"WE stopped looking for monsters under the bed, when we realized they were inside us instead."
It was a long time ago...
The horses of the land were upset with the gods, who's rule over them had faltered, allowing hate and fighting to spread among all equines. Eventually, a group of horses banded together and rallied enough of their own to rebel against the gods. Of course, gods could do no wrong, and they punished the mortals for rising against them. Their punishment?
Immortality. Now, some may say that immortality is a blessing, but with this immortality came a heavy price.
The horses cursed with this fate lived forever in their rotting bodies, consumed by the knowledge that they could never escape their prisons of flesh. Their children suffered the same fate, forced to carry the burden of their ancestors.
Thousands of years later, those descendants have grown weary of their plight, and cry out to the gods for salvation. However, the gods themselves are divided. Some believe that the Cursed should remain as they are. That they deserve the punishment their ancestors incurred so long ago. Others think that the mortals have been cursed long enough and it is time to end it. Especially Hades, who has become irritated with the lack of souls passing through his domain.
For now, the Cursed must suffer until their fates can be decided, but we all know gods are fickle in their ways.
How long must the Cursed wait?
