Four Minutes

- 4 Days Later

Monica wiped her brow of imaginary sweat as she finished hauling a creature she'd killed back to her 'den'. 

In the few days that she'd stayed here in the icy biome, the lakeside cave she had first stumbled upon had become her home away from home. 

Since her near death experience a few days ago, her luck had drastically improved. 

With the discovery of these weird new blue flames of hers, she hadn't felt an uncomfortable chill ever since. 

Not only that, but she had also developed a bit of a new talent. 

After pulling herself and her kill into the small den, she turned towards the opening and unfurled a wave of blue flames from her palms. 

Normally, this would have been one of the dumbest things she could possibly have done, but her flames themselves were a bit different from normal now.
