MLP:OPERATION ICEBOUND CH-2 THE FROST HOUNDS
8th December (4th Equestrian Era)
Onyx Vesper was walking down the still frozen streets of the city and ponies were doing their usual thing despite the current ongoing snow storm, there were ones who where trading and others who were just doing their own thing, as he walked towards the gates of the city he had to wait for the gates to open in order to leave the safety of the city, "Now we wait" he whispered it only took 5 minutes for the large gates to open, after they did Onyx vesper headed out into the frozen wasteland before him. the snowstorm was still raging on as he proceeded to move out into the Frozen Plains.
By this point the snowstorm has died down a little making it alot easier and safer to navigate the plains,"And it seems as if my day is getting better!" he saidd with glee in his voice.
Not wasting anymore time he continued to traverse the plains.

6 HOURS LATER
Onyx Vesper was heading in the general direction of the remnants of Our Town, he was wondering the Crystal Plains for hours now so he must have been close, if he didn't manage to somehow get lost, after a painful 30 minutes of walking he saw a small settlement with 6 intact houses and another 5 which were collapsed or destroyed.
"By the looks of it and the giant wooden makeshift wall around the settlement, this must be Our Town!" he said with slight joy at the sight of the small village, he happily increased the speed at which he was trotting and then suddenly, he realised that the storm has grown significantly more agressive, that made his mood drop and he decided that it would be wise to gallop towards the town.
Just as he made it past the primitive gate somepony blew a warhorn and shouted, "FROST HOUNDS SIGHTED!" Everypony who was there prepared for the inevitable frost hound attack, Onyx Vesper prepared himself by getting his sabre The Storm Crusader at the ready, a moment of suspence hung in the air only broken by the slamming of the wooden gate, and then it broke.

5 MINUTES AFTER THE FROST HOUND STRIKE
"WE MUST NOT FALL, WE MUST HOLD THE LINE!" shouted a unicorn mare with a moderate purple mane with a turqoise streak going through it and a star cutie mark.
Onyx Vesper realised that a few of the frost hounds were charging towards him, with a couple of swipes and strike with deadly efficiency from his sabre the frost hounds that attacked him were lying on the floor. Lifeless. The mare also was slaughtering hordes of hounds using a staff like weapon,"BEHIND YOU!" the mare shouted as Onyx Vesper turned around and thrust his sabre forward impaling a frosthound that tried to jump him, the fighting continued on for a painful 30 minutes. The residents of Our Town were not left unscathed, out of the estimated 23 ponies, 5 of them were killed during the attack and a further 7 were left injured.
