Hellboy: The Archangels

[Silent_Wolf]

"Hm?" He raised his eyebrows. "Care to elaborate on that?"

[spirit_queen]

"Um, well, mama can't have children, so, like, nine years ago she and daddy were looking into adoption. While they were still going through the process, they made a mini snowman one winter and pretended it was a kid, and then mama made a wish that she could have a real kid, and the snowman turned into me," Ana said. "I wish I had more details, but it's kinda confusing..."

[Silent_Wolf]

"I guess that would explain the frost." He tapped his nose with the pen. "And everything else about you as well."

[spirit_queen]

"Really? Do you know what I am?" Ana asked, eyes wide.
Ooc: going to store now, bye!

[Silent_Wolf]

"It's only a theory. My friend Abraham was curious about you, because you reminded him of a race he'd known when he was human. They're called Snow Spirits. They're supposed to be part of the quadrangle of elements that the Greeks originally believed in; y'know, water, fire, earth, wind, all that jazz."

[spirit_queen]

"Oh? Well, now you have more to look up... try typing in bits of my story, see if anything will pop up."

"Actually, dear, I already know an old tale... why didn't I think of it before?" Nadya said as she came in with two plates of grilled cheese.

"What old story?" Ana asked.

"Ah, I think I forgot it because old tales were supposed to be ignored in the days of the U.S.S.R... but there are many variants on this old tale. Some say that the pagan gods of Spring and Frost have a child, some say they are not gods, but are spirits, or elementals, and yet more say Spring and Frost merely grant wishes to the infertile, like me... but all are about a girl made from snow who lives with humans. And all, unfortunately, end in tragedy. This is all I know, I don't remember the particulars in any way."

[Silent_Wolf]

"I'll have Abe look it up. He might have read about that; he's sort of our go-to for mythology." He took a bite of grilled cheese and nearly melted. "Oh wow. This is amazing, ma'am."

[spirit_queen]

"Ah, thank you. Here is your tea," she said, handing him a mug of hot tea. Ana got some ice cold cranberry juice.

"Watch this!" Ana said. She instantly cooled down only the bread of the sandwich; the bread had frost on it, but the cheese was still oozing. "I like the cheese all melty, but not too hot, and I like bread cold, so I flash freeze only the outside."

[Silent_Wolf]

"Thank you very much." He drank some of the tea gingerly. "That's pretty awesome. Fern can sort of do that except it's more she diverts the heat of it elsewhere than a freezing."

[spirit_queen]

"Ooh, that probably takes a lot of control; that's how fridgerators work, too," Ana said. "I want to meet your family sometime."

"But you won't forget about us her, will you, my angel?" Nadya said.

"Of course not, mama!" Ana set her late down and hugged her mother tightly, then sat back down again to eat. "Jon, you mentioned a friend, right? Did he come with you?"
