Disclaimer: HEYYYY GUESS WHO DOESN'T OWN HARVEST MOON? …me.

A/N: ...I really hate saying that. It's such an amazing game DX… anywa~ays… this is my first actual Harvest Moon FANFIC, not a one-shot, and I'm kind of excited. :3 I'M SORRY IT'S SO SHORT.

ON WITH THE STORY!

It was cold. The road seemed to go on forever and a half; I couldn't even see the end of it. No rivers, towns, or grass. And, I'm sure, if it wasn't five in the morning, and the sun was up… I'm sure I wouldn't be able to see the sky, either.

I was aware there were two mountains on either side of the road, though. How far it traveled? Who knew. I surely didn't.

Surely.

I continued to walk, sticking my hands into the pockets of my hooded sweatshirt. It must have been fifty freaken degrees out here! It could possibly be snowing, for all I knew.

If I could see, I would know, now, wouldn't I?

Then again, it could have possibly been colder to me because I was in nothing more than boots and a skirt. Sure, the skirt only reached the top of my knees, but… I had a sweatshirt on! That should have done something, for god's sake.

Sighing, I looked up to the sky, breathing slightly heavier than before. Was the elevation getting higher? God, I hoped not. The last thing I need was to pass out on some random road leading to possibly no where.

Or, worse. Somewhere, with no people.

I kept walking, my boots making a tap tap tap on the road, noticing for the first time that it was brick. A brick road? They haven't been used since 1939. Someone obviously was stuck in the past.

Obviously.

Looking foreword and squinting, I sighed again, positioning the backpack on my back to a more comfortable position. These damned clothes were to heavy for my liking. Two shirts, a pair of pants and sneakers, with a few necessities. It shouldn't weight this heavy, THIS felt like I had all of a mall in there.

…Okay, so that was a bit over exaggerated. But, the fact remained that this thing was far heavier then it should be.

I grumbled to myself as a large wind passed through the gorge, blowing my skirt around, and my long, blond hair whipped my face. I outright growled, moving it away from my eyes, and tried to walk in a straight line.

My head was getting lighter, and I could feel myself swaying. The only thing I could hope for was that there was a town near by. I wasn't sure how much longer I could hold out.

Taking in a deep breath, I walked slightly faster. The wind was picking up, and I think I felt rain. I wasn't even sure anymore, with this damned darkness. Does the sun rise here at all? Dear lord.

Sighing once more, that must have been the fifth time, I looked around, noticing I could see my breath. Blinking, I looked up to see that the gorge had opened up, revealing a bright moon, and star-studded sky. I let a sigh of relief go, only to curse myself when I felt the rain hit me harder.

I looked in front of me, feeling the strong ringing sensation in my eyes that indicated I needed to rest. Now.

In the distance, I saw a light. It wasn't that far, but it was there, and I felt my heart pace quicken with excitement. I ran, my backpack bouncing on my back, as I tried to reach the source of the light. My eyes whited out, then faded to black as all of my vision was cut off. The ringing continued, louder so, and I felt my head become blank and clear.

I hoped to god I was still running, but some part of me knew I was falling.

Darkness surrounded me, and the world was still.
