Naruto figured wandering far away from the path would result in death, so he didn't steer far. The path eventually let up into a crossway section filled with luscious evergreen trees. There was a crimson red chest and a sign standing idly to the trees, he walked over to it.

He lifted the hood and reached inside. 'A glove? Jeez, wonder how long that thing's been here?' "It's pretty tough for a glove!" He pulled the old glove over his numb hands, it fit snugly around his frostbitten fingers.

"You didn't even bother to read the sign, figures."

"So what? It's not like there's something-" 'Wait! W-who's voice is that?!' He slowly turned around. "An...Owl...Thing...?"

"You don't even know what I am, figures." Snowdrake said, he took a giant breath
With the use of magic, the cold air formulated into sharp edged boomerangs and one-by-one they spewed out of his mouth. Naruto could easily weave through the boomerangs. "What do you mean by that?"

"A human like you wouldn't understand the power of...comedy!"

"Like a joke or something?"

"Yeah-yeah! I'll try out an ice pun 'cause ice puns are snow problem."

"...?" His head shifted to the side.

"I get it. My pun was so amazing you're speechless right now. Dad was wrong, I'm not just funny, I'm a comedy genius! I have to tell him, later." Using his stubby yellow legs, Snowdrake waddled away.

Naruto huffed, then muttered, "I still don't get it."

The few moments of peace he gathered were quickly disrupted when another monster came strutting alongside the road. Naruto dismissed its presence and kept on walking.
