'What happened?'
His eyes slowly fluttered open to see a dimly lit stone room. Niall could see someone ahead of him, the semi-masculine back of a young man.
["Aveline! You finally awoke! Do you remember the final attack?!"]
Niall shook his head a little, his only fleeting memory passing by his eyes.
'I tried to block some sort of... magic blast? It almost hit Kyra.'
["Magic Cannons, apparently. I used some of the power I gave you to look around after you fell unconscious. The blast hit everyone, though there was no severe damage. You all passed out, just to be dragged away by the bandits hiding out of your sight. I saw and heard them talking about the cannons. They are experimental, as well as loans from someone affiliated with them. It is a miracle your magic stayed active for so long. I expected it to... what is wrong?"]
Niall felt a strange form of fear well up within his chest.
'Hika, that can't be right! No one learned to develop anything like that throughout the game! If they suddenly have that kind of firepower... someone else like me must be somewhere.'
Niall heard footsteps, sp he chose to play limp. The steps stopped beside him.
"Dunno how the hell yuh survived those blasts, bastard. Yuh lucky the Cap told us tuh leave yuh live. Ugh... pisses me off. I get dumped here..."
He kicked Niall's leg heavily as he spoke.
"...while they had to call everyone else back to redo the shit yuh broke! I can't even fuck them girlies yuh had with yuh, not till they all get their turns!"
Niall heard the footsteps beginning to move away, but he had already heard enough.
["Aveline? What is going on? Your body... your blood..."]
Aveline had already given in, her magic fading as the room grew colder. The rope over her mouth was snapped, from her bite, as it had long frozen over. She stood, snapping the rest of the frozen rope with ease. Each movement froze, then snapped her armor. As it melted into nothing, her body had been draped with a pure white dress that reached her knees. It was plain and simple, yet accentuated her more developed body.
["Aveline! What the hell is going on?! Why is your Soul World form out there?!"
"Calm down Hika."
"Wait, what? Who else can use this chat function?"
"You know who I am."
"But Aveline let you go, I saw it happen!"
"Turn around and stop usin this. Talk to me normally. Aveline isn't aware at the moment."]
The small screen froze over and shattered as Aveline's lips, eyes and hair began to pale. Each turned a ghastly, yet beautiful white as she began to walk towards the unaware guard. Every footstep left a patch of ice behind as she moved. Her pale fingers grasped at the air, pulling a frozen knife into her grip as she knelt behind the man. Her breasts were pressed firmly against his back as she held the blade to his throat.
"Why's it so damn cold in... now who is this gorgeous thing?"
Aveline let out a small giggle. It was cute and sexy, yet still terrifying as the man finally felt the knife against his throat. He paled, his voice vanishing as the blade flashed across his skin. Aveline's smile was deranged as she stood back up, wiping the bloody ice blade on her dress. The blood froze, then added itself to the hem of the dress.
"You want my women... over my cold and lifeless corpse. Hehe."
Aveline reached for the only door to the room, the handle freezing and shattering at her touch.
"No one can have what is mine."
As she spoke the door was blasted out into the room she was going into. It hit the opposite wall, which wasn't that far, but it hit it hard and loud. She gathered her surroundings as she began to head for the ladder that seemed to lead her out. Once at the top, she pressed against it. Her face became disappointed, then annoyed. Fed up, she pouted and knocked lightly.
"What Gear? Ya need the bathroom, ya got the other exit. Back that way, ya can whizz all ya wanna. Haha. If ya want a girl, fuck off. Ya lost until we all get a tur-"
Aveline smiled sweetly as his voice stopped, his blood slowly sliding down the ice she had shot up into the room above. She waited and listened for a bit longer before shoving the door against the roof.
"You are all pigs. They are mine for a reason."
Her little smile stayed as she began to skip through the different rooms, searching for the women she loved.

"How the hell are you still here?!"
Hika was staring at a small white orb, floating behind their head. The orb wiggled, suddenly bursting out limbs. A small, chibi Aveline was sitting beside her on the small couch.
"Hi, Hika. I guess this is the first time we've actually met?"
Chibiline had a tiny smile that melted Hika's heart.
"W-why are you still here?"
"Aveline didn't need me anymore, but I guess she didn't want to get rid of me. I've been spending time watching and learning about her past life, about her time as Niall."
Hika's eyes went wide as they sat closer to Chibiline.
"Do tell. What did you learn? What is wrong with her right now?"
Chibiline sighed.
"She thought she knew about her own limits, but whatever you did to her, the release on her past life's memories? That changed everything Aveline would ever experience. She was meant to be a talented Wind Magus. No Aura, just Magic. She was limited to an extensive degree, so even learning about her Frost Fairy heritage wouldn't do anything. You gave her the ability to use Water Magic and Aura. That gave rise to this power, her pure and unbridled rage as a Frost Fairy."
Hika felt their jaw go slack.
"Aveline does not have that much Frost Fairy blood in her! I know she is related to the current queen, yet..."
Hika went quiet, ready to learn whatever Chibiline had to tell.
