts kicked in, the fellow angel tapped into her potential and was able to dodge the curveball thrown at her from her mom. And, to that, The Motherly Angel could only give a clap of the hand at the sight unveiled to her.

"That's great! But you still haven't hit mommy~! ;P"

All of this was done in good banter as it seemed the mother was speaking in her own child-like voice as she stuck her tongue out at Ichika. She hoped that this would inspire her to try harder, reach deeper into her reserves and start pushing herself to come at The Celestial more aggressively. Which is why she was impressed when she formed a barrier, chucked some snowballs in the air and state she was ready to take Cirno down.

After giving a low whistle at the scene which unfolded before her, The Angel of the Ice squatted down, scooped up two snowballs with her bare hands and then shot them off in the air in order to neutralize the snowball coming down at her since her senses were still very much intact. With a victorious laugh, Cirno uttered these words out to her daughter:

"Again, you are gonna need more than that to beat mommy! Lots more! I'm talking dozens of snowballs! Let's see if you can do that, dear~!"

And the challenge was on. Could Ichika somehow muster up over a dozen snowballs to hit her mommy? Only time could tell if the child could summon up that kind of strength. But the clock was ticking until Cirno was preparing for her own counter attack~

SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!

Artist: Carrotwine - Song: Dark Side Of The Road

Of course Ichika was going to try super hard, Cirno was definitely going to get a meal as Ichika reached down and tried to form a bunch of balls as fast as possible. They were all going towards her mother soon so the woman better get ready for a feast! The angel's little hands slowly formed around six in a rather short time frame before she focused really hard on the snow behind Cirno.

She had avoided using her aether on these ones so she wasn't burnt out when she planned her sneak attack. Launching all six projectiles of snow Ichika's aether would then cause some of the snow behind the Celestial to shoot a snowball aimed directly at her back. She tried to be accurate but really it could've struck anywhere from the woman's head to her feet. All that mattered was it was a sneak attack from Ichika and the six balls were mere distractions for the one ball to finish the job.

"Did it hit you!?"

She waited a second or so after the sneaky snowball barrage occured and she was afraid to turn around from her barrier in case she got hit. This little thing was her fortress, her one-sided fortress but this was fine! This was all she needed so she'd wait patiently for the angel to respond, hoping she'd respond since if not she'd be wasting time sitting here idly. Curiously she reached down and pulled up some of the snow for a taste, licking the icy cold substance of her fingers and putting a small clump in her mouth to try. She wondered if it was just for her mother since the snow tasted... well like snow for her. It wasn't overly delicious like sweets or anyway.

If Cirno had no replied then Ichika would make another snowball and looked around with it in hand to be ready, if the sneak attack had failed then the girl would try to rapidly make up as many snowballs as she could. Aether as well, it was a struggle trying to keep her mind or more than one thing while the angel's hands hurriedly made some more as well. If she had not been interrupted then after a minute she'd have a dozen snowballs with a few left over. A total of fifteen and then? And then she'd toss them all telekinetically towards her mother in an attempt to hit her just once at least and win.

No way can she survive this. There's just no way... well... hopefully not.

Six frigid snowballs were all aiming for Cirno's head as Ichika did her best to try and phase The Angel of The Ice. Despite these actions, she was more than prepared to deal with this direct onslaught of wintry attacks heading her way. In a matter of seconds, The Celestial utilized her aether in order to summon eight snowballs, chucked them at 100 MPH and sought to bury her daughter's flurry of assaults under the weight of Mama Angel's wintry foot.

And if she thought her back wasn't well protected? WELL THINK AGAIN! The wings of The Celestial weren't just for show. As soon as they detected the snowballs coming from behind, the six icicle shaped wings hardened, shimmered with an aqua blue light and cut through all the attacks to counter her attack. It was meant to show that one should always be prepared for any type of attack and a lesson that Ichika should pick up quick before Cirno gets the better of her.

"You'd better summon more snow then that to bury mama in. She is still standing tall over here~ Be brave and charge me with something BIG."

With a grin on her face, The Celestial Of The Ice raised her eyebrow, had a small wall of snow appear behind Ichika and started to have it slowly creep behind her daughter as the sounds of crunching winter earth echoed behind The Young Blonde Angel. What was she going to do now? Was she going to move out of the way? Go on the attack? Think of a new plan? Ohohohoh, Cirno was not sparing her daughter in the least as she knew that being placed into critical circumstances like this was crucial for growth. All she needed to do was sit, wait and observe what her daughter might do.

'Tick-tock, Ichika. Tick-tock~"

With one twirl of her right index finger, Cirno would let out a confident chuckle before uttering these last words to her daughter:

"You can always check in on your seal and see if it has any goodies to help you make loads of snow to bury me under~ But remember Ichika: tick-tock~"

SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!

Artist: Carrotwine - Song: Dark Side Of The Road

It didn't work. It didn't work! The only thing that flew threw the girl's head as she listened to her mother's sing-song voice echo back to her and say she was completely fine. Otherwise meaning she had failed. How was she supposed to beat this woman with the same element she was so much more advanced in. She laid back in frustration and saw the wall slowly form and creep towards her and she made an unhappy face.

What do I do, What do I do!?

Her panic might even have let the motherly angel hear her daughter's internal panic as she tried to think of something. She'd slowly back further away until she was watching the wall slowly get closer and closer. She was promptly reminded of the seal which she thought on but the tick tock that Cirno kept doing just made her feel more stressed. She didn't want to use the seal, she wanted to get better herself. She wanted to surpass Cirno with her own power, not rely on Cirno to carry her to that level.

She started by letting herself get out of this bind, her own wall weakening in integrity behind her, not the frame but the general guts of it as she fell through onto her back and scrambled to her feet quickly while getting a bit further away while sighing in relief but she didn't forget where she was. Quickly she moved to the side, taking flight with her strange wings while she tried to manifest a large amount of snow in the air. Creation was harder than manipulation she found, but the environment helped a little bit as she formed a large clump of snow, which in itself would suddenly fall apart and fall onto the Angel of the Ice.

If the woman wanted Ichika to try and bury her then bury her she would. Granted, she did lose her concentration and fall a little until she was hovering at the Celestial's head height a few metres away where the snow now was in quite the pile. Short of moving the snow or destroying it before it hit her then the Hero Leader was forced to move but where would she be? If this was the case then Ichika would look around aimlessly to try and find her.

"Did I win? I'm getting tired Mum... I don't know how much more I can play."

Ah~

When the snow decked Cirno in the face? That felt nice. To be drenched in the spirit of winter which came roaring out of her daughter's essence was so very nice. Hence, for that reason is why The Celestial Of The Ice didn't seem to react for a few seconds there as she was absorbing the snow into her being. In a matter of seven seconds or so, Ichika would pay witness to her mother's body infusing the wintry element into her body as a content smile washed over The Angel's face when it came back to view.

"Yes. You won. You were able to create the element of the snow and you are finding your way as a Celestial bit by bit."

Pounce!

As a reward, A hug would soon be given by Cirno as she embraced her with the warmth of newly produced aether. Ichika was most likely feeling a bit drained at this point, so The Celestial Of The Ice was doing her best to transfer new energy into her daughter so that they could make a recovery trip to a cabin deeper in the now frozen forest.

"You look beat down. We should probably rest for the day."

After flicking the nose of Ichika, Cirno threw the child on her shoulders and began making her way towards a house made entirely of logs nearby. There, they would be able to rest for a little while, recover and then resume the next course of their training whenever Ichika was ready to make that development.

"I just want you to remember that feeling you had when you were in love with creation. It's important to guide your power, Ichika. As all we are doing is creating our power into reality each time we summon our Aether Class. It's a lot to really absorb, but you will understand it more as you develop, I promise."

With that last bit of reassurance, The Celestial figured by this point the child was gonna fall asleep or something. So, if there was no further protest, she'd simply guiide them toward their resting place and allow her to sleep for evening as she admired the sight of a setting sun in the distance; giving the forest a mixture of a warm orange glow under the backdrop of frozen white grassland. There was hope in the heavens as far as Cirno was concerned.

SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!

Artist: Carrotwine - Song: Dark Side Of The Road

"Victory! I WON, I WON, I WON!"

While tired indeed and for those moments of tiredness for the angelic newborn she was indeed quick to overcome this with her triumph presented in her form as she made her joy very clear in the form of victorious shouting but was otherwise interrupted by the pounce that had the floating child swiftly grappling onto Cirno's figure to stay latched onto her and not to fall.

It was appreciated, while she adored this winter wonderland she was not the Angel of the Ice and that in itself made her still vulnerable to the cold air and bitter cold wind that caressed her. There was the case of adrenaline though and her mind at this particular point in time would simply not register the cold from her excitement at overcoming Cirno's challenge.

"Rest? Tired? I'm not tired! We can still do stuff!"

While initially her voice was filled with protest and complaint at having to stop, forgetting how only a few minutes ago she admitted to being tired. The power of youth was indeed there but her comment wouldn't stay strong for long as she found herself dozing off while slung over her shoulder and not making it to their accommodation as she passed out shortly after the speech.
