| A Path of Snow Accompanied by Flames | |

| Yes I'll be careful. Mhmm I've figured it out for the most part. | |
| Phones are still strange I must say." Haruno stood with her back | |
| against one of the many large trees that Snowdin was known for. | |
| The dark wood welcome to look at but was unsurprisingly cold to | |
| the touch so not very welcoming to touch. She pressed the phone | |
| to her shoulder with her cheek so she could comb her fingers | |
| through her hair, untangling a few strands at the end of one of | |
| the two braids. The woman was on her way back home from | |
| Waterfall after visiting Lucy to figure out how to further work | |
| the phone she was given. | |
| She slid away from the tree to twirl out into the large pathway | |
| that was mostly unused. Only few monsters came this far into the | |
| depths of Snowdin. Most remained in the city portion and those | |
| who came out were either looking to get away or otherwise. She | |
| was one of the very few who lived far out and away from people. | |
| It was a strange thing to come back to. Having her very own home | |
| with everything she had ever owned in it as if she always lived | |
| there. It was a bit foreign but not so much that she was | |
| uncomfortable with it. | |
| "Ah yes I will speak to you later. Thank you- have a nice day." | |
| She pressed the 'End Call' button and started off again on her | |
| way home. The only reason she stopped was because walking and | |
| talking on the phone at the same time was harder than she | |
| expected. She had walked into a tree last time. How she had | |
| swerved so far off path without noticing was beyond her but it | |
| happened. That and although the temperature was not to her | |
| liking she enjoyed the beauty of Snowdin. It was so very pretty. | |
| Her winter coat clung tightly to her body, it was one of the | |
| things she had to get used to while staying in Snowdin. Wearing | |
| a coat unless she was inside a building. Everything was rather | |
| cold but she didn't mind it that much. It helped level her out. | |
| Haruno exhaled to watch her own breath spew out in front of her. | |
| Even though the environment weakened her and wasn't exactly the | |
| best for her she knew that she used to live here before- where | |
| she wasn't sure not that it mattered. This place was home and it | |
| always would be. | |
| Silence filled the air besides the crunchinf of her shoes | |
| against the snow while she walked. There was a slight breeze | |
| that swept through her hair. Two large braids tied together into | |
| a low ponytail down her back with the rest of her hair falling | |
| naturally like normal. She opened her mouth, eyes squinting | |
| before a small sneeze escaped her being. | |

| The business was still going on like how it used to be. People | |
| coming in and out for a couple of times, the same faces I keep | |
| seeing ever since before I started the business and hell, even | |
| their sons and daughters and generations after them. | |
| I've lived here long enough to know that a young man with an old | |
| soul can be too tiring. You'll end up wishing you should have | |
| been dead already. But you know me, I can't leave, I have people | |
| to take care of and some bellies to fill. Although, it has its | |
| perks. Sort of. Things like living here for a long time than you | |
| could ever imagine aren't too easy to explain. Did you know that | |
| flame elementals can live up to 200 years? Well, I'm already a | |
| thousand years old. No idea how or why, but it seems that after | |
| killing all of my own kind--- well... Seeing some flame | |
| elementals, and other high temperature creatures, SOME of my own | |
| kind to protect the other monsters might have something to do | |
| with this. | |
| The other of my kind? Were the ones who survived. Wiped their | |
| memories, leaving only me to carry the burden of remembering it | |
| all. | |
| One of the customers called out to me and ordered more fries and | |
| a burger. I placed the wine glass I was wiping clean down on the | |
| counter and nodded to him. | |
| "Coming right up, Jim." I replied. | |
| I moved into the kitchen and went to the fryer to start cooking. | |
| I turned the temperature knob up a notch, the cooking oil | |
| bubbled but suddenly it stopped. I flinged my arms up in | |
| frustration, the furnace must have burned most of the charcoal | |
| inside and now the fire is weak to even cook at all. | |
| I cursed under my breath and sighed. It's a really busy hour, | |
| more people started to enter and I wish I could really use an | |
| extra hand but... I wonder where that young female goat who used | |
| to help me went? I forgot her name though. But still, it's | |
| nothing I couldn't handle. | |
| I grabbed a towel and wiped my hands and went outside and down | |
| to basement to fuel the furnace. I grabbed the metal rod and | |
| opened the furnace hatch. The red hot flames reminded me of my | |
| old hometown, but that was a long time ago. | |
| I poked the charcoal around, trying to make it burn more but the | |
| burnt charcoal isn't cutting it. I turned around to grab some | |
| wood but as soon as I faced the wood supply, I was only greeted | |
| with accumulated dust and drifting spider webs. | |
| "Agh... I should have collected wood yesterday." I muttered | |
| angrily. | |
| Frustated, I urged myself to calm down. I returned into the | |
| counter and grabbed a pen and paper. I approached the customer | |
| and told him that I'll be back in a few minutes or so to grab | |
| some wood while in the meantime, I grabbed a soda and gave it to | |
| him. | |
| "Drinks on me. Sorry for the wait." I smiled. | |
| I took my coat and my hat and placed the paper with the words | |
| "Just grabbing some wood. If you idiots can't wait, then find | |
| another restaurant. I'll be back in a short while." written on | |
| it then I went out. | |
| I never fancied the outside. The falling snow often hurt my skin | |
| when it comes in contact but I sort of got used to it. Now, it | |
| turns to vapor before it even touches me. | |
| I proceeded to walk outside and went to a route in the forest | |
| where I used to gather wood. It was formerly a place where emo | |
| kids and edgy monsters go to ruminate the flaws of people, life | |
| and the whole universe. And to that, I say, "The world is how | |
| you want it to be, not how the world wants itself to be." | |
| I hurried faster to get some wood, I didn't mind the whole | |
| environment while I was walking. But as soon as I looked right, | |
| there was a cabin built there near to where I am getting wood. | |
| Funny, all people in Snowdin preferred to be with company rather | |
| to be alone. Who's the lone wolf living alone without its pack? | |
| I shook of the thought, the customers back might be growing | |
| impatient now. I went to the place where an there were ready cut | |
| wood placed there. "Huh, looked like someone already cut them | |
| off. Thanks, John Doe." | |
| But looking at it, I didn't mind chopping two or three logs as a | |
| way of exercising. So, I grabbed the axe and warmed myself up. | |
| After that, I positioned myself and aimed the axe at the wood. I | |
| raised the axe but as soon as I did, I heard someone talking. I | |
| looked around, maybe the owner of the cabin is back perhaps. | |
| That's good, perhaps I could talk to him or her about anything, | |
| give them some friendly talk and be friendly after I chop some | |
| wood | |
| I focused back on the wood and chopped it down, breaking it in | |
| two. | |

| The woman made her way down the path looking through the trees | |
| to admire their beauty. Of course she passed the cabin she had | |
| always seen but never knew who it belonged to. It could be | |
| abandoned for all she knew. Her house was still a bit far down | |
| the line but for the most part it was just another long walk. | |
| Each stride she took was nothing short of a stretch so she could | |
| cover more ground and make it to her home quicker. Snow was | |
| beautiful and it's white cold, enchanting beauty was always | |
| admired yet at the same time...it's cold. Really cold. | |
| Especially in places like Snowdin- well only in places like | |
| Snowdin. It could be a dangerous beauty and sometimes those | |
| chills got to Haruno and as the cold winds made their way | |
| through the openings of her coat it would eventually reach her | |
| gem and all hell would break loose. | |
| The sound of an object hitting wood caught her attention for a | |
| brief moment. This was definitely a first. She'd never heard | |
| anything like it before. Haruno pondered only for a few moments | |
| whether to go investigate or just forget about it and go home. | |
| Her curiosity got the better of her and she turned off the | |
| pathway to enter the woods. With eyes of scarlet scanning the | |
| surrounding area only in the corner of her eye did she notice | |
| Snow that was...a different shade? No no it seemed as if | |
| something was emitting light and that light could be seen on the | |
| snow. Who would have a lantern all the way out here? She didn't | |
| move to step closer, only a few trees keeping the small distance | |
| between them. The tree behind the monster was blocking her sight | |
| of who it was but she was only slightly intrigued. | |

| I chopped more wood and breaking single logs into twos and then | |
| into fours. I gotta say, I haven't went wood chopping in long | |
| while and I even forgot how good it felt to be able to work out. | |
| The feeling of being out of breath and just exhuming steam felt | |
| good, the rush of magmadrenaline surging inside of me was | |
| exhilarating. | |
| I looked again behind to see if the owner of the cabin returned | |
| but found nothing but the darkness of the forest engulfing my | |
| surroundings and me as the only source of light around. Being a | |
| flame elemental has its advantages after all aside from being a | |
| natural hot-head. | |
| The snow seemed to be thickening even more. Snowdin hasn't | |
| changed at all, of course in my perspective. Or maybe that was | |
| me who has already adapted to the change that everything around | |
| me is pretty much normal. Then again, there's no such thing as | |
| normal. The world keeps its secrets from everyone so deep that | |
| you begin to wonder what everyone is hiding from each other. And | |
| what you see as normal is pretty much a facade of the truth that | |
| the world is much darker and messier than we have imagined. You | |
| begin to question if there's a better world out there, if there | |
| is then where? If there isn't then do we have to endure for the | |
| rest of our lives living in this cycle of pain and happiness? If | |
| Haruno would be here, she'd slap my head just about thinking | |
| philosophically. | |
| Speaking of Haruno... A few words about her. | |
| "I moved on." | |
| I seem to have spent enough time with the wood chopping that I | |
| almost forgot that I had customers waiting for me back in the | |
| resto-bar. I quickly grabbed a sack and gathered as much wood as | |
| I can supply for the day. Just as the bag was filled, I turned | |
| around and looked up. | |
| I chuckled, " Well, so much for living." | |
| I began to walk back to the resto-bar. | |

| The person after a few moments came into Haruno's view from | |
| beyond the tree. There was a bag over their shoulder filled with | |
| by what Haruno assumed to be wood. He hadn't been around these | |
| parts before. When he began walking away she was able to see | |
| just why there was so much light around them. The monster was | |
| made of fire. It had to be the most beautiful thing she'd ever | |
| seen. Somehow the lava bath she took when things went down with | |
| June couldn't compare. | |
| "E-Excuse me sir! I feel like I've seen you somewhere | |
| before...we've met before yes?" She questioned now stepping out | |
| from behind a tree herself. She moved forward with evenly paced | |
| steps. "It's a bit fuzzy but I think I've seen you before. | |
| Didn't I make a hole somewhere or something?" She asked unsure. | |

| I turned to look around to see who was talking to me. | |
| No... It can't be. | |
| My body felt weak, the wood I was carrying all dropped to the | |
| soft snow of Snowdin. This can't be possible, I thought... | |
| "You... Haruno? I... I thought you were dead!" | |
