The landscape was covered with ice and snow that gleamed with unearthly light. Mounds of it covered where trees and other types of nature should stand tall. the gales howled like frost wolves non stop. but through the blur two mounds seemed to be moving. rather fast at that. Suddenly one of those mounds slipped on the hard packed ice and snow, a flash of red and white appeared. it was a pony's tail. it stuck out against the wintery world and out against the snow covered cloak.
"Come on Pepper get up! We must hurry to the tribes with the knowledge you discovered before the ice thickens!" the first mound spoke to the other and seemed to gently nudge the second one up. the second one got up and a bit of steam came from its upper area, it had snorted.
"Fine! But I see no point in it. no matter my heritage they will not listen to me any more than they do to you." came a female voice under the cloak. her voice barely heard over the wind. Suddenly the wind seem to howl even fiercer around them. Sterile whitish blue eyes appeared around them blowing away the snow on their cloaks revealing that they had hooves and that they were ponies. out of the mist ghostlike ponies appeared and seemed to run on the winds current. the two exposed ponies stared up in horror as the Windigos closed in.
"Pepper RUN! Go! Get to safety! you are our best bet for survival now!" Shouted the first pony as his head began to glow. Underneath his hood stood a unicorn horn. Even above the gale a female ponies scream could be heard...
"...CANVAS!!!!!... "
Inside the TARDIS
"Doctor...Hello...?Anypony home?" spoke a gray mare with blonde hair. her golden eyes slightly crooked in their own way. her wings shuffled a bit as she looked at the sleeping Earth pony. The Doctor was a chestnut stallion with slightly darker hair and with an hourglass cutie mark. (unlike the mare's bubbles) He had fallen asleep on a computer consul again while on their travels. It wasn't uncommon but The mare,known as Derpy Hooves had seen this happen plenty of times but today...something just didn't feel right.
*Sigh* Really hopped it wouldn't come to this. Thought Derpy, But she saw no other choice. "LOOK A DALEK!!!" She Shouted at the top of her lungs. And that gave instant results.
"WHERE?!?!?!" Screamed the Stallion his blue eyes shot up and thus loosing his balance he fell from his seat and landed back first onto the TARDIS floor. "Oi! You did that on purpose. " the Doctor whined a bit as he got up to look at his assistant.
Trying not to giggle she swiftly apologized to him and began to speak. "Sorry Doctor but you wouldn't wake up and...well, I think you can feel the trouble that I wanted to talk to you about." Derpy then gave a shiver and just then the Doctor felt it too. It was freezing in there. Ice was on the wall and on the computer screens. And it seemed to get colder by the minute.
"Wha?..Ice? How can that be?This Is AMAZING!!!It must be something extremely powerful to effect the TARDIS like this. I can't wait to find out what it is and..."His voice trailed off as he heard Derpy sneeze and saw her shivering greatly. The sight plucking at his heartstrings his voice and facial experssion softened. "...But first lets get some winter clothes and then we head out to see whats happening."
"S-s-s-sounds g-g-good d-d-d-octor" Came the reply.
The duo soon left the TARDIS and saw a strange yet beautiful sight. ice and snow everywhere reflected both the sun and the sky it hung in. strikingly bright colors where starting make it shimmer. But as they looked up into the sky they could see that the beauty would not last. Storm clouds smudged the blue sky. Tightening their winter clothes against the future storm for protection they pressed on.
Appearing almost immediately afterward a terrible gale blew in. Ice and snow raced on the gale winds. Their winter protection barely even keeping them warm felt the harshness of the storm.
"C-c-c-come Derpy! We should be able to find shelter nearby." The Doctor Shouted back to his assistant. As he was about to turn around he could very faintly hear a distinct thud, looking over in horror he saw Derpy was lying on the ground. Her grey coat tinged blue from the cold, and her blonde mane almost white from the ice. And her eyes where almost completely shut. "D-d-d-derpy!" the Doctor shouted and raced back to his companions side."C-c-c-come on we have to get to shelter. Or we'll freeze. Come on Stay awake!" But he saw that it was no use. Derpy was to frozen to move anymore and he...he was to drained to carry her. Laying down next to her close as he could the Doctor snuggled with her, trying to keep her warm to survive through this. As he began to fall into the ice sleep he thought he saw a star against the snow smudged area...
