For many thousands of years equines roamed the land individually. This meant that horses rarely met one another and foals were very precious beings. One such being was born decades ago. He lived with his dam until the age of three and then set out to take his first solitary steps into the unknown. The Being’s name was Ballyon, meaning “Gift of the Gods”. Any Equine he met along his travels would be persuaded to join him, and thus the world’s first herd was created, with Ballyon at its heart.
The Gods were most pleased by Ballyon’s creation, and rewarded him with the title, Equusential, and three unimaginable gifts. Firstly, two wings were placed on his back so that he could take flight and watch more effectively over his vast herd. Second, a horn was planted upon his head like a crown, letting each and every animal know who he was, and finally, the greatest gift of all was bestowed unto him. The gift of immortality. He became a Pegacorn and could live forever, never aging, unless killed in battle by another Equine. Whoever won that battle, would take Ballyon’s place as the new Equusential, along with all the gifts that came with it.
Some horses heard what the Gods had given their leader, and craved his recently granted power. They split from The Equusential’s herd forming what they believed to be a greater, more powerful one, and these once so loyal subjects became the first Darks, plotting to gain the gifts of The Equusential. They sent many stallions to try and fight for the title. Many were no match for him, but one Stag named Shadoch stood high above the rest and went on to kill Ballyon.
But alas, this was many moons ago now. Shadoch can no longer be seen patrolling the lands, and many believe he was just a myth in the first place. But are they right? Some say he has gone into hiding from the gods; his dark ways did not work well with them, and they threatened to kill him if he disturbed the peace again.
So with the Equine world now ruled by the darks, the numbers of lights and loyal followers of the dead Ballyon are dwindling. Who will win the battle of good versus evil? May Shadoch ever be seen again, and if so, who will be the one to track him down?
