Description I feel so bad for all the people who featured my characters in their amazing work alreay and I'm just sitting here and still thinking about a good way to reply to them but I'm so stressed with all the deadlines and ahhhhhh D: -hides in corner- I promise I'll get better at replying omg



*********************************************************************************************
Phase One - B
(Niya / Nebel / Karnauhova)
Weather forecast:
The first afternoon after leaving behind Zvezdniy brings a ton of snow to the area of Niya.
A literal snow chaos starts up in that area and there is absolutely no wind. You will have to fight yourself
through the snow masses and perhaps work on your social skills in the surrounding villages to get some
extra food for your horse. Trust the strength of your horses to get through this winter horror-land.
Those on tall horses definitely have an easier way here. It is mostly cloudy at noons and it is still heavily snowing
towards Nebel, the afternoons however could mostly turn out clear and sunsets paint the snow in surreal colors.
Karnauhova awaits with changing weather between heavy snow and high winds, blowing shallow paths into the snow
where you easily could run a faster pace. This week the max temperature is -7°C and the lowest is -15°C


*********************************************************************************************

One clear week, that's all what Russia granted the participants. After that, the jaws of a white hell had snapped around them. The air became too biting cold to be able to breathe normally and the sky wasn't showing any mercy as well. Layer after layer of fresh snow covered the ground, and it became harder and harder by the minute to pass through the open terrain. The two teams fought through the high snow in a slow pace, and both riders could tell how exhausted the horses must be. Well, the main mounts had to do nearly all the hard work cutting through the white blanket whilst the other two followed in their paths. "The woods can't be far, any minute now!" Ragna shouted towards the fur cowered companion at her side, "Once we can get cover beneath the trees it should get easier for the all of us." She was wondering if Raphael could even hear her through the snow storm. "I hope you're right, Ragna, I really do" He shouted back. He heard her perfectly well then. The woman chuckled at that, "Promise!"

This is a fantastic pic!! I can feel the struggle of steaming animals against the heavy wet drifts of snow. So well done!

I would hate to be out there D: The background is beautiful, though, and the characters are too. I like the little details, like the halter being twisted up on the last horse

Well, we got even more snow yesterday. It had melted and spring looked right around the corner. But mother nature dropped spring to the next block... So, Sweden's weather, yay. :c
