Hoshor Plains Frozen into place

It was cold, so cold in fact that he had frozen icicles of snot running from his nostrils. He trembled so violently that he feared his legs would buckle, causing him to fall to the harsh ground below never to get up again. He whinnied pathetically and shifted his weight, the movement causing sharp pains to shoot up his frozen legs. The running with Nechako had ended a while ago, leaving him to stand and shiver with the women of his father's harem.


Looking over at Atna he noticed how she kept attempting to lie down only to be persuaded to stand up again by his ever diligent father. lowering his head to the ground he attempted to nose at the snow to move it aside, hoping to reveal some grass below. He succeeded somewhat and yanked out a clump of grass that had been frozen below the Icey cold snow, and walked over to Atna and Nechako. He snorted softly in greeting as he dropped the grass near his pregnant mother's muzzle, snuffling at her nose in greeting. Up until that point he hadn't realized that she had passed, but when he felt no breath come from her nostrils for a long period of time he lifted his head and dug at the ground with a forehoof.



"Mother! Mother don't leave me.." The normally silent boy pleaded, his teeth worrying at her hair in the affectionate gesture that mother's and their children share. He turned to Nechako his eyes full of grief "It's the cold. We have to get everyone moving" he said softly.
