Snow Ghosts (Open) - Aryel - 11-22-2012 Flattening her ears against another howling gale, Aryel reflected that this was quite possibly turning out to be a very foolish decision. The blue-tinted mare shuffled her wings, dislodging a dusting of snow, and attempted to fold them so as to cover her sides against the cold. Not quite a blizzard, this snowstorm had blow up suddenly while she was grazing on the shrubbery nearby. Now, all thoughts of food were driven from her mind as she searched for somewhere to take the shelter. Her coat, which had grown thick in the winter months, protected her against the cold, but the wind still managed to cut through the fur and chill her. She needed to find a windbreak, preferably quickly. Peering through the white flakes, she caught sight of a slanted structure. A pile of rocks had, over the years, accumulated a dune of snow that climbed up the windward side and hung in a frozen curl over the boulders, providing a sort of roof. She hurried towards it, breaking into a trot. She sighed with relief as she entered the pocket of still air created by the rocks and overhang. Her face and back were powdered with flakes, and the long fur near her hooves had acquired chunks of snow. Maybe I'll just rest here until it blows over, she thought, folding her legs and gazing out onto the tundra. Just until it blows over. RE: Snow Ghosts (Open) - Valerion - 11-25-2012 What started out as soft snowflakes drizzling down from the cloud-covered sky had quickly changed and now felt more like icicles striking against his face. Damn those moody gods. With no shelter in sight he blindly shuffled through the knee high snow in search of one, the wind howling and freezing him to the bone. He had long ago lost track of his whereabouts, and what had started out as something else was now nothing, but aimless wandering. After a while; though it felt like hours, the blizzard cleared up some and he’s line of vision increased considerably. He paused for a moment when an oblique pile of rocks caught his attention. A dune of snow covered most of the “spine” sheltering it from the worst of the god’s crossfires. Valerion broke into a slow trot, the snow clinging to what little fetlock feathering he had as he hastened across the tundra. // Sorry if some of my language seems a little odd. First time I RPG on English! RE: Snow Ghosts (Open) - Aryel - 11-25-2012 (You actually have pretty good grammar and spelling for a non-native English speaker.)
RE: Snow Ghosts (Open) - Valerion - 11-25-2012 As he neared the entrance, a faint sound of hooves thumping against the ground; as if someone had risen, made him come to a sudden halt. He flared his crimson nostrils and his ears swiveled to detect the origins of the sound when a light pitched voice pierced through the howling of the wind, “Is someone there?”
“I should ask you the same, but the answer to that would be somewhat obvious.”He replied as he walked past one of the rock foundations of the ‘cave’, making him fully visible from the inside. Peering at him stood a blue roan mare; considerably smaller than him, with two set of wings folded against her side. A flicker of a feeling better left unnamed went through his dark, aquatic eyes and perished as quickly as it came. “Well, hello there.” RE: Snow Ghosts (Open) - Aryel - 11-26-2012
