It was cold.

You couldn't feel your fingers, toes anymore, the snow biting and seeking out the only warmth your small body had left. You wrapped your thin coat around you tighter as you slowly trudged through the deep snow, each step more of the frozen slush seeping into your shoes.

Hours earlier you had been wrongfully chased out of your village home.

One last step and you collapsed into the snow, shutting your eyes as a figure ran to you.

"Hey now, try and stay awake for me." He spoke.
