The girls flew across the skies, trying to forget about all their problems, if even for a small moment. Although Francis was afraid of heights, when she jumped over Nyx's back and felt the wind, she somehow felt happy, as if she had experienced something similar once, somewhere.
Maybe it was because this was a dream to her, because her fantasies were finally becoming real, the fantasies that even when she was so little, would help her submerge herself in a world where things weren't so bad.
Worlds where there weren't people that mocked her so much, a world where they wouldn't always laugh at her, a world where she could see well, and wouldn't trip on the floor.
A world where they wouldn't call her dumb because of that, or because she was awkward when talking, or because she sometimes became hyperactive and did weird things or wanted to play a lot, or because she would sometimes talk too much about stuff nobody cared because she was so much in love with the prince of this one certain fairy tale she loved to be told every night by her mama.
It was as if everything that made her herself… was disliked, nobody liked what she was, nobody like a single thing about her, they found her a weirdo, a creep, a stupid idiot.
It was exhausting for a little mind such as her, for someone growing, for someone that was developing, that wanted to take a place in the world.
But this?
Right now, as she felt the wind in her face…
As she saw the distant snow-capped mountains.
And as she glanced and admired the forest beneath.
She felt free.
For this very moment, perhaps only for this one minute.
She smiled, closing her eyes.
"It feels nice, Nyx! I'm… I'm so happy…"
She ended up shedding a tear, or a couple of tears at that.
"Oh…"
Nyx noticed the girl smiling and crying.
And she smiled.
"I'm glad you're enjoying it! Let's fly for a while if that makes you happy!"
"I want to go see the mountain! Can we? I've never touched snow before!"
"Sure! Let's go there then!"
Nyx descended into the nearest mountain, the snow cape was enormous, and very cold.
"Woow, real snow- Achoo!"
The moment she started running around the snow and grabbing it, Francis immediately started sneezing.
"It's too cold for you, Francis! Here, wear this."
Nyx gave her a warm coat made of giant polar bear monster fur she used to wear when her home was much colder.
"Oh, it's so warm and fluffy!"
Francis was happy with her big white coat, walking around while throwing snowballs.
"Heheh, catch this one!"
"Ooh! Ah!"
POOF!
Nyx ended up getting hit in the face by a big snowball!
"Hey, you little…!"
Nyx quickly created dozens of snowballs in mere seconds, firing them at Francis.
"You can't catch me!"
Francis jumped into the snow and rolled around, evading the snowball projectiles.
"Take this! Big snowball attack!"
She grabbed a lot of snow and threw a huge snowball.
It was huge and fell down as it flew though.
"Oh, it didn't even hit me though!"
"Hahaha! I guess it didn't! Let's build a snowman now! I want to make one!"
"Really? Why?"
"Because that's what they always do in the bedtime stories about Christmas! And then the snowman comes to life, did you know? Sometimes with the soul of your father!"
"E-Eh? I didn't know that!"
"Yeah, so I always thought that if I build a snowman big enough, and wish for it a lot, maybe papa can come back!"
"Y-Your papa?"
"Yeah! Mama said he went away, but I'm sure he'll come back in a snowman!"
"O-oh…"
Nyx quickly learned what happened to Francis' father right there, and why she never mentioned him at all.
Of course, even for someone that came from a Fantasy World like Yggdrasil, that your father that died long ago suddenly became the snowman you made…
It just sounded completely crazy and impossible.
"Uh, I don't know if that would work…" said Nyx.
"What are you talking about! You're a big dragon that can fly and shoot fire! I think anything can happen now, right?" asked Francis while looking vibrantly. "I'll build a big body for papa, it will have big arms, and legs! Or not? I can't build legs, they fall…! O-Oh well, we can use these sticks as a skeleton! We gotta make him tough so he can survive the summer!"
Nyx sighed, gripping her fists tightly.
"It won't work, Francis… that's just not going to work," said Nyx.
"E-Eh?" Francis muttered. "Why?"
"It's just fantasy… I am a dragon because I am a dragon," said Nyx. "But what you asked for that's… that's way too much…"
"…"
Francis remained in silence.
"B-But I want… I…"
"I'm sorry… I didn't know this about your dad…"
"Uuh… But am I not dreaming? Why can't… why can't I call papa then?"
"I…"
Nyx sighed, what could she do?
This was indeed a dream, but even then…
Even then…
"Okay, sure… let's try."
Nyx nodded at the end, even if it was just pure insanity.
She had heard that her mom even saw Sofia's parents appear.
Even when they had died before, they appeared.
So maybe…
Maybe it was possible somehow?
"Maybe I could also meet my other mom…" Nyx said.
"Other mom?" Francis asked.
"Yeah, I got two moms… my dragon mom… Well, she died before I was born," sighed Nyx. "I remember I met her once though, it was like her soul or spirit… she talked with my mom and my dad, but I wish I was… a bit smarter back then, so I could've talked with her, and appreciate it."
"Oh… Nyx…" Francis said. "Then let's build two snowmen, alright?"
"T-Two?" Nyx asked.
"Yeah! One for my papa, and one for your dragon mama! Like that we'll be all reunited with our family!" Francis nodded.
"Oooh! Okay!" Nyx nodded, understanding the logic behind it. "Let's do that!"
As the girls nodded and started working on their masterpieces, a small crack in space opened, as two black seeds dropped from them, falling into the floor, and burying under the snow…
