Reader POV

"Be on guard," I warned the others.

They all had their weapons out and mana skins activated.

"Remember, the goal isn't to kill them," I reminded everyone.

As we advanced into the mining tunnels, I heard the faint sound of instruments playing.

"I believe it is someone who has music magic," Rill piped up.

I stopped. "I know this song..."

Dancing bears,

Painted wings,

Things I almost remember,

And a song someone sings,

Once upon a December.

Someone holds me safe and warm,

Horses prance through a silver storm,

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory

Someone holds me safe and warm,

Horses prance through a silver storm,

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory.

Far away,

Long ago,

Glowing dim as an ember,

Things my heart used to know,

Things it yearns to remember,

And a song someone sings,

Once upon a December.

(Disclaimer: I do NOT own Anastaisa the Movie Soundtrack!)

My heart started to thump against my chest as I heard the song.

My mother would sing it to me. Back home, I had a music box that would play the same song.

"Mother..."

I slowly started walking towards a ray of light.

"(y/n)!"

My vision turned white and I was transported back to happier times.

"MOM!!" A younger version of me was running through a snowstorm to the house where I grew up.

My mother was standing in the doorway. "(y/n)! Come in, come in! I've got a song to sing to you,"

I followed my younger self, feeling the warmth of the fire as Mother tucked in my younger self to bed.
