A Metallic Rainbow Part 1

Ok just one hoof in front of the other common man keep up, i said to myself, i raised my head to find my partner barreling through the knee deep snow, it was amazing how he could do this but it is kind of expected from a earth pony that has been working in a field since he was a colt.

i continued to follow in his footsteps i from over the howling wind i herd my stomach growl, i had eaten very little this morning due to the troop being snowed in. Making meals turn into rashons, but thankfully the blizzard let up so Iron Hammer and i could make a supply trip. why are we camping in the frigid north you might ask well its simple... i am a Colt scout not much of a colt but its what we do its a place that leads up to the equestrian military, all of us are gearing up for it. Everything else you could imagine.

I started to catch up and my hopes were lost when my hoof sunk further than the others, i pulled it out to find a black hole, this was terrifying not only am i walking on ice its thin ice weakened by my friend. yelling would be useless since he has a bad ear and were in a blizzard, i created another path around the hole, being careful not to let my weight go to one side. I reached a slight hill where i knew was land looking over my shoulder i sat my tracks had wet spots in the bottom. only then did i realize Hammer was a silhouette and his tracks were filling in. I sped up catching him just before he entered the Forrest where we were camped.

Hammer plowed through the snow bank and dropped his pack on the Forrest floor, four others came to help, all that consisted of the troop to be precise. I lowered my snow goggles to my neck and unzipped my coat, the other four opened the packages of bread, oatmeal and other condiments and began placing them over the fire.

After dropping my pack i headed strait for the scout masters tent, i tossed the flap aside and entered closing the canvas behind me.

stone arrow looked up "so how did it go?"
