CHAPTER 81: The Introduction of Pasttention
Zeltra exhaled softly, her frozen breath dissolving into the endless sky like tiny shimmering crystals.
A nostalgic, almost fragile smile curved her lips as she whispered to herself:
"Hahh… I still remember how beautiful Hanuri is. She really reminds me of Viora of the Frozen."
Her voice trembled slightly not from cold, but from memory.

At an Unknown Place in the Past…
A tiny, adorable Fruxiya stared up at her brother, her eyes sparkling with innocent curiosity.
She tugged lightly at his sleeve.
Little Fruxiya:
"Hmm… brother?"
Her brother blond hair tied neatly, eyes warm with the gentlest affection looked down at her as if the whole world lived in her tiny footsteps.
Brother:
"Ahh yes? What does my little angel want to know?"
Fruxiya held a book in her hands, pressed tightly against her small chest.
Little Fruxiya:
"Recently I read a book… and it says something about Viora.
So… what is Viora?"
Her brother paused, then smiled a genuine, tender smile filled with warmth that could melt any sorrow.
Brother:
"Hmm… Viora isn't just one thing. There are many variations.
But one thing stays the same…"
He knelt down to be at eye level.
Brother (softly, reverently):
"A Viora is… someone so unbelievably beautiful that normal words cannot describe them.
Someone whose beauty is majestic… otherworldly… so far beyond ordinary that a new word had to be created just to honor them."
Fruxiya's eyes widened round, starry, shining like someone had placed galaxies inside them.
Little Fruxiya:
"R-Really?! There's something like that in the world?"
Her brother giggled softly, poking her forehead lovingly.
Brother:
"Yep. And the funny thing? Someone very close to us fits that title perfectly."
Fruxiya blinked rapidly.
Little Fruxiya:
"W-who??"
Her brother looked at her with a teasing smirk.
Brother:
"She's standing right in front of me."
Fruxiya froze.
Little Fruxiya:
"Huh? Means… what…?"
Then realization stabbed her.
Little Fruxiya:
"W-W-WAIT WHAT?!"
Her whole face suddenly lit up red like a burning cherry.
And then_
she ran away with tiny steps, flustered, embarrassed, adorable beyond reason.

Back to the Present - Zeltra
Zeltra kept murmuring to herself, her voice drifting like frost on wind.
"She really reminds me of Viora of the Frozen… I wonder if she truly becomes one someday…"
A gentle, uncertain hope flickered in her icy eyes.

At the White Holy Castle
Silvana and Ixia walked through the sacred halls, their footsteps echoing against white marble.
Divine bells rang softly, adding a holy rhythm to the silence.
Silvana (thinking aloud):
"Ohh by the way, Ixia… remember the one who amazed our Lord with power of purity + frozenity combined?"
Ixia tapped her head, trying to recall.
Ixia:
"Hmm… I do remember… but I forgot her name.
Maybe Lord still remembers her."
Silvana:
"Let's go ask then."
And together, they walked deeper into the glowing white chambers.

At the Darkening Realm
Hanuro stumbled out of a warp, holding her head dramatically.
Hanuro:
"Ughhh… this warp always drives me CRAZY."
She clicked her tongue.
Hanuro:
"Is she really that needed though…
Ugh… whatever. I don't care."
Her expression turned sour.
Hanuro:
"I really hate her.
She's literally the opposite of me.
Let's just… get this over with."
After a few minutes of walking, she found Hiko standing calmly, preparing to warp, glowing panels shifting around him.
Hanuro:
"Oiii, Hiko?"
Hiko turned, suspicious as always, eyes sharp.
Hiko:
"…What is it now?"
Hanuro pressed both index fingers together dramatically.
Hanuro:
"Hmm… can you do me a favor?"
☞♥☜
Hiko sighed _ long, tired, already regretting.
Hiko:
"…What now?"
Hanuro:
"Can you find someone named Hanuri? Pretty please?"
Hiko's eyes narrowed, analyzing.
Hiko (thinking):
Hanuri… that must be her sister, right?
Finally he nodded.
Hiko:
"Fine. If I learn anything about her, I'll let you know."
Hanuro stretched happily.
Hanuro:
"Thanks! Bye _ I gotta go too."
Hiko simply nodded, then stepped into the battle-ship of the Mavalation Empire.
With a burst of warping light, the ship vanished.
