Slithering through the air the Yukigakure trio of Ace,Gunnr, and Ishin ventured onward. The Chivalrous gambler gazed onward his light blue eyes only thinking of his arctic home and the alliances that had to be maintained. "Rosalie why have you not contacted me" he thought worriedly as time slowly ticked away. It was odd considering that all of the allies should have been notified of his revival. He remained silent as the mighty feathered serpent continued to carry them along the coastal air.

"So are we heading back home papa?" Gunnr asked with a twinge of disappointment in her voice. She really wasn't ready to head back home yet. They had just started their journey, and it already seemed as if it was over. It was rather disappointing, but at the very least, she got to get out of the house for awhile, and stretch her legs a little. Gunnr then started to move her shoulder blades around a little bit. It was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable. She couldn't to wiggle around and then said, "Papa, My back is starting to feel weird, and itchy. Can you scratch it?" Her tiny grunts echo-ed as she struggled to coop with the new sensation.

-Entry-

Frustrated with her lack of progress both in finding the possibly final laboratory of her creator, the place that may well be where she was "born", and in her development of further universal chakra techniques, the nude form of Schatzi Rutherford took wing, flying high so as to let to chill air cool her head. Currently she resembled her typical self, young and androgynous, very modestly endowed such that determining gender for a certainty would be difficult were she wearing clothes. Her dirty blonde hair was styled in sweeping downward spikes around her catlike ears, and a long prehensile tail protruded from her rump.

Batlike wings flapping occasionally to keep her aloft, her tail flicking in irritation, she once more attempted to formulate the barrier-type retaliation field around herself, in order to better be protected from harm. A pale white glow enveloped her form, rippling slightly as though a still pond struck by a small stone.

A thought was all it took to summon a second version of herself, who immediately turned herself invisible to prevent the original from tracking her location. That wasn't to say she couldn't simply gaze through the sight of the soul to pierce the illusion, but that would defeat the purpose of the exercise. The technique she was casting should prove to be an automated defense system, operating even if she was unaware of the angle of attack. And here in the sky, there were no safe directions whatsoever.

A series of missiles appeared as if from nowhere, streaking toward her and aiming directly at the weak point at the base of her tail. They were slowed as though moving through syrup about a foot away, pushing through a rippling white field before ultimately breaking through, shattering her barrier and striking her in the hip as she performed a midair turn toward the slightly explosive sound.

Due to her previous training however, the missiles deflected harmlessly off her smooth skin before fizzling out. Emerald eyes narrowed, she estimated where the attack may have come from, though she couldn't see, and retaliated in kind though it was unfortunately not automatic so much as an act of spite.

The pair would go back and forth like this in rapid succession for some time, lighting up the darkening the slowly darkening sky as though by milky white fireworks, neither ever quite being able to master the barrier though one had a clear advantage of being invisible. The display would be quite obvious to anyone looking in that general direction.

Clicking her tongue, the original Schatzi decided to call it quits for now. She'd at least managed to work off some frustration if nothing else, and she was feeling significantly less irritable now that the glaring sun was on the decline. Pity she hadn't really fed in the last few days or she might almost be in a decent mood. Looking down, she prodded her chest in annoyance. Her biomass was getting very low, rendering her incapable of increasing any of her general body dimensions currently without reducing others.

Dismissing her invisible double with a thought, she willed her body to become less solid, assuming an incorporeal form to reduce her biomass consumption. It also let her float in more easily and comfortably, though she still needed to use her wings in order to ascend any higher. She leaned back, lounging on empty air, and blew out an aggravated breath. It was like she was just wasting her time out here.

OOC- well was waitin on Ishin but meh

The smooth coastal air brushed upon the Chivalrous Gambler's face as he remained deep in thought. Something did not feel right yet he had no evidence or tangible information to come to any defined concussions. Although his thoughts were temporary scooted away as his precious Gunnr began to squirm and such. "indeed, the paperwork awaits for your dear papa" he joyfully said to her with an gentle and polite smile upon his lips. Continuing to coat the bottom of his dress shoes with chakra, he walked over to the squirming daughter. "have you been properly washing back there" he said to her in an fatherly tone while slightly lifting up the back of her shirt. Gently he made sure the front remained down as he knelled down his left shoe remaining to be firmly planted upon the beast to keep footing.

His light blue eyes attentively analyzed her shoulder blades and the skin around it. Gently the proud father's left index finger brushed against her skin to see if her gift was forming correctly. Ace was not an expert of the soon gift for his precious little girl yet his fatherly intuition would hopefully tell if his daughter was in danger. Only seeing an rash and irritation on the parts that were scratched, Ace bent forward and placed an loving kiss upon the top of Gunnr scalp. "everything will be fine don't scratch it, endure it for papa" the Hachidiame Yukikage gently said to her while bringing her close so her little vessel could lean against his chest as the feathered serpent slithered through the air.

In the distance an display of lights occurred in the sky catching Ace's and Citlali's attention. "may be of interest" he mentioned to his summon which it responded with an grunt and hiss before quickly flying towards that direction. Ace was curious to see who was causing the light show and if they was friend or foe.

[Not Loki]

"Thank you papa... ergh.." Gunnr said as her father rubbed her back. It helped for a moment, but only a moment. Soon after there was an intense pain that ached from her back. "OWWWW!!!, eeehhh owowow. It hurts Papa..." Gunnr cried as the shoulder blades on her back began to bulge. She started to grab oh to Ace as hard as she could, as the pain just continued to grow. While it stared at her shoulder blades it started to move throughout her entire body. It burned like fire through her body, and that same body began to light up like the sun. Gunnr could hear the call of the Allfather ringing through her ears. She knew this was a gift from him and she needed to endure this pain to earn the gift that she would be given.

"It hurts! Papa!" The bulging in her back became more profound, the sound of crackling bones could be heard. She then let out one more yelp, and then there was a flash out light. After the flash had died down, Gunnr was no longer crying out in pain. The sound was instead replaced by the ruffling of feathers and the flapping of wings. Gunnr was breathing deeply as she was starting to gather herself after the ordeal. The wing expanded out, and then draped Gunnr and her father. She sniffled a little bit, wiping the tries from her eyes. She then looked up at her papa, "Owwie..." Is all she said as she looked at Ace with beautiful smile, and her visage still glowing.

Before more could be said, a gust of wind picked up and caught the young Valkyries new wings. She went flying off of the back of the large feather snake. As she was taken by the gust of wind, she knew that this was just another test from the Allfather, it was time she learned to fly. She was wrapped up in gust, and she into a tumble. She focused herself, and her wings gave 2 strong flaps. She was about to gather herself and then began to flap her wings again. She look very clumsy as she flapped her way back over to her father. She felt light as a feather, but she still didn't have any really control over what she was doing.

"Mfhg.. ergh." She grunted as she continued to flex her wings as she struggled to keep up with the large creature her father was riding. She would not dare ask for help. She would continue to push herself until she got the hang of this whole flying thing. Her adorable face puffed up, in frustration. Fight came easy to her, medical skills came easier to her, but this... this... THIS?!?! Actually, it wasn't really that hard. With each flap of her wings her balance got better, before long she was sure that she'd be flying circles around the large feathered serpent that her father was riding.

Everything seemed alright as Ace smiled confidant that he helped his precious little Gunnr calm down. His light blue eyes gazed onward his mind pondering of what to do once he returned back home. An slight sigh escaped his lips knowing that there was most likely an large stack of documents and files that had to go through and organized. However, these simple and boring thought were pushed away as he heard his little warrior began to squirm and yell in pain. Panicking at this his eyes gazed upon her shoulder blades noticing the forming bulges as they viciously began to grow. Quickly turning her around to avoid any injury from the sudden growth of the wings his nerves braced themselves to help her. His little girl began to cling onto her papa as the bulges increased which Ace kept her head close to his heart as he gently pat her head. "be a brave and strong girl listen to my heart we both must endure this" he softly said to her as he kissed her forehead. Allowing her to cling onto her father as much as possible , the Hachidaime Yukikage continued to hold her tightly while softy stroking her hair to help her endure the immense pain coursing throughout her body.

"someday the gift will be bestowed upon her without any warning be there to help her endure it" the Chivalrous Gambler thought about the warning the villagers gave him when he first bonded with this child. "you can endure it papa believes in you Gunnr" he said as he began to hear cracking form her back. His fatherly instincts screaming he brought her head closer to his chest hoping that his precious little girl would be alright. Suddenly an grand light erupted from the young child's back as wings similar to the ones he had in the afterlife displayed themselves upon the young one's vessel. Light blue eyes gazed upon Gunnr's magnificent wings his heart fluttering with awe and releif. The gods above desired for the little one to test them out as an huge gust of wind occurred flinging the little one off of the feathered serpent mount.

"rare to see that happen to humans I suppose" Citlali mentioned in an gruff tone as he slightly gazed upon the flying valkerye. "is that my little Gunnr" he wondered as he gazed upon her magnificent grace. Thinking of all of the tea parties and tucked in bed stories, he began to cry happily as fatherly pride began to make his heart swell. "indeed no matter fly on to the grand horizon my little one even when papa achieves his own ethereal wings" he thought as he continued to watch his little girl fly around the dragon with happiness glistening upon her face. "my little Snowdrop give papa an hug he is proud of his brave angel" the old relic happily called to her his arms open wide as his proud smile radiated. "when the day approaches to let go of your papa it will sting yet until then i must not think of that" he solemnly thought awaiting for her to return to him as he wondered how much longer she would be his little girl.

[Not Loki]

Gunnr had gotten the hang of the whole flying thing, and was know literally flying circles around the winged serpent. Her tiny giggle could be heard, as she glided over her fathers head for a moment, and then free fall off to the side only to appear in front of the large summon before rocketing herself into the air again. She wrapped herself in her wings as she spun in the air. She let out a playful laugh, and then thanked the Allfather for her gift. Her wings spread out in the sunlight, as it beamed against her body and her new Valkyrie wings. Gunnt then heard her Papa call out to her.

"Coming Papa!!" She called out as she looked over her shoulder. She then crossed her arms inn front of her and fell backwards once more. She corrected herself flawlessly as she speed towards her papa. As she closed in her eyes widened as she realized something, "UH OH!! Papa!! I don't know how to land.... AAAHHEHEHEHEH!!!" She let out a squeal, as she raced into her father's arm a little bit out of control. All the while flapping her wings frantically trying to slow herself down enough to make a proper landing, to no avail. After all she was still but a child.

[Dealer's Button]

Patiently riding upon the feathered serpent his light blue eyes observed Gunnr. She have gotten an good hold of her flying techniques, her angelic giggles sending volts into the old relic's heart. He remained silent mentally recording every singe moment as the heavens bathed them in their radiant brilliance. "life is never simple or kind only gracious enough to provide brief moments of bliss" the Hachidaime Yukikage thought as he thought of the day he technically died to be married to his dear wife Onyx. From underneath the soil his old body was discarded then his true self was rebirthed. His baby girl was growing up only reminding the card enchanter of the sands of time yet he only smiled at this realization. He fought many battles for honer yet it was to honor these precious moments all sentient beings got to enjoy, an future and path worth fighting for throughout the years.

"one day you will be in my shoes watching your kin ascend above the clouds embowered by the heaven's blessing" he thought while leaning back slightly as his light blue eyes remained watching the little warrior fly around gracefully. However, once called forth she heard her father's call, immediately surging forward. Smiling as she approached, Ace kept his hands wide ready to embrace her for her accomplishment yet his brow began to sweat as he noticed her control losing grip. "o ballicks" he muttered while bracing himself for the clash, upon impact all of his ear was forced out from his chest as his arms wrapped around his little Gunnr. Focusing chakra upon his feet, he kept anchored to the best as he caught attempting to get some air back into his lungs. "Gunnr please consider gliding with the moments not rushing ahead of them" he playfully suggested in his usual polite and soft tone while hugging her proudly. "papa is proud of his valiant angel" he whispered into her ear before kissing her forehead while keeping his precious little girl close. The feathered serpent sent out an irritated puff feeling all the lovey dovery stuff to be slightly annoying.

[Not Loki]

Gunnr started to giggle as she was caught by her father. She nestled her head into his chest as her wings folded in on themselves and then disappeared. "Yes papa, I'll do better next time." She smiled as she looked up at her father, and grabbed hold of Sir Floppy, and she began to doze off as she buried herself deeper into his chest. The soothing sound of his heart, slowly helped the young Valkyrie drift off into a deep slumber. Even if she wouldn't admit it, today had been a very eventful day, especially for a lass you hadn't been out of the Village in 8 years.

All the excitement would of course tucker the little goddess out. What an odd sight it must be. To see something capable of calling forth storms, and raining the very fires of Hell down upon the world during a simple tantrum. Such power jammed packed into the such a tiny package. The Allfather had really blessed Ace with such a gift, or perhaps it was a test? What every the Allfather had planned one thing was sure. That dangerous, and explosive power was now at rest, as the Tiny Titan drooled on her father's chest, as sleep had over taken her.

[Dealer's Button]

Ace began to let out a few hearty chuckles as his little warrior looked up took heed to her father's words. He held her tight close to his heart as his face expressed nothing less than proud fatherly joy. His light blue eyes gazed upon the distinct rising sun as the mighty feathered serpent continued to head towards Yuki no Kuni. He glanced over to the side to see an squadron of seagulls flying above the clouds with them. Wanting Gunnr to see this spectacle he glanced downward to only find her sleeping soundly. Noticing this the old relic face softened as his smile softened as well. His left ungloved hand tenderly stroked his daughter's hair as the wind around them blew gently. "will she be your successor" Citlali sternly spoke as his mighty majestic wings continued to glide and slice through the air. Thinking of all of the memories ever since the day they found each other on the cold arctic night, he confidently nodded as he remained peacefully gazing upon her sleeping vessel. "some day she will seek guidance from the heavens above I only wish that she smiles at whatever answer she receives" he solemnly answered to his mighty mount, knowing that fate was not kind. He also knew that his sole job was prepare her for the future yet there was so much out of his control.

An slight sight escaped the Hachidaime Yukikage's lips as he gazed upward as his protective nature stressed him at times. He was strict since day one teaching her the proper manners of society and battle yet he could not prepare for moments he was not even aware could possible occur. Indeed, the power of uncertainty was an vile yet respectable force. An slight smirk formed upon his lips as his left hand gently laid itself upon the left side of his face covering his left eye. "there is that I must bestow at the end" he thought as his mind was reminded with the signed will he gave Axel. It was in contract that upon his death that 2 successors would each receive one of his eyes, each bestowed with his last memories. Throughout the years, he heard rumors of such ritual yet his research have found no leads or descriptive evidence. Still in his heart, he felt there was something about this myth he have stumbled upon and it was why he was revived. He prayed that it would be enough for the next generation of heroes as they fight against their own momentous hurdles.

Alot of people did not think about death yet Ace knew it was foolish to disregard an natural occurrence. Gently his left arm wrapped over Gunnr's back as her head remained firmly pressed against her father's chest. Keeping with the wind and the tone of the waves below, the Hachidaime Yukikage tenderly stroked his sleeping treasure's vessel as the new day sun softly covered them in renewed sunlight.

*Moved to Yuki no Kuni*

[Dealer's Button]

A few moments later the trio arrived which the mighty serphent gently decended upon the arctic shore. Once that task was completed he erupted into an mighty puff of smoke as he returned back to his world. Ace gently carried his daughter into his arms as she peacefully slept. Walking onward he was very eager to put Gunnr to bed while he attempted to sleep as well in their humble log cabin.

She'd followed the tiny winged one out of simple curiosity quite a ways. If she wasn't mistaken, this was now the Snow country. Cold place, and well out of her way. Plus she had lost sight of the group she had been tailing anyway, so she couldn't keep with them. She was going to have to get back to moon country. The fastest way would simply be to fly in a straight line back the way she came, so she did so.

In order to protect herself from the incoming missile attacks, she returned to creating the barrier ability from before. Perhaps here she would meet with somewhat more success than beforehand, since previous attempts when in moon country had been less than complete successes. That was fine though, it wasn't as though time was something she lacked. Still, failure irritated her, and she felt that it wasn't something she should be reasonably expected to fail in anyway.

So it was that she set about the task of performing the barrier technique for perhaps the hundredth time, growing maybe a bit bored of it in all honesty, while her other self would fire missiles of chakra at her as they flew through the air. These missiles weren't exactly threatening, but in theory they should trigger the retaliatory barrier to activate and send a returning missile out in response to strike the source of the attack.

The idea was that such a thing would if nothing else give away the location of an unseen assailant, attempting to bring her harm. Which meant according to the ethics passed down by Rosalie, that they were fair game, so to speak. She was allowed to eat them. The barrier technique shimmered into place as it spread across her body, creating an invisible layer of protection to defend against attacks from range. Additionally, she sought to imbue it with the ability of chakra missile.

As the clones, for neither was real, and yet both were, volleyed their attacks off one another, they would begin to see the stirrings of a potential success, the universal typed chakra rippling and flexing in a manner which previously it had not done. It seemed to swell, as though an orb of energy were being pulled at to be pinched off, but could not achieve yet any sort of finalized momentum. Agitated, the changeling grumbled but carried on. It wasn't as if she had any better ways to pass the time.

Nearly at their destination now, though an indeterminate amount of time had passed because frankly she just hadn't been paying attention to it, the fully realized technique was coming quite close to fruition. A ball of non elemental chakra was now able to be emitted from the barrier, but it moved slowly yet and with rather poor accuracy. She was not yet sure how to address that particular problem, but was confident that she would have the knack of it before long.
