Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Very well

nu chap doods!

I'll center this chapter around Eternal Blizzard. you'll see why later on


A sad air was flowing around the forest. Eternal Blizz looked up sadly, one of his best friends was gone. he lost something precious... again... his yellow eyes were locked to the moon. he was remembering his family. that took him to a terrible memory.

"it happened ten years ago..." he thought to himself

Blizz closed his eyes as he stared to the moon.

Blizz' memories...

It was an cold winter afternoon at Ko-Ba-ka, four pegasi walked thruogh a snowy path. the path leaded them to a mountain. they walked under a cliff.

"woah!" a foal said "this looks amazing"

"my little brother is right" a pony that seemed just a bit older than the other said "this is new!"

"this is your first winter here" one that seemed father of the kids "its obvious you've never seen something like this"

"theres much more to see" a mare who obviously was their mother "tomorrow we'll show you more"

the family walked a for some minutes, still walking under the cliff. a little wind blew, and some snow fell from the edge of the cliff, none of them gave it much importance. it was a terrible mistake.

"I have a bad feeling dad" the little one said

"Don't worry son" the father snapped

"Yeah, little bro!" the older kid snickered "were gonna be fine"

The mother kept quiet, letting her family chat. the young pony tried to get over the feeling something was wrong. when they were about to get to the end. A loud noise surprised them, the youngest pony looked up. an avalanche was going down the cliff, the older ponies stretced their wings and flew away, but the little one who was very young, couldn't fly. his family flew down and pushed him away. the foal turned to them as they got burried under the snow.

"NO!" the foal yelled running to where his family was

he stretched his wings and flew to the place they fell. he searched for them under the snow for what seemed hours. the foal had a disapointed and brokenhearted look on his eyes. his family was gone, along with his heart and everything he had.

End of Blizz' memories...

Blizz' eyes shot open his breath became faster, he was sweating, and he was pale (or just a bit more since his coat is completely white). Applejack turned to him, she was worried. they hadn't been friends for much time but she had grown to like him a lot. she couldn't see a friend like him that way

"Hey Blizz"

"Huh?" Blizz mumbled noticing AJ "What's going on?"

"Are you okay?"

"I'm okay" he said with a fake smile on his face

"You sure?" AJ asked sitting on his side

"I..." Blizz muttered "I'm not"

"What's wrong?" she asked laying her hoof on his shoulder

Blizz, tried to hold back his tears, but he couldn't. he broke to tears on AJ's shoulder. she couldn't understand what was wrong with him, so she just patted his back trying to soothe him. after some minutes he moved away from her.

"now you'll tell me what's worng with you?" AJ asked

"I... just feel bad" he said catching his breath "I lost my family... and now my best friend..."

"I know your best friend, my cousin... but... what do you mean 'your family'?" AJ asked

Blizz slowly told her what he was remembering not long ago. Applejack looked at him again and hugged him once more. When Blizz was calm he looked at the moon, AJ knew he was sad, but he had a little simle on his face.

"They're gone..." he muttered "But I guess it's meant to be..."

"Meant to be?"

"You know... I think that my life would be different" He said smiling to her "I think the big boss up there wanted a different destiny for me..."

Applejack looked at him puzzled she didn't know what he meant, he was saying that beacuse his parents died he'd have a happier life. she got closer to him and sweetly asked

"What do you mean?"

"Well... I wouldn't know Jay, Frizzy or even Fire Tornado" he muttered "they're like brothers to me"

"You had no friends?" AJ asked geting closer to him

"I didn't have any of them..." he said "that's one of the things that make me think the accident was meant to happen"

AJ looked up to the sky there were no clouds it was a beautiful sight. it was ver soothing, she turned around to the pony next to her. Taking a closer look to Blizz' eyes she noticed they had no 'shine' on them, it was like his soul had gone in the avalanche. he looked blankly to the stars. each of them made him remember his family and firends.

"Ice Road..." He muttered to one of the stars "Big bro..."

AJ turned to him with a lot of questions on her mind

"Pink Diamond..." he turned to another star "Mother..."

"Mother?" she said turning to the same star

"Frosty Wind..." he said turning to one last star "Father"

Applejack's eyes watered when Blizz finished his sentence and turned to the moon, he tried to look at one more pony on his life, that blessing he'd never forget, but there was none. his best friends were options but they simply weren't that much of what he was thinking. then he felt something, something warm, soft and delicate.

"Huh?" he mumbled as he turned around

it was Applejack, hugging him. for her it was sad to know that such a nice pony had such a terrible past. he had no family, his best friend was gone, and just as if he enjoyed it, he swallowed the pain and said that everything that he suffered was meant to be and that all what he went through would lead to more suffering. Blizz' suddenly felt the wound on his heart close a bit. a little 'shine' on his eyes appeared. he embraced her, he felt his heart healing, it was that blessing. that little piece of heaven he needed. he then rememberes what it was to have somepony like that. he turned to her, tbu instead of feeling happier he felt even worse than he ever felt when he was younger. he shoved all his suffering over another pony, who of all thing had already suffered much in one day

"I'm sorry AJ..." He mumbled breaking the hug "I have to go"

"Where are you going?" she said

"I... I apreciate this" he said flashing her a smile "But my best friend needs me"

"but he said..."

"I know what he said he's always been a little bit too dramatic when it comes to sadness" blizz chuckled "he just needs a bit of tough love"

"Can I go with ya?" she said walikg to him "I'm sure you could use some help"

"Uh... sure" he answered with a tiny blush on his face "let's go, the sooner we leave the sooner we'll find 'im"
