A fine snow evening, mist hanging loose in the air. White as far you can see. The sun shimmers like a little sleepy diamond. No noise to be heard, only the fine wind blowing. A huge turtle is seen in the horizon, with two boys sitting on its top.

"You look like someone has stuffed you" one man in blue chuckled. The other just responded "….Yeah, whatever"

The younger one was looking annoyed, though he did enjoy his brother's company. He looked to the sky, his brown eyes searching for the peace he longed to see, 'cause in his life full of adventures, he had little time for himself, let alone others.

He looked towards his brother, and could not resist a smile on his face as he looked at his blonde brother. Martin realized he was being watched, and turned towards him. Their eyes met, and they realized that after a long time, they found the love that bounded them. They grew up as siblings, but never did they realize the true potential of the love of two brothers. Chris turned his head, thinking all about the times, when martin had been his only hope. He thought that where he would be, if martin was not born at all!

A huge bang noised in the far hill. Both of the boys stood up, shocked. They exchanged worried faces as they sped towards the noise. There on the white snow, they saw two people carrying carcasses of snow leopards. They had gone pretty far, and soon went into a vehicle, that took them away.

The brothers reached the crime scene, as they looked at the place where the vehicle disappeared in the horizon.

"Poachers…." said one brother as he bent down to touch the snow, which was colored red by the blood.

"Yeah…well" the other said in a quivering voice, uncertain what to say.

A little noise startled them, and they looked at the ground. They gasped.
