About this image

Coming across a recent battlefield, Graykin and the Twins surveyed the scene, taking in all the causalities that remained.  Graykin noticed that there was a horse that had stood by it's owner after he had been mortally wounded.  It was obvious the horse could have run away to safety but the evidence pointed to him staying and fighting to protect his rider and then falling after being overwhelmed.  It was a sobering scene and they quietly sent a prayer to Odin in recognition of the horse's bravery and devotion!

    It's always a shame to come across these dead horses.
    Such brave and loyal animals in the real world.

    Very touching! The bravery of that horse.. They're too brave honestly.
    I don't like finding those random dead horses across Skyrim

      Thank you! To tell you the truth, it bothers me too! It got to me just recently when I also found a dead dog at an outpost that had been overrun.

    Interesting colour of the snow

      Thank you for that! I was trying to bring in more detail and the color just seemed to fit.

      Thank you Izzy! Funny but it's more poignant for me to see a dead horse or dog than a person. Especially when they choose to die defending their human!
