Blood And Snow

You trek through the mercilessly deep snow, unable to differentiate your own skin at times as the blinding light blends your vision together. You've been lost for hours, days, years even. At first, every tree seemed the same and you were certain that you were walking in circles, but now you can't seem to see a single tree.

You're exhausted, the frost slowly seeping into your skin as you push your way through endless snow. Your arms and legs are almost entirely numb, and you lost the ability to feel where your tail was a while ago. Because of this, you stare down as you walk, unable to see where you're even going anymore.

Suddenly, you find yourself slipping; a scream rips its way through your throat, but you are unable to hear it. The last thing you see is a flash of red.

You wake up shaking and shuddering, a cold gust of wind against your already frigid flesh tearing you from your dreamless slumber. Disoriented and confused, you look down to see the source of your quickly dropping body temperature.
