Made for "OC in winter" contest, held by #OurContests ([link])

There's a fairytale behind the picture :D
The story was written for the RP game based on Andersen's tales and Northers myths, we are making with my friends. I'll give you a short summary of the story :)

In a cold January evening Bjarni, thrown from his father's home (his mother has died a few years ago, and father married another woman), was suffering from cold and hunger on the streets of the city, ready to take his death, when a strange horseman clad in white and silver found him.
Stranger offered to took the boy with him, and Bjarni agreed. During the long ride Bjarni saw that the horse was not running on the earth any more... They rode higher and higher, and soon other Hunters joined them, laughing and blowing horns - followed by great white hounds.

Later on, in the palace of the Snow Queen, Bjarni learned that those, who are called "The Wild Hunt" , are immortal. They all were children once, but left the world of men, and - being kissed by the Snow Queen, had lost all their feelings - joy, fear, happiness, longing. They live forever, but sometimes some of them feel a great desire to get back to the life they had - and the feelings they had. There's only one chance for them to do it - they have to find and bring to the palace another child to replace them...

Soon the stranger, that saved Bjarni, left the Palace, and went to the men - to die as all of them do. While Bjarni became a member of the Wild Hunt, getting the name "Blizzard".

So here are Bjarni and the Wild Hunter, going away from the world of men.

The Russian-speaking watchers can listen the song which goes with this picture - [link] ("Голубая стрела" Зои Ященко)

Sorry for the mistakes ^^;

Watercolour with a touch of gouache and Photoshop brightness/contrast correction.
