                The day after you and Mizore attempted to procreate with the assistance of the Shirayuki flower, Mizore decides to take you on a personal tour of the village.

"Come on, (Y/N), it'll be fun! You should see it while you're here!"

"But I'll freeze my ass off!"

Mizore stares you straight in the eyes, which she gracefully and seductively transitions into playfully biting your lower lip, almost losing her lollipop in the process. When you part, she is staring back at you with pleading eyes.

"Please? For me?"

You hate it, but she has you wrapped around her finger.

"Fiiiinnnnneeee...."

The happy dance overtakes her body again, and she hops up and down like a little girl in a candy store.

"Yesss..." She grabs your hand and tugs on it immensely, sending you careening outside.

"Come on, this way (Y/N)!"

"Okay, okay! Come on Mizore, hold on!"

"Slowpoke!"

She drags you through the snow and sleet happily, not able to wait any longer to show you her grand village. The premise itself is a spectacle: It rises out of the snow in the same way that a stalagmite might tower above a cave floor. The many arcologies are scattered throughout the tundra, often with incredibly intricate carvings dug into the walls like hieroglyphics. Mizore points you towards the most imposing structure, a magnificent castle made of ice. It gleams gracefully in the light when the clouds part, and is truly a sight to behold. Spires of the castle rise even higher than the surrounding arcologies, seemingly defying gravity. Snow women are posted at the top of them, supposedly keeping watch over the area, but upon closer inspection reveal themselves to be ice dolls created to protect the village from invaders.

"That's the Prophet's Fortress. Tsukune and Moka once saved me from my husband in there. I also had my first 'technical' kiss outside that window with a girl named Kurumu, but it didn't mean anything. I should let you meet Kurumu, she works at the academy still."

"Okay, sure! I'd love to meet her. And... Outside the window? How did that work? The window's on one of the ice towers..."

               "She has wings..."

               "Okay then."

You peer at the fortress in amazement. Such a beautiful building once held such corruption.

"Th... that fortress was also where my husband lived. That room right there was where he violated me..."

You glance toward Mizore, shocked. She peers at the ice, reflecting on her past...

"It's okay, (Y/N). Don't worry about me; it's all in the past now. I have you."

You're taken aback by the beautiful sweetness of her wondrous words... could she mean that? Do you really make her pain vanish like that? Your heart skips a beat, and you realize in that second that the feeling is reciprocated... "M...Mizore..."

She puts her finger to your lip, hushing you up. "Shhh... (Y/N), I know you can say you love me... but show me tonight, and fulfill my mother's broken wishes..."
