Everyone woke up from their sleep in the yellow cloth. The
heavy snow covered them over night. Stardust was the first to
wake up. He forced himself to sit up causing the snow to slide
off of him.
"Wake up!" Stardust yelled. He shook Skyview wake since
he had ear plug in his ears and wasn't able to hear him.
Skyview opened his eyes and yawned, then he took out his ear
plugs.
Luna yawned and sat up, she felt warm with her uncles and Blizzard
crowding around her.
Stardust past the food around, "There's not much food left
so we're heading back to that last town."
Luna smiled greatly at the thought of that warm stove that was
in the store.
When they had finished eating, Stardust unzipped the yellow
cloth and stood outside with Luna behind him, then Blizzard,
Starfire and Skyview. The snow was deeps to their knees. Blizzard
made an icy shell on his body to keep himself warm. Starfire
folded the cloth and packed it in Stardust's bag.
They began walking through the snow, going over hills and flat
lands. They tried their best to avoid the deepest snow spots.
Skyview was further left then his brothers were, each walking
side by side. Then suddenly Skyview fell in the deep snow burying
his whole body.
"Skyview?" Stardust called to him.
Skyview winked next to Stardust, "It's pretty deep over
there."
Stardust smiled, "So I noticed."
"The hills seems to be less deep than flat land," Blizzard
observed.
"Then Lets find a hill to walk on but be careful everyone,"
Stardust said.
They continued walking and slowly climbed a hill, then they walked
along a hill top and looking around. There was still nothing
but snow and hills. The wind wasn't blowing so Luna was able
to look around but her legs were still cold. The snow wasn't
as deep on the hill than it was on the flat lands. Luna found
it easier to walk since the snow didn't reach her knees. They
walked up and down hills wondering endlessly through the snow.
"Stardust are you sure this is the way to the town?"
Starfire asked.
Stardust stopped and looked at him, "I'm not...really sure,
Starfire. The hills and mountains seems to change after each
snow storm. I'm not sure if this is the right way or not."
"So you're say that we're lost?" Skyview asked.
Stardust looked away, "If you two know the way then feel
free to lead on."
Skyview, Starfire and Blizzard looked around and they had to
admit that everything looked the same.
"I guess you're right, Stardust," Skyview admitted.
"Everything looks the same," Starfire added.
"I know. Since the sun is gone I have no way of telling
which way is south, east, west or north," Stardust turned
and looked at his brothers, "I'm sure we'll fine away out
of here."
"But didn't that store keeper say those who comes here rarely
return to town?" Starfire asked.
"He didn't say they never return," Stardust pointed
out.
"Why don't Starfire fly above the clouds and find out where
we are?" Blizzard suggested.
Stardust smiled greatly, "Why, that's a great idea."
"At lest someone else came up with a great idea," Skyview
muttered looking at Starfire.
Starfire glared at him, "I would have thought about it eventually."
"Starfire, fly above the clouds and tell me where the sun
is," Stardust told him.
Starfire took his bag off and his cloaks, then he flapped
his wings and flew from the ground. He flew straight up and the
higher he got the colder it felt. Soon he was able to reach the
clouds.
Stardust, Skyview, Blizzard and Luna watched the clouds as he
disappeared into it. It was several minutes till he came out
and fell like a rock. When he came close to the ground he slowed
down and landed. His wings had ice on it and so did his black
coat.
"It's colder in the air than the ground," Starfire
told them. He quickly put on his cloaks and bag, warming his
cold icy wings in the process.
"Well?" Stardust asked.
"The sun is right above us," Starfire answered.
"That wasn't much help," Skyview muttered.
"We'll have to try again later if it's not to cold,"
Stardust told them, "For now we'll keep walking."
They began walking along the top of the hill.
