And then I Found Him in the Snow
He was there, I saw him lying in the snow unconscious, he looked like he’d been there for a while, he had beautiful white coat, it was hard to see him because it was so white. Quickly as possible I snatched him up on my back, if he had stayed that way any longer he would be dead from the cold by now. I wrapped my scarf around him to keep him warm, I carried him trotting through the snow, the wind picked up more I began to have trouble carrying him. The snow felt like knives stabbing through my being but I have to save him, I have to keep moving. Finally I gave in; using my horn I cast a shielding spell to protect us from the wind for a while. We stay in this one spot. Keeping the shielding bubble around him I go searching for wood I don’t know how through all the snow but I will start a fire, I find a couple of pieces of tree limbs on the ground. Hurriedly I run back to where he is, under the bubble I casted. I worked on lighting the branches on fire with my magic I struggled a bit but I get to work, somehow. I begin to warm up in front of the fire but then I noticed something, the smoke began to accumulate inside the magic bubble it begins to be hard for me to breath I cursed at myself for being so stupid I quickly began to think of something I could do to keep the smoke out in desperation, I created a hole over the fire in the magic bubble and the smoke escaped through it I sighed in relief. That could have killed us both, I giggled at my stupidity. Next to the stallion I sat waiting for the snow to subside... It’s not subsiding. I watch him as I see his chest rise up and down slowly.
I hear the wind whirling around us, he is still unconscious. I feel his chest and checked his pulse just to make sure he’s still there, just in case. I feel a little drowsy. I stare out from the bubble the blizzard is coming down so hard I can only see white. My eyes begin to get heavier, and I drift off to sleep.

I wake up with a feeling of something cold and wet on my cheek, I open my eyes and I see the fire is out, and snow begin to accumulate inside the bubble and I look to my side and I see a blinding wall of white. I panic, I try to think of something, anything to get us out before the shield collapse in on us and be buried alive. An idea struck me, lighting my horn I performed a heating spell, I walked over to where the hole is and then I kicked the extinguished wood where the fire had been out of the way. I pressed against the snow that was trying to enter inside the dome, I feel the compact ice begin to melt away, I take my forehooves and begin digging away. I dig more and more into the compact ice and snow, making my way through the icy barricade. I created a tunnel through the white wall making it out, I go back through the tunnel and through the hole into the shielding bubble, I go and grab him and drag him out of the bubble through the tunnel and out to the other side, I’m surprised that the bubble I created had not collapsed-, the tunnel I created collapsed in on itself making me sigh in relief that i got us out before we were buried in that snow and icy mess. I checked his breathing again, he’s still alive.
I put him back on my back and continue my travel
