I let Spirit and Hachi get on first and hopped on myself. I held onto his horns and told him where to go, I guess he knew where I was talking about since it was on a mountain in plain sight from the meadow we were in. He lifted off the ground and flew to the mountain.
" So, what's your name," I ask
" Well, that's nice to see you care. Hachi was the first one when she saved me, now you. Kid your smart. The names IceFrye, I'm not sure how I got this name all I remember is that my last master called me that." he laughed
" Well nice to meet you, IceFrye." I say and pat his head gently.
He snorts out smoke and rides into the sky. This was the first time riding a dragon and all but the first time is always a charm. It felt as if I was flying myself. We finally landed at a small shrine at the middle of the mountain, he told me he couldn't fly any higher than this since there was a spell on this mountain. We jumped off and he disappeared into his mark on my cheek. I felt it as it became cold. We all walked up to the top and saw the shrine just sitting there. Spirit had went back into his mark and left the two of us alone. Hachi stepped up to a line and sat down behind it. I sat next to her.
" We have to release the power of the animal shrine to let us in." She explains " Even though we are good friends this tiger is very fierce."
" Oh." I just say and do as she says.

| Winter, snow shrine maiden |
" Hachi, what a fine welcome visit my dear." She says and steps out of the shadows of her shrine.
" Same goes with you as well Winter." Hachi answers and stands up.
" How long has it been, 3 years if I'm correct." She purred and walked out into the moon light where her white fur shined.
" I'm sorry I haven't been able to come visit. But I do have someone for you to meet." Hachi replied and pointed at me.
The tiger looked at me and laughed. She walked up and bowed her head at me, I was confused.
" My dear boy, I hope you know what your doing." She smiled at me and stood up
" Oh, uh, I'm sure I know what to do with the help of my sister and of my familiars." I smile back
" Good answer boy, or I would've chopped off a leg of yours." She laughed and made us follow her into the shrine.
I laughed a bit and followed her into her shrine, Hachi followed behind me. We walked into a room filled with candles, the tiger laid down and flicked her tail back and forth. I sat down and Hachi sat down next to me. Hachi put her left hand on my shoulder and smiled at me, she told me I had to learn a lot about these shrine spirits before we can beat Draco's ass. Winter then turned into an elegant human girl, she looked about in her 20's.

Winter then turned into an elegant human girl, she looked about in her 20's.
Her face was so fair in the moon light, I couldn't believe my eyes. Her hair was white as snow, and she had a collar on with a symbol. That symbol had to be her last masters symbol. I heard when a spirit becomes a shrine spirit they give up their master to take care of a shrine. I guess that's what she did, keeping her symbol to remember her last master. Her eyes were two different shades of blue, dark blue on the top and light blue on the bottom. She looked down at her legs and I could see her cheeks turning bright pink. I look back at Hachi who just nods her head.
" Uh Winter, may I ask a couple of questions." I start
" Oh, right. Sure thing dear." She smiles
" All right then. Can you teach me the ways of the snow?" I ask and bow my head
" Oh, well I can try. I know you are the one that is able to use every magic type there is, I'll do it." She smiled and hugged me
" Uh Winter, are you even aloud to hug me." I question
" Only once to one person. So this ones going to be long." She replied
After about a couple minutes she let go and was crying. I wiped the tears off of her face and rubbed her hair. She took my hand and stood up, she told me if we were to train for a week then lets start now. I laughed and said good-bye to Hachi, she went off with Spirit to find the next shrine to go to. I walk with Winter the back of the shrine, there was a beautiful garden there. She sat down on a rock and made me sit on the other which was right next to her. I sat down and tried to find my balance but every time I tried I kept falling off it. She would laugh but after the 10th time she told me to be calm, to study magic you have to know your surroundings. I guess she was right, by the end of the week I could use snow magic. But Hachi wasn't to be seen from again.
