An older Light blue Stallion in a comfy wool hat and a warm parka trudged across a cold and icy white tundra as his grey, nearly white eyes sharply gazed upon the seemingly harsh and unforgiving land. He looked back at the purple colt not too far behind him and smiled as he watched as he green eyes darted around looking at everything, brining a contented smile to the bearded ponies face. He looked around as he motioned for the colt to come over and pointed up at the darkening sky.
“Soon a bright star will shine right that way” he said lifting one of his snow shoed hooves up and pointing north. “Heim and most of our camps can be found using it as a navigational aid. Because if you follow the North Star it will take you into the hills and into clear air and you will see where you need to go home” he smiled softly and nuzzled the colt as he moved along.
“I remember when my own father, who was just a forger among the tribe taught me this lesson. He told me if I was alone to always look for the North Star and everything will be alright. To trust in the merkingar um vindi and that as long as you stay a kind and gentle pony that nothing shall befoul you” he finished with a gentle smile as he looked up at the now appearing star. Gazing upon it fondly as he watched as his son joined him.
It reminded him of his own youth, when he had a lot less responsibility and could fool around more. He could do so much of that anymore seeing as he was the first of his own family to be made Tribal Chieftain. He shook his head softly as he giggled as he looked down at his son beside him and his thoughts drifted to his daughter taking care of the sick and elderly in the tribe’s only permanent city of Heim.
He finished his brief trip thru nostalgia and deep thought as he snapped out of it and looked around and spotted a quite rare delicacy by mere chance, some Purple mountain flowers. He smiled widely as he cantered on over and motioned for Vindur to join him over there as he smiled lovingly to the colt. “Here my son you may have first pickings, for I love you and wish for you to be best taken care of” he said tenderly, he was a naturally caring pony but by comparison when it came to his foals came before him.
