Renegade and Autumn

Story #5. Inspired by RPG: Dream Horses (no longer an RPG [not existing anymore]) This time, it is some sort of love story...but oh well. Work In Progress. Help is much welcomed.

Prologue:
Two brothers, one pure white, the other coal black. Both had been the best pals ever, until one mare made history. They fought because of her, and separated because of her. Now, there are two types of horses that each horse has a choice to go to. It just depends if they would risk their lives for it. The Lights are the good, though some turn bad. And The Darks are usually decieving and evil, but some do convert to the Lights. Generation after generation comes and goes, but this is the story of Renegade, the story of a courageos stallion that will never be forgotten.

Born a Dark, Ren (as they called him) witness the brutalitiy of the Darks, the murder of his parents. They were Darks too, but incidentally, Ren's mother gave birth to him, a grey, white spotted foal. Blackhawk was the leader of the Darks at that timei and he didn't tolerate light colours. He distested Ren and yearned to get rid (meaning kill) him. However, Ren's parents loved him and they prodded hiim to slip away at night when no one was watching. When Blackhawk found out what they were doing, he and his evil followers pounded the couple to death. Alas, Ren saw everything and knew he had to go. Reluctantly, he sped away, sobbing unstoppably.

After twelve days of running, Renegade came to a stream and drank from it. Seconds later, he toppled over in exhaustion. Unbeknowest to him, he had traveled over 3000 kilometers. He had this strange gift of speed even though he himself didn't know it. He then claimed this land as his, and named it Sorrowind, for he had fled to this place in his time of sorrow. Ren was changing, he did not suck in what the Darks usually thought to their foals. He begin to become kind and gentle. Two years passed quickly, he grew up strong in spirit and physically, enduring hard winters. He hadn't forgotten his parents but he knew he couldn't bring them back. But suddenly, he felt something he never felt before, lonliness.

At that time, a mare from the Southend Lands decided that she would not bear with her Light family anymore. It was not because she hated being good, it was because she had a split personality. Sometimes, she felt good doing good, helping others. But other times, when she saw the pearl necklaces that all Lights had, her secret Dark spirit would cause her to convulse and shield away. She crushed her own necklace. So, she ran away, she didn't plan where to go, just wanted to get away. She ran towards Sorrowind. Her name is Autumn, as she was born in that season.
