I was born... I?m not even sure how long it?s been. Years, decades, centuries, millennia, I?m much older than all of them.

I was born when this planet was born. I remember the boiling surface that was once earth, the impact of the rock that became the moon, and how I was born in that heat, as a tiny piece of ice that thrived.

Then life began to sprout. I observed the first animals walk the earth, and I got to see the first humans as well.

That was billions of years ago.

And now I reside in, where you may ask?

In Gensokyo.

?Cirno-Chan! Cirno-Chan!?

Cirno blearily opened her eyes, only to find the face of her close friend Daiyousei staring into her eyes.

With a yawn, Cirno mumbled, ?Morning Dai-Chan...?

As Cirno got up from her bed, a self made wooden frame with a cotton bed purchased from the human village, she rose from bed, gradually moving her weary body as she mumbled, ?What is it Dai??

Daiyousei giggled and said with a wink, ?It?s a secret~ Now, let?s get you up and moving!?

As Daiyousei lifted Cirno up by her arms, the latter blearily blinked her eyes, as she stumbled towards the pipe system in her house, connected to the Misty Lake to allow for fresh water.

Scrubbing her face and brushing her teeth, Cirno prepared herself for the day. Her customary blue primary dress went on as she laced her boots together, Daiyousei patiently waiting for her.

Her 10 winged ice crystals sprouted from her back, each as long and lethal as nature?s finest weaponry. Within each crystal shone torrents of power, each of the crystals marking the end of an eon and its energy accumulated during that time.

The power contained within each crystal could create and destroy entire galaxies, yet none save Cirno knew of the power within them. Even so, as Daiyousei settled close behind Cirno, she couldn?t help but feel comforted, Cirno?s presence a soothing sensation, like a gentle giant.

As the duo left Cirno?s abode, she asked, ?So Dai, where are we going??

Daiyousei only laughed again as she said, ?I told you already, it?s a secret!?

And so, the duo continued flying...

The Hakurei Shrine was quiet, its inhabitants having gone out for other matters. Though the shrine had just recently been sweeped, Reimu herself was nowhere to be seen.

Cirno and Daiyousei landed gently before the stairs to the toril, the latter extending a hand to the former.

With a smile on both of their faces, the duo ascended the stairs, just as normal humans might.

With a gentle push, Daiyousei said, ?Go on.?

As Cirno walked onwards through the toril, she was met by the eerie silence of the winter day.

Cirno glanced upwards and murmured, ?Today?s the 9th of September, huh??

As she glanced towards the shrine once again, she couldn?t help but notice something glimmering at the donation box.

Something just like-

?SURPRISE!?

A blinding light filled her eyes all of a sudden, as Cirno lost sight of the cloaking magic field, forcing a retina reset as her eyes cleared and she saw the shrine once more.

Crafted out of ice and various other elements, was a massive assortment of tables and chairs, as above the celebration resided a sign that said, ?Happy Birthday Cirno!?

As Daiyousei?s bright smile met Cirno?s own, the former said in unison with the rest of the party guests, ?Happy Birthday Cirno!?

Cirno smiled back, her own smile clear as the ice on a snowy day as she said, ?Thanks everyone!?

Walking towards the party, Cirno let out a sigh of remembrance as she thought, ?How many years has it been since I last celebrated my birthday with so many others..??

Pushing the thoughts away, Cirno grinned as she celebrated with everyone, relishing in the surprise birthday that everyone had put together for her.

And so, the celebration of the Strongest Fairy lasted well into the night, as sake and food flowed freely and Cirno?s happiness radiated for her birthday...
