Those who have courage and faith shall never perish in misery
As if the cold confines of the land were not enough, a now startling threat stood near her, her head jolted but she remained on the ground, her legs almost locked as if they had frozen over in the time being, the mare widened her eyes as she stared at the creature, her dark blue oculi lit like lamps, staring. Its grin tearing into her sense of hope and tranquillity, although the warmth it guided was pleasing at first, its words were cold "My deathbed?" she challenged, almost frightful of the response. The caliginous mare arose to her feet, locking her knees confidently this time, perhaps the creature wasn't here to harm her, or was it? She couldn't retain her confidence for long and buckled almost instantly, lowering her head in the process, she was obviously weak, almost now trembling with fear, the mare could not elevate enough confidence to look the figure in the eyes, her frail dim ears twisting and turning as they tried to find any sound, any sound at all that could comfort her in this alarming situation, she finally gathered her frame and rounded her neck, her forelock drooping in front of her white star, painted atop her black head.
The mare inhaled deeply and held her breath for a while, finally locking her eyes with the individual that stood in front of her, she wasn't dead yet and hoped to keep it that way for the time being.
