Current Plot

[LAURYN]

During the creation of the Winds, only 2 horses are known to have called for a meeting for such a discussion. Now the story is told of Ora and Ika creating the winds, and nobody has heard the story of the third horse that was there. Nym, none other than the South Wind Queen herself, was the third to call the meeting and create the winds.

Woah woah wait. Too much for you?

Nym is 170 years old. She looks pretty good doesn't she? Course she does. In this lifetime she's only 5 years old. Confused? Sit tight cause here's the newest plot that's in discussion and that the members have almost complete control of.

All the Royal Herds are given a task by the Gods. Every equine and other living being in that herd has to accomplish this goal before passing on. Otherwise, they get reborn. When you are reborn you look the same, and have all the knowledge you previously had. You're just starting life over. These tasks are often hard to complete, and as you're high up in ranks you're task gets harder. The Gods did this because they felt that previous Royals did nothing but use their label against their followers in the previous years. Nym was originally born at the time of the War of the Alliances and was around the age of four (she's not quite sure of this) when the meeting was called. She can't remember why she was there or why she was special. Ika and Ora held some sort of great relation (not blood) to her or were in her debt somehow. Anyways, Nym was a very important mare of her time. When the Winds were created, Nym was given a Royal position. And because of this, she was give a task. She had decided to put the task off until she had reached her prime and had gotten the Winds more stable. During that year she had fallen in love with a handsome stallion against the will of many others. Nym doesn't speak of what happened to the stallion, and Sarabi barely knows herself. During this love, the stallion had basically took over every aspect of her life, and she forgot her task. Upon the stallion's disappearing, Nym committed suicide at the age of 20. Not having been able to remember, she has been reborn about 7 times now, each time dieing around the age of 20 for you die the same day and same time you died in your first life, although you may die in a different way.

Wait, did you say Sarabi !?

It explains a lot with Sarabi, doesn't it. Yes yes, Sarabi has been foolish enough to not complete her task, although her circumstances are very much different. Sarabi is around 130 years old. Ora, wanting an heir very much like herself, bred her descendants at a young age until one came along. Although looking almost the opposite, Sarabi's attitude seemed to fit the bill and she became Ora's heir. Because of this, the Gods gave Sarabi a task as well. Living forever and never dieing seemed to be great to Sarabi, and so she deliberately did not preform her task. To this day she still remembers her task perfectly, even though she tries very hard to forget it. Sarabi is on her 6th try at a perfect life, and met Nym on her 1st life and on Nym's end of her 2nd life. At first disliking each other, the almost 2 centuries as seemed to brought them together a little bit more. But isn't Sarabi older than Nym? Well in this life, yes. Sarabi is at the ripe age of 7. Sarabi seemed to take a shortcut in her last life and avoided the whole dieing at the same age and same day/time rule in her previous life and died at the age of 20 during a series of rebellious outbreaks and civil wars. Plus, its not like they died at the same time. They met when Nym was 20 and Sarabi was a young flicka.

So why no royals?

All the other royals have completed their tasks during the civil wars except for Nym and Sarabi. Your task never changes between lives. Because of this, and the death of the Royals family members, there are many open Royal positions. To tell you the truth, all the other recent royals died during the civil wars along with their families and completed their tasks early into their 2nd lives.

This tradition carries on with the new royals that are stepping forth. Sarabi still likes the idea of never dieing, and Nym just wants darkness to overcome her completely and to pass on and never return to her single formed body.

Tell us what you think here. You guys can edit this almost any way you want, just let us know what you want. This is kinda at the rough draft stage (:
