PALADIN
The sound of iron shocks is stuck in my head

Paladin had torn himself away from the Deep Forest and the evil there he sensed he had caused. He went to the only place he knew true peace - at least the only place that was still viable. Never again would his hooves fall upon the sands of the Moonlit Tides, his beautiful Tides. How long had he toiled to clear up the sugar sands of that beach he called hope? His daughters had been born there, he had ruled there, he had met Soleil there, and Valhalla.

Silverline, dear Silverline. He even missed Sarai, that troublesome mare. And what of Boudicca? What of Huyana? What of Altair? Aera? The stallion took a deep breath, trying to barricade the tidal wave of nostalgia that took his heart down into the depths of his emotional sea. He knew that he would never again walk on the wraith-covered lands he had ruled for so long under his iron hoof of equality.

Why had he hated Psyche and Giselle for so long when they were the honest of them all? He was a traitor to his homeland, deserter of his kind, dishonored to his father. How could he have pretended all of these years that he was righteous? Even the sound of the word in his mind was bitter and disgusting. He was not righteous. He never had been. All of his attempts at redemption were in vain.

Now, he stood, nearly crippled with pain in his joints, worn from his years of battling with all of his blackened soul. His mane had never grown back from where Gossamer's dragon had taken the skin away, and his body was marred with scars. He had always been a warrior, and now warlord. His bloodline followed in his hoofsteps with mercenary daughters and racist sons. The taint was too deep to erase with promises of the lips, whispers of love, emotion and good deeds. By the very core, his bloodline, was wicked.

He realized this now, years later, too late in life to do anything, and too overcome by the guilt and regret of an unknown action he had yet to face. Paladin hung his head beneath the long, rope-like leaves of the willow, bloody red eyes listlessly on the still pool in the center of the Grove. The beauty this place held was marred by his simple presence, and the demon inside laughed.

Open, preferably to older characters who knew him! Archibald, Midas, Ruske, Aaron, Lace, etc.
