Private Silver Sword is a Imperial solider for the Imperial Pony Empire against its rival: Equestria, in their second war. During a cold winter night on the front lines, where neither side was attacking and were sitting in their respective bunkers and trenches, Silver is tasked with the winter night watch. Which was said to be the worst watch job during any cold season. He knows he's not the only unfortunate one on watch, with the rest down the dirty corridors of the trench.

No one would want to fight in the cold, let alone stand in it, but sometimes, when you do, you can see and feel some amazing things.
