She couldn't be serious, could she? The Angel Paralix had grown father away lately, and Murasaki the Glacier Paralix didn't like it at all. Not at all.

The first time he stubbornly asked his tutor, "Why won't you stay?", the only response was a cold and nonchalant "Mind your manners, Great Murasaki."

Murasaki was quite the persistent young Paralix, and he seemed to quite annoy his teacher. Yet, the Angel Paralix, simply known as The Seeker, was quite fond of Murasaki. Oh, if only she could stay. But all Angels have their time, do they not, before being sent to the Heavens? Oh, her pupil would be devastated, she knew. Oh, she knew...

He resisted. Yes, he tried to resist that feeling of ice, of frost... For he was no one now, wasn't he? Not The Apprentice of the Seeker, not the so-called "Great One". What was special about him anyway? He was only awakened from his deep and chilling slumber and recollection when he became aware at his Companion, who was desperate to wake his friend from the seemingly endless sleep. Murasaki smiled, nudging the rat, who let out a strange purring noise.

"I will name you Atae," Murasaki whispered to it. "For you are my gift..."
