Trivpos: SHOW ME MAGIC
Regained: Day 220
Units, Bodyswap

In this memory, you are young. So young, you barely reach your mother's waist. Even so, you hold onto her hand, and your father's, swinging your arms as you walk.

"Hey, Mama, can you show me magic again?" You ask excitedly. "I want to see it!"

Your mother laughs gently, patting your head with her free hand. "Sorry, Aiya. There are no targets around, we're in the city."

"But it was so cool to see..." You pout. "What about Papa? You're invincible!"

Your father is the one to laugh this time, and suddenly pulls on your hand, lifting you up off the ground. You squeak and swing a bit in the air, laughing when he sets you back down. "Even if I'm invincible, we still don't want to cause a scene, dear."

"But, just a little?" You beg. "I want to see magic again, and Mama's the strongest mage in the world!"

She smiles warmly at you. "I suppose just a little would be okay. You want to be a mage, too, right?" You nod vigorously.

Your father sighs, knowing he's outvoted, and equips his shield. Your parents step away from you, and...

What happens next is a sight to behold. Light from the heavens crashing down, an aurora surrounding him and then freezing, a star burning into existence and then exploding, a phantasmal dragon's head opening its mouth and breathing fire. And each attack, your father doesn't even flinch, a golden spectral shield absorbing all the attacks so he isn't hurt. Even a meteor is caught on that shield and dissipates harmlessly.

In the end, you see your mother smile, and lift her staff up high. An image of ten stars appears above, the constellation of the Grand Cross. And each star glows a different color, and fires off a destructive ray, before falling themselves to crash into the target... Who again, receives it on his shield, to no harm.

Applause breaks out from around you, and you suddenly realize a crowd has formed to watch. You can't blame them- That was the coolest thing ever. But you're still a little disappointed- This is your family, after all.

You rush forward, grabbing onto your mother, and grinning. "Thank you! That was amazing!" Your mother ruffles your hair, messing it into your face, and your father approaches, lifting you into the air to sit on his shoulders.

"One day, you will be able to do that too. I can't wait to see it, Aiya." Your mother laughs, floating from the ground to look at you. "If you train hard, you might even do it faster than I did."

"I will!" You shout cheerfully. You're determined, even if you can't use magic yet. You'll be able to do that one day, too, and they'll be so proud of you.

Notes: This memory is probably very easy to tell who it belongs to! Nightingale's mother looks basically just like her, but with even longer and fluffier hair, and a red cloak.
(Also, Nightingale's mother is like 5'0 and her father is like 6'6. But Nightingale's mother's feet don't actually touch the ground very often during this memory, because she can just float along.)
It is very cute and you are very happy and the magic is so cool.
