IN THIS WORLD, THERE ARE NO HUMANS.
IN THIS WORLD, THERE NEVER WERE.
IN THIS WORLD, HORSES ARE THE PREDOMINANT SPECIES - THOSE
CIVILIZED, INTELLIGENT BEINGS THAT WALK ALL OVER EVERYONE
ELSE. SURE, THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE STRONGER, FASTER, MORE
FEROCIOUS THAN THESE HORSES, BUT THEY COULD NEVER HAVE THE
CLASS, THE DIGNITY, THE NOBLE BRILLIANCE THAT THESE EQUINES
BOAST.
BUT THESE HORSES ARE IN NO WAY ALL ALIKE. THEIR PERSONALITIES
DIFFER VASTLY, THOUGH IN THE BEGINNING THEIR DIFFERENCES DID
NOT TRULY MATTER. IN THE BEGINNING, THE EQUINES WERE TOLERANT
OF EACH OTHER AND WERE ABLE TO GET ALONG, FOR THE MOST PART.
EVERYONE SPECULATED ON GODS AND VARIOUS CREATORS - WELL,
NOT EVERYONE. SOME CONSIDERED THE POSSIBILITY OF A GREATER
BEING PURELY RIDICULOUS. BUT AS THE MORE 'SUPERSTITIOUS'
HORSES BEGAN TO BECOME ATTACHED TO THEIR DEITIES, THEY BEGAN
TO DESPISE THE OTHER GROUPS, THE OTHER PERSONALITIES.
SOON ENOUGH, THEY WERE ALL DIVIDED. THE LIGHTS, WHO TENDED
TO BE OPTIMISTIC AND HAPPY-GO-LUCKY, THE DARKS, WHO WERE
NEGATIVE AND THRIVED ON CHAOS, THE NEUTRALS, WHO COULD
DISPLAY A BIT OF BOTH SIDES, AND THE REBELS, WHO DESPISED
THESE STEREOTYPES AND THEIR RELIGIOUS NONSENSE. IT DIDN'T TAKE
LONG FOR TENSIONS TO BECOME UNBEARABLY HIGH, AND WHEN THE
ALLIANCES COULD NOT BEAR THEIR HATRED FOR ONE ANOTHER,
ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. THE WAR STARTED.
COUNTLESS HORSES WERE SLAIN FROM EVERY SIDE, AND AFTER EACH
SIDE THOUGHT THEY COULD SUSTAIN NO MORE BLOWS, THEY
HESITANTLY MADE A TREATY. LANDS WERE DIVIDED BETWEEN THE
ALLIANCES, AND FOR THE MOST PART, THE HORSES TRIED TO IGNORE
THE OTHER RACES.
AND THAT WAS HOW IT STAYED FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, WITH VERY
FEW SMALL SKIRMISHES BREAKING OUT. BUT HISTORY TENDS TO
REPEAT ITSELF, AND THOUGH EVERYONE IS AT PEACE FOR NOW, THE
EQUINES CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER, "WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN?"
SOONER THAN THEY THINK.
don't judge a thing 'til you know what's inside it
