Horses Info and Background (this is associated with my story):

Spirit was born with a unique pattern on his coat and a look of elegance about him. His mother knew that one day Spiritwould grow to be a very powerful stallion and lead a herd of his own. Spirit as he grew to be taller then most of the other foals and his eyes held an unnatural glow often associated with spirits. As he grew so did his muscles and soon he could overpower many of the yearlings in the herd; By the time he was two he was so powerful the herd leader finally decided that he was becoming to dangerous for the other young males so he put him in with the older more experienced males.

Once there he began being trained by the other older much more experienced males and soon he began to reach his full potential. His father (the lead stallion) knew that one day his son would replace him as leader of the herd; Even so he continued his training. One day in the summer of Spirits 4th year his sire was killed by a rouge cougar defending a herd member. That was the saddest time in Spirit's young life and he mourned for a month before realizing that he needed to pull himself together.

He realized that he was the herd leader and being so meant any show of weakness could cause one of the other stallions to challenge him for control of the herd. He began patrolling the edges of the herd for dangers that could harm his herd and once winter started coming over the land he began moving them south where it was warmer. He moved them as fast as he could but they still lost some of their numbers to element and other predators.

Soon they got to where they were supposed to be going but the numbers of the herd were severely depleted and Spirit had almost lost hope that the herd would survive. The he heard a whiney in the distance and two horses, three wolves and a border collie came running over the hill. At first he thought that the canines where chasing the spiral marked horse and chocolate spotted horse but soon he realized that the animals where following them.

The Spiral marked horse came right up to him and sniffed his shoulder inhaling his wild untamed scent.

In a voice that sounded like bells ringing sang out from her. "Hello I am Crystal Spirals and this is my match Chocolate Spirits; Also the three wolves and the dog are Linka, Briser, nd Kalic; we have been roaming this land for many days without food, water of protection. Could we stay with you at least for the night?"

"You may stay as long as you wish, with our numbers being depleted as they are were we could use the extra herd members but unless those ‘animals' are tamed they may not stay." he said in the deep voice of a herd leader.

Linka walked up to him and bowed down which made her mate Briser growl. In a melodious voice she said, "I promise me nor my pack will hurt any of your herd as long as we remain in the herd. We will protect the herd with our last dying breath and even beyond that. Should we ever desert our post our lives shall be forfeit and we will gladly be exiled to the other worlds."

"Like heck I will." Snarled Briser.

Linka snarled at him, "If you wish to remain the Alpha male of the pack you will do as I say."

"Ok Ill do it," said Briser bemoaning his poor treatment. "But I wont like it so don't expect me to. Plus why are you deciding that the rest of our lives will be forfeit as well, i don't know about you but Im in no mood to die."

Linka laughed at him with a doggy grin then turned to look back at Spirit, "Now may we stay?" she inquired.

"You may stay, but know this if you or your friends, place one tooth on any of the herd members their life will be forfeit and so will yours, and that is a promise." With that he turned away and went of to patrol his borders.

Briser still grumbling to himself about selfish females went and curled up by a tree alert to any dangers that may come their way.

Skipping to Two Weeks Later for the sake of holding some of my story back so I still have something to tell

Spirit strode towards the top of the cliff overlooking the valley, the sun carressed his mane and back setting it aglow giving him an ethral look. He looked over the edge at his herd, amazed how it had grown since they had gotten here. As he thought about it hiis mate and lead female Artalia walked up next to him.

Flashback (sort of its just telling how they got sso many since i skipped those weeks)

Once they had gotten settled other strange horses had arrived one such horse was a mare white with a blue saddle marking on her back, her hooves where gold and they glowed the same coler, she had a blue star around her eye and the tip of her nose was gold. Strangest of all was the star necklace she wore around her elegant neck.

Her name was Artalia and from the minute Spirit saw her he knew she was his mate and the lead female of their herd.

Personality: Spirit is a horse that acts strong so his herd will prosper but on the inside he is a sweetheart that just wants to be loved. Often his seriousness gets him in trouble with the other herd members because sometimes its just not the time to be serious.
