Following in tow, she took a mouthful of noodles into her mouth, then chewing it quickly and swallowing she gasped, "Wow! Sensei! These are great! Thanks for making them!" She said taking in another mouthful in.

He smiled. "No problem. I wouldn't want us to starve here!" He let out a deep sigh. "I kind of wish an intruder would come in..I'm itching for a fight!"

He stood up and took the bowls to the sink so he could wash them. "Oh well...I suppose the time will come when we'll be wishing for times like this again."

She ran over to help dry off the dishes nodding,"I'm sure of that!" Taking a small towel to dry off them off as her Sensei washed them, "Maybe you can train me....I don't know how to use the snow like you do Sensei..."

He smiled as he led her into the main room of the fortress where snow was falling. "We'll start with something easy, ok?" he stood up straight and let out a deep breath. He held out his hand and almost immediately the snowflakes started to gather in an orb above his palm. "All you have to do, is imagine your hand as a snow magnet." he smiled again. "You don't have to have much skill to do this, but it's really the base for alot of other things."

She held her hand out and closed her eyes to help her imagine better. Scrunching her face up trying to concentrate, then she opened her eyes to check if anything had happened "Aww...nothing.... Can you show me again? I'm gonna learn this!"

He smiled and nodded. "Perhaps I should think of a different analogy.." he closed his eyes and held out his hand, and again the snowflakes were drawn to it. "Think of the snowflakes as your thoughts..and imagine yourself gathering your thoughts." There is another way to teach her...but It'd cost her... he thought to himself

She nodded again and tried to concentrate, once again scrunching up her eyes and trying to gather her thoughts just as Sensei had told her. When she looked there was a bit of snow in her hand, but as soon as it got there, it scattered away again, "Aww...I was so close that time..." She pouted.

He smiled. "There is..another way..I don't know if you'd want to travel the path, but there is another.." The snow that had been falling on him was now falling around him, as if he were surrounded by a bubble

"...What is it Sensei...?" She asked curiously, she wanted to become as strong as her Sensei and was willing to try anything once..

"You could become what I am..a snow visage..In essence, you would be snow..You would be able to much easier understand what I teach, because I could tell you exactly how I do it. The only problem is..you can't turn back."

She thought about it"....So I won't be myself anymore...?" She shook her head, "I want to learn try it the harder way....if you don't mind that is...I'm want to try my hardest to learn it without resorting to any of that..."
