The summer’s heat was unbearable. Sitting underneath the shade of a tree, fanning its own self with their own hand was a young girl, no more older than 18 years, her height of average with a rather petite figure and hair as white as snow. Soft, silver strands of hair blew in the wind like a kite as a gentle breeze entered the town, soothing the chests of many townsfolk. The owner of the said perfect hair was no other than the Blue Pegasus mage, Snowflake, who would often visit the park of Magnolia mostly to read books in her own leisure time. Using the shade of the large tree to her advantage, the youth tried to stay away from the sunlight as much as possible since she hated the heat. Clothes clung onto her body like a child to a mother, mimicking how several strands of silver stuck to her neck in a grubby fashion, and the sheen of sweat that lined her temple would become more pronounced each passing second. Sweaty hair tangled over her slowly reddening complexion insistently, framing her already irate features with the notion of exhaustion reaching her bones.
With a loud thud, the android closed her book that she had been reading, although unfinished, clearly annoyed by the weather and her thick, black clothes would only make the entire situation worse. Pushing herself onto her heels, Snowflake brushed off the dry leaves and blades of grass that were stuck on her dress. Families and children filled the playground while couples hid behind the trees, snuggling against each other while they whispered their love for one another. Seeing these cute couples stirred something inside her and a thought of someone would cross her mind. It was unexpected and she would be taken aback immediately just by the thought of it. The girl gazed towards the direction of the couples once again and noticed how they appeared so happy together, their eyes filled with nothing but love and happiness. Although it might be a little to cheesy for her, the girl wondered if she would want that sort of relationship with a special someone. It would mean commitment and if she was serious enough, she would have to spend the rest of her life with this particular person.
The white-haired woman shook her head, forced the thoughts to the back of her mind and began to walk out of the park. Not sure how she should kill the time, the girl decided to give a look at the job board by the centre of the town. The streets were crowded as usual as she weaved through the crowds, edging through the dense flow of people before she found herself standing in front of a wooden board where numerous sort of papers was pinned up; news, gossips and mostly job requests. Her finger idly glossed over the rough texture of papers, eyes quickly scanning over the lines written on the brittle papers before she tugged on a sheet, hard enough to separate itself from the board.
