Sun gently twirled a pebble between her fingers, watching it slowly glow, deform, and turn to hot, gooey muck in her hand. Euch. She tossed it away with a flick of her wrist. It slowly fizzled on the crystal road as she folded her arms and gazed a thousand miles off. Boredom began to set in as she absentmindedly picked up another pebble, squeezed it, and just before it turned to molten stone, tossed it back into the snow and ice banks.
