So much snow

The forest was covered in a thick blanket of snow. The river was now frozen over making it hard to get any water. He scatched at the ice with a tip of a claw and sniffed angrily, feeling the cold, grey moon watch over him. Vaniroh blinked his icy eyes and imagined if that was what his heart looked like from inside. So cold and dead that it sat there with no real purpose anymore. Just a soul that was once a shimmering silver but is now a as cold and as grey as the fingers of a corpse. Vaniroh felt he could weep there in the icy fingers of the shadows with no reason to be there at all. No reason to even exist... _________________

IC- Ohanzee trotted carefully between the trees, dead and flaking, clawing mournfully at the sky as if they were trying to escape the harsh season. It was freezing. Normally the centaur didn't mind about the weather, but this Winter had brought with it a bitter wind that rebounded off the snow, chilling the air and whipping around life, drawing any remaining warmth from the creatures and surroundings. Carefully, he heaved his quiver further onto his shoulder, close to his neck. His shoulder was numb from the cold, and the weight of the quiver felt as though it were 10 times more than usual. Perhaps when the Spring came again he would fashion a belt to hang it on instead. No. he decided. I'd look stupid. Like he really cared. Like anyone else really cared. Like there was anyone else. Lost in these thoughts, his smooth hooves slipped and skidded every so often on patches of ice hidden under crisp white snow, and he nearly lost his balance several times, grasping onto trees or throwing out his arms to prevent himself falling. It was embarrassing, and he was glad there was nobody there to see him stumbling through life like this. Eventually, Ohanzee reached his destination. Finally! he thought to himself, and trotted expectantly towards the river. It was solid. He pressed his palm against the surface. It was as cold as ice. It was ice. Swearing viciously, he stamped in exasperation, before giving up. He was too tired to be angry. Too cold. Instead, he sat down on the bank, where slots of mud had frozen hard, cracking beneath his weight. As a last resort, he leaned heavily on the ice, trying to break the surface. It was no good- even here at the edge it was still too thick. All that he ended up with was hands covered in a thin filmy layer of water, which wouldn't even suffice for a beetle. _________________ . . . . . .

He had heard something move in the snow behind him. It sounded slightly like hooves trudging through the icy dark. He scampered to his feet and cautiously looked about the shadows, keeping his long ears high in the air to catch the slightest flicker of noise. He peered over at the river that he could just see in the dark, looking for anyone about. He saw what looked like a horse standing in the dark, examining the rivers ice with an...arm? Vaniroh blinked his pale eyes in surprise. ''It seems a centaur has entered the forests icy grasp''he whispered to himself before slipping around a tree, brushing past a dead branch on his way. _________________

He was sure he heard something moving. How could there be? Everything was either dead or hibernating. Only the larger mammals were around this time of year (himself for one). Hoping it was something edible, Ohanzee scrambled upright, and fumbled about, stringing his bow with icy fingers. It took him much longer than normal, and he hoped that if it was food, it hadn't run away, and if it was an enemy, it had. Nocking an arrow, he carefully picked his way along the bank, keeping his bow in front of him all the time, looking around trees- his anticipation growing with every step. _________________ . . . . . .

He kneaded the snow under his claws and crouched low to the ground, growling under his breath. The figure was just seen in the night, holding a strung bow ready to fire it at any movement. As it came closer, Vaniroh stood on his hind legs like a human. He wondered how demonic he looked from the side, maybe enough to chase the stranger away. _________________

There was somebody... or something there. It wasn't moving very much... but it was definitely alive. He could see it's silhouette against the gleaming white of the icy river. A twisted, feral form stood before him. Cursing viciously, Ohanzee stumbled backwards, still holding his bow taut. Taking a few paces back, he shouted angrily. "Who's there?" he knew if he had tried to speak at a normal volume, it would have sounded like he was scared. Perhaps he was. Stamping, he silently insisted they replied. Perhaps it would go for him... after all, everything needed food at this time of year, and despite being over 8ft tall, Ohanzee knew he could be a target. Carefully, he lined the tip of his arrow up with the creature's head... or what he guessed was it's head, judging by the unclear silhouette. If it moved towards him, he'd be ready. _________________ . . . . . .

He could just see the creature infront of him, holding its bow directly at his head. He leaned in forward to see if he could make out the creature more easily, but then pulled his head back as he heard the bowstring creak as it was pulled back further. In his horrible, dusty voice, he answered the stranger. '' First tell me your postion here, stranger.'' His top lip curled as he spoke, to reveal long, dirty white teeth. _________________

A were-wolf. he guessed. He had heard tell of them, but never seen one. He knew they could be powerful allies, and dangerous enemies. "I have no posistion here." he replied bluntly, his voice bouncing off the icy tree trunks. "I am Ohanzee and all I claim is residence in this forest." he stated, never lowering the bow. He felt the cold draining the feeling from his arms as he held his weapon in place. _________________ . . . . . .

There has never been a centaur in this forest before so what was this one up to? ''You lie!'' Vaniroh growled.''Now tell the truth!'' His tail swished through the mist in anger as he waited for a second reply. _________________
