A Paragon of Her Kind

When life tears you down



The equines. For such a long time her kind had been free from the oppression of need for survival. Independence, hard fought and bitterly won, still surged in her soul, but she knew that in order to survive, compromises had to be made. Would this be worth the price? Only time would tell, but she prayed that the decision she was making would be blessed by the antlered deities.

What had wiped out her kind? She did not exactly know. Darkness had swept over the land nearly in a matter of hours. Her kind were many and varied. Some, like herself, glowed, even in the blackness, and they banded together.

But, that was not enough.

Things... creatures... living earth seemed to come forth from the shadows, summoned by some devilish sorcerer to destroy them all. Instead of staying and fighting, she had grabbed her prize and run. And she had not stopped running. Hooves and lower legs were still stained with the blood of her fallen brethren. If any more survived, she would be labeled a coward, but this had to be worth it. None could have survived... right? Not like this... Not with those... things.

The lady seemed to be fading out of consciousness before she snapped back awake. Golden, glowing eyes peered at the many faces, seeing a few had arrived late. So many souls... so many unworthy. Her vision was faded. She could not make out the shapes and shadows. All she knew is that one of them had to care for her precious child, the once future royal of all Cerndyria - now reduced to naught but a companion.

Ah, but she complains when so many come to help.

"I offer a prize of which there is no mortal price that can be paid," she whispered, her voice slow and deep. "The light is fading, so quickly. The child will not survive on its own." Deep sadness etched her features. "To one of you, I will grant my child as your companion. It is the last of its kind, to my knowledge. The child is precious... so precious... my people..." She wheezed a little.

"Go forth and gather. Return with items to make a nest worthy of this orb, for you might be the one protecting it here, in this very forest. Make a safe haven that will keep it from harm when you have to leave, will warm it in cold and cool it in warm, protect it from the elements, for its survival is of the utmost importance.

When you return and build, a second task will await you... to see just how determined you are to protect this child of mine. Darkness approaches, children of the four horse gods. Though its seems... it might already have begun."
