Four silhouettes sat on the mountaintop. They huddled together for warmth as the snow pummeled down from the sky.
"Arceus must be unhappy today," One growled.
"Yes, we haven't had snow like this in years," Another whispered.
The other two mumbled something, then huddled even closer. They all began to shake slightly, the cold trying to wear them down.
"We need to find shelter. We won't last long out here," A voice pointed out. The others nodded in agreement, and the group stood up, daring to touch the freezing snow.
They began walking aimlessly, the snow almost blinding them. Nothing but trees could be seen.
In an instant, one figure dropped to the ground, motionless. The other three rushed to its side, trying to help it up, only to find that there was no heartbeat.
One life had been claimed.
Tears stung at their eyes as they began to pick up the dead friend, dragging the body along. The tears began to freeze due to the extreme cold.
Another figure dropped into the snow as their life was claimed by the cold.
The remaining two dropped the body of the first one who had died, then began to run, leaving the bodies long behind them.
One started to trail behind, panting quickly. Just as the other figure approached them, the two dropped to the freezing ground.
The entire group had been killed by the cold almost instantly.
Suddenly, laughter. Another figure stepped out from the shadows, picking up a single body.
"You will make a great host."
Then, silence.
The figure disappeared into the night, snow falling silently behind it.
