A hidden secret

     The snow frosted on the tips of the mountains. Ice dangled off the freezing, grey edges, as it blended into the black hole of the night sky. It was gloomy and unbearable, and deserted. Not a sound or light in sight , but the howling of the fierce wind and a faint light of a lit torch in the dark distance. Though nopony nor creature dared to go near this empty and silent place, it was home for one.

     The peach pegasus shivered, as she attempted to wrap her wings around her body, the torch in her hooves held close. She sniffed, as bitter water ran down her face. She watched as every snow drop drifted peacefully towards the ground, despite the angry wind and deadly cold. The pony nestled her head between both forehooves, resting the torch against the stony cave wall.

    She closed her eyes, her heart rate slowing as she inhaled and exhaled. She rested under the worn cloth, continuing to shivver and clench her teeth. She brushed her mane back with a hoof, as breeze blew through it. "One more day..." She thought, squeezing her eyes tighter. "Just... Just one more..."

   She turned to her side, her bruised wings unfurled out to full extent. She let a single, silent yawn escape her muzzle, as a snowflake landed on her nose, and instantly melted into her fur.
