MLP:OPERATION ICEBOUND CH-5 NOMADS
9th December (4th Equestrian era)
11:30 AM
Vesper and Starlight were walking towards the ruined gates of Our Town which were currently undergoing repairs after the last attack, they left the small town and headed onwards towards the great equestrian snow dunes, they travelled in silence for an awkward 30 minutes until Starlight said something. "where are you from again?" asked Starlight curiously, "I'm from the Crystal Empire, why do you ask?" replied Vesper, "I'm just curious" replied Starlight.
They continued on walking in a dead silence, as they were walking they noticed a relatively large group of ponies, they were using strange quadruped thing to pass the through the blizzard, the thing looked rather primitive yet its size and how it was moving left both of them feel wrong at the thing in front of them, they decided that it would be wise to avoid the group as they did not know if the ponies or the thing were friend or foe.
As the group of ponies passed on, Vesper and Starlight remained undetected as they were not looking forward to find out if the group was friendly or not, after the group passed they decided that it was time to move out, however as there was a raging blizzard currently going on they ended up getting turned around and did not notice that they were heading towards the Crystal City

12:00 PM
Vesper and starlight seemed confused as they saw the Crystal City coming into view, they were certain that the were going the right way but it seemed that they were mistaken.
they entered the city as they have decided to resupply roughly 30 minutes later they heard the Crystal City's bone chilling siren, then a pre-recorded message by Cadence was broadcasted, "If you are hearing this broadcast this means that the crystal city is going to be attacked by Wendigos, Prepare yourselves my little Ponies" then the broadcast was cut off, Vesper felt a significant drop in temperature, a ravenous swarm of wendigos burst into the city in mass numbers the amount of death happening around Vesper and Starlight was unreal roughly 6 ponies near the entrance to the city were devoured by the wendigos, leaving nothing but empty frozen husks.
vesper tried to fight the wendigos but he was overcome, the wendigos clawed at chest he managed to kill 2 of the ferocious beasts before a blast of concentrated magic Incinerated the group on top of him then he passed out due to his wounds

12:00 PM
Starlight saw that Vesper was struggling against 6 wendigos as they were ruthlessly clawing at him, he managed to take down two of them before he collapsed, she acted quickly by channelling large amounts of magic and she fired a powerful fire spell and promptly incinerated the wendigos in the area, then she rushed towards vesper, he was gravely wounded but alive she cast spell which would heal the bleeding and rushed him towards the city's hospital, the next moments felt like centuries she felt as if time itself has been slowed, she hated that feeling, she was also exhausted from that magic blast she conjured. Once she reached the hospital they took vesper to hopefully treat his wounds, she then realised the true horror of the attack, the numbers of the dead were significantly higher than the numbers of wounded. she decided that she would just sleep in the waiting room in the hospital as she did not have anywhere to stay.
she decided that she would just wander around the city.
She did not know how long it has been but he was alive and that was good, when she looked outside she noticed that the sun has gone down and she decided that she would go to sleep.
