Extra: A short story about her past
I remember the story my mother use to tell me as a young foal. She would speak of the legend of our herd, and why my friendship with another was so frowned upon by the others. She would use this story to try and keep me from the colt that proved my best friend, and later stole my heart. The story was one of legend, and soon I knew I'd have to get away from it.
A Long time ago there were two brothers. The oldest was strong as stone but as stubborn as mountain. The youngest was swift as lightning but fierce as flame. The two brothers were equal leaders of a Kingdom, two leaders that worked in harmony for the good of the herd. One day while on a patrol, the two brothers came across a rogue that spoke threats against them. The Rogue Stallion opened his lips and warned the brothers of a powerful being that could take the shape of their deepest desires, and then he threatened them with the truth of their fates. "If you fall victim to the creature's ways, then you shall die by the others hand. If you stand against it, together, then both shall live." The Stallion was chased out of their lands, and never herd from again.
A few days later, the oldest brother went out on patrol late one evening. He came across a beautiful mare, one with a pelt of gold. He wanted nothing but to keep her for himself, but because he was promised to another he brought the mare home for his brother. The two both sought out this mare, even while the eldest went behind his beloved's back. Each had her company in secret, and that is when she spoke of her truest motives.
"You deserve to be the only King," She said to the oldest. "You are much stronger than your brother, older, and wiser. Why should the throne be shared when you have the power to take it for yourself?" The oldest brother didn't take her too seriously in the beginning. He assumed she was only playing, but her words ate at him as he continued to share the throne with his younger brother.
"He wishes to take the throne from you," She told the youngest. "He spoke of using his strength to steal the throne away from you once and for all. Why must he be King, when you are faster than he and can take it before he can?" The younger brother couldn't believe the words she spoke, but his passion for the truth sent him to his older brother.
The two went to war, both secretly wanting the golden mare to be by their side as Queen. They stopped their war to try and find peace with her, and offered her the title of Queen of the herd and complete rule of the herd. "I can not be Queen to two Kings. I can only marry one of you, and that must be decided between you." With this the war began again, and the brothers and their descendants became enemies. To this day, it is forbidden to tolerate the other herd, and that is why my love for the Stonewash Stallion was forbidden... and why we had to run away together.
