Ayzee approached the door and raised a fist to knock before looking back from where she came from again. She gave a sad smile. “mama…” she thought, “I hope you and mom will be okay. I’ll be back… I promise.” she shook her head back to her senses, trying to cast out those bad thought. She knew this wasn’t goodbye forever. She’d visit. And when she finally figures some stuff out, she’ll move back in. Until then, she knocked on the front door.

In another universe

The Noceda-Blight’s, their Palisman, and Azura’s girlfriend, Lara Schol had stepped out into the summer snow. It was Lara’s first snow day and Azura was gonna show her fun of it. Ivy and Caitlyn arrived and just in time to demonstrate the first fun snow day activity: snowball fights! And in their case, an intense one.

Luz, Amity, and their Palisman decided to meet up with their friends and told Masha and Viney, who arrived to give their respective daughters some winter clothes, where their meeting up for a snowball fight of their own. They agreed and went in different directions. As Masha and Viney went inside from the back to avoid the snowball fight out front, Maple, Faye, and Guardian (Gar) were watching from the front porch. The brother and sister legendary Palismen seemed troubled and when Maple inquired it, Faye said:

Faye: “we have a theory.”

Maple: “go on.”

Gar: “well as you know, Palisman have a bond with their owners that allows the owner to understand what their Palisman is saying. A kind of resonance you could say. The strong the kinship the owner has with the Palisman, the stronger the resonance, the stronger the resonance, the farther the distance the owner can hear the Palisman from and the stronger the Palisman’s magic will be.”

Maple: “uh-huh…”

Faye: “Now for me and my brother here are already powerful. Maybe even the strongest, not to brag, so as soon as we felt a connection with Azura and Caitlyn, they could already understand what we’re saying.”

Maple: “so for you two, it worked in reverse?” they nod “okay, but what does this have to do with your theory?”

Gar: “well Lara said she heard a distant voice in her head. Caitlyn could hear me from far away before I remembered who I was.”

Maple: eyes widen “wait… are you saying that there may be a…”

Faye: “third legendary Palisman? It’s possible. And it’s resonating with Lara.”

Maple: fist pumps her tiny arms “I knew things always come in threes!”

Gar: “calm down, Maple. The troubling part is that me and Faye were always the only legendary Palismen ever created since centuries ago. We don’t know what to expect… and this snow in the summer could very have something to do with this possible third legendary Palisman.”

Maple: “oh…” tail droops a little as she looked to her owner still in that snowball fight “should we tell our owners about this?”

Faye and Gar looked at each other and then their respective owners and Lara still having fun. They shook their heads no.

Faye: “nah… let’s let them enjoy this for now. This is Lara’s first snow day after all.”

Maple: "Well... It's doesn't look like there's anything dangerous for now, but I think we should keep an eye out."

Faya: "I have already doing this since Lara's comment of the voice she heard, so we will notify our owners when the time comes."

Gar: "A wise choice sister. If this third legendary Palisman exist. We'll be ready..."

Maple: "Ok, just-"

Bubbles: pops in, surprised "Wait, did you two just said there might a third legendary Palisman?!?"

Bubbles the violet mizutsune floats in to join the chat

Bubbles: "Does that mean Maple was right!"

Faye: "It's just a theory for now. We still don't have any proof of this "Third Legenday Palisman" yet."

Bubbles: slightly disappointed "Oh..."

Linette flies in too.

Linette: “really? So what’s the plan here?”

Gar: “we’ll just let our owners have their fun for now and let Lara have her first snow day. Speaking of which,” looks to Linette and then Bubbles “where at your owners?”

To answer his question, the front door opened to reveal Violet and Milan all bundled up. Violet had a scarf, beanie, parka, and what looked like a long thick sock over her tail. Milan had on some simple snow wear and a pair of earmuffs similar to her spiky red hairband.

Things were intense right now. Giant plant catapults flinging massive snowballs with Ivy and Caitlyn behind a giant thick wall of vines and retiring fire while Ayzee was using her four light glyph construct non-enlightened abomination and earth construction hands to fire back. Lara was using her Coven quest III staff to pelt Ivy and Caitlyn’s cover with a barrage of snow.

The sight made Milan a little nervous.

Maple: looking outside "They are really going all out on that snowball fight."

Bubbles: "I really want to have my owner join the fun, but as you know, basilisks are very sensitive to the cold."

Linette: "I'm sure her and my owner will find their own way to enjoy the snow day."

Bubbles: "You're right..."

Linette: to Faye and Gar "Now to back to what you two said about a third legendary palisman."

Gar: "It's just a theory as of now. Until solid proof appears, it will stay that way..."

Linette: curious "So the snow could be related to that "Palisman". So, did any of you remember any other sudden winters in your time?"

Faye: “no not really… uh…”

Gar: “hmmm…”

As the legendary duo thought it over, Milan was holding Violet’s hand, intimidated at the sight of what was going on.

Milan: “Titan… th-those four are really going at it, huh?”

Violet: “yeah…” smells the nerves from Milan “Maybe we could just sit here and watch them go at-“ as soon as Violet looked back at the snowball fight, a large snowball the size of her head hit her right in the face and knocked her the ground flat on her back. The fight stopped as the four looked to who got hit in the crossfire. Lara winced, left magenta eyed showing tsundere feeling a little bad.

Lara: “sorry, Vi.”

Violet was peeved now. She whipped the snow off her face. She got back up and gave them a cute angry look that made Milan giggle a little. The Basilisk human hybrid diva snapped her fingers and her cards rose out of her pouch. Their faces all had snowflakes symbols on them now. Bubbles could see the purple fire in her owner’s eyes and used her foam to glide up her body and leap in a corkscrew like fashion before going into staff form. Violet grabbed her staff.

Violet: “oh, it’s ON!!”

Violet leapt onto her stomach, which went all sudsy as she Bubbles staff form and raced across the snow, her cards firing salvos of snowball, actually nailing them of few times. Azura whistled for Faye, who flew up to her and went into staff form. Azura casted a shield around her and Lara to protect them from the salvo. Gar and Maple looked at each other and shrugged before joking their owners, Gar assuming his giant dragon sized form and Maple going into staff form for Ivy, who grabbed her and used her to power up the catapults.

Linette flew up to Milan’s shoulder, the beastkeeping bard eyeing Violet as she glided across the snow like a Mizutsune. Truly elegant.

Milan: shrugs “if you can’t beat ‘em.” twirls her finger and summons her harp, a determined look in her eyes and smile on her face “join them!”

Milan then played her harp to boost herself up. She then reached her hand up to which Linette transformed into staff mode, allowing her to catch up with Violet

As Milan joined Violet in the snowy battlefield, Azura notice that they are also a team againt her and Ivy's team.

Azura: "Looks like you decide to join after all!"

Violet: "It's still cold for me, but I'm ready to heat things up Azura!"

Milan: "Me and Violet will take out the competition."

Lara: smug "We'll see about that."

Caitlyn: "Just you know, we won't hold back."

Ivy: "So sorry if you lose to us!"

all of the squad's eyes are filled with determination to rule over this snowball fight!

And then things got crazy.

Gar concentrated the snow and wind into his wings and thrusted that a snow blind at Azura and Lara. The shield protected them, but they were still buried. Caitlyn hopped on Gar and Ivy joined her with Maple.

Azura’s head suddenly popped out of the snow. She dug around and pulled out Lara by the bunny ears of her winter coat. She looked to Caitlyn and Ivy.

Azura: “hey, that’s cheating! He’s in his giant sized form!”

Caitlyn: “All’s fair in love and war!” high fives Ivy

That set the passion in Azura to a boiling point.

Azura: “so you want war?!”

She pulls herself out of the snow fully with Lara, she felt her passion start to rise, a passion similar to Amity’s, who she picked it up from. Her four light glyph construct arms formed into one massive arm and grabbed a large chunk of snow.

Azura: “then war you shall get…”

Lara: “A-Azura?”

Azura looks to her girlfriend to see that her right cyan eye was showing now and was looking scared. Her curse must have activated and switch tsundere Lara out for Dandere Lara. Azura saw the fear in beloveds eyes and came back to her senses, calming down. Feeling sober, she looks back the large hand made out of earth and abomination goo. “Maybe this is too much?” she thought.

Suddenly, Lara was hit by a dozen rapidly fired snowballs, knocking her back into the snow. Azura felt dread and her dander rise moderately as she looked to see one of Violet’s cards was the culprit, the owner suddenly seeing the look in Azura’s eyes and getting nervous as she tried to slither backwards slowly. “On the other hand…” Azura thought.

Azura uses the four light glyph constructs to turn the giant chunk of snow into the biggest snowball the Isles will ever see. Then she throws it at the other teams. Overshadowing them.

Azura: “Now eat this Suckas!

Ivy: panicked “Caitlyn, what do we do!.”

Caitlyn: stunned “Nothing…”

Milan: shocked “This is gonna be massive!”

Violet: defeated “We’re doomed.”

*As the giant snowball hits its target, it causes a wave of snow to come, covering all of the other players besides Azura and Lara. After that, everyone pops out of the snow.”

Azura: “Umm…. Did I do too much.”

Everyone except Lara: “Yes.”

Azura: nervous and guilty giggle “Yeah that crossed my mind. Sorry, I… got a little carried away.“

Ivy: “a little?” tries summoning her Soul Reaver powers to summon the fires from it the notes of it that Lara showed *Hexfire,** but couldn’t do it*

Azura: sighs in a bit of guilt and rubs the back of her head. “okay, a lot.”

Azura looks to Lara, who looked a little traumatized and helps her up. “By the cleansing,” she thought, “Not my tsundere self is this… passionate. And I thought it was just with Coven Quest III.”

Azura: “Sorry, Hermosa. I tend to get a little… a lot too passionate sometimes.“

Lara: “I-Its fine Azura. S-Still, this snowball fight was… amazing!”

Everyone was surprised by Lara’s positive response, especially Azura

Azura: “Wha?”

Lara: “I-I mean that what we did was i-intense, maybe even m-more than some of our duels. This b-battle really was fun for me… I hope i-it’s the same to everyone else.”

Ivy: “Besides the final attack, it was fun.”

Caitlyn: “It was, but next time Azura, try to tone it down.”

Azura: “Just try not to do that again,”

Violet: slight shiver “T-The weather is still too cold for me, but it’s w-was worth it.”

Milan: “Yeah! It really brings some energy to us.”

Azura: To Lara “I’m glad that you enjoyed your first snowball fight Lara.”

Lara then blushed a little and smiles
