The snow fell silently, melting where it landed.
Valiant’s glazed eyes searched the surrounding land, t’was as white as a newly become ghost.
The sun bared through the darkened clouds, and brought new light to the land, which was before lost in a dark white abyss.
The reflection from the white snow reflected into Valiant’s eyes, forcing him to squint.
Valiant’s coat already soaked, felt the warmth of the new fresh sun upon it but this did not stop him from feeling the cold, Valiant shivered, as his coat rippled, and blew in the wind. "What am i doing here?" Valiant thought to himself, "where is shelter?". He had been walking for what seemed like hours, he had seen the sun come and go again, the sky now darkening from what it was before, returning to a dark, white cold abyss. "I must find shelter", the darkness brought blindness, and predators.
Valiant hastily speed up, but still was cautious of where he treaded as the terrain was undulating and a wrong foot could be fatal.
As he continued on, gradually losing hope of ever finding shelter and living to the morning.
Valiant looked to the stars, perhaps there would be something, an indication of what was forth coming, all that he saw where dark, unforgiving clouds.
Just as Valiant lost all hope he glanced into the distance , eyes squinted, he saw a dark figure, he cautiously approached the figure,
it slowly revealed itself as a large dark grey boulder,
Tail flicked in the air, Valiant's spirits returned, he gracefully trotted over, hooves brushing through the thick white snow, flicking it into the surrounding.
Valiant reached the large cascading boulders, and sought shelter beside them.
Finally Valiant's heart slowed, coming to a calming speed, and eventually Valiant eyes closed.
A bright like awoke Valiant in the morning, the sun baring through the clouds,
soft snow fell from the sky gently landing all around in the surroundings.
Valiant lifted his head and glanced around, the snow had lessened over the night, spring was coming.
Valiant glanced at the once sleek straight coat, now matted and wet. As he stretched out his long legs , muscles tensed and lines of muscles revealed,
Valiant gathered his weight on him back legs, and slowly raised him self off the ground till he was standing up tall on all fours.
Valiant glanced around, checking out the now visible surroundings , "well this isn’t so bad" he thought to himself, i have no where else to go, i guess i could stay.
I claim this land as mine!
Valiant, quite happy with himself, yawned happily and wandered off to find some food.
