[Night Time]

A desert island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, never to be touched by man, but by equine. A large american ship filled with thoroughbreds, quarter horses, mustangs, shetlands, clydesdales, and other exotic horses sailed the big blue Atlantic they were bound for Europe. The weather was perfect until the ship neared the island. A hurricane struck darkening the skies, wild torrents of rain, and huge waves. The ship was being rocked back and forth. The sailors rushed to release the horses as the frightened equines raced across the slick deck. A large rock in the ocean hit the ship. It crumbled from the blow. Man and equine were tossed into the sea. The equines swam to the sea; all the men drown. Those equines that landed on the island were afraid at first. But a brave equine stepped forth to rise to the occassion. His name is never repeated..he went by Carson. His deep dark pools and icy dispostion paved the way for the first darks on the island. He ruled the equines harshly; punishing those who broke the rules. Wether it was not to show kindness or to talk to inferior animals. Some where banished and other killed. A little morgan stallion became the leader of those who were banished. His name was Windsor; his kind and gentle ways paved the way for lights on the island. He had been banished for both showing kindness and talking to inferior animals. He made friends with the deer and other animals on the island, yet he was msot known for being friends with deer. Then those horses who left the rule of Carson paved the way for Nuetrals on the island .Their leader was Noxze. He was kind but agreed to not talk to inferior animals. He was both cold and calm. So three main herds lived on the island. They moved off in different directions. The darks and nuetrals on the outside and beaches of the ocean, leaving the lights in the very center. It proved to help those darks in the coming war. Carson did not like the idea of three herds living on the island. He held a meeting with both Noxze and Windsor. Both stags refused to move their herds back and Carson grew angry. He decided force would be the best. He would strike the lights first and then make his way to the nuetrals. Gathering an army of well trained horses including a few percherons and other heavy drafts they marched to the River of Hope. The drafts were ordered to push rocks and block off the river. That river led to the lights and was the only source of water for them. The grass in the light area began to dry up and the trees fell hollowed. The mares were unable to produce rich milk for the foals.The Lights grew weaker and the nuetrals came to their aid. Leading an army of stags Noxze amd Windsor marched into the dark territory. Seluna and Twilight Noxze's mate and foal followed. Seluna was angered that the mares weren't allowed to fight. To prove that mares could hold their own she followed the army with over 70 light and nuetral mares. The war began. Seluna and Twilight somehow got seperated and were taken by darks. Noxze caught sight and let out a strangled call. Bolts of lightning came down to seperate the horses from Seluna and Twilight. No one know what happened next. It was said they died. Carson and the darks lost the war but the evil stag still lived. He sired one foal, Nightmare who's blood runs dark but she is light. And then something happened...that changed Nightmare's....life!
