Long ago, wild horses roamed the land of Aestival peacefully. Their numbers were small, but the herds were closely knit and there was a strict order. Days slipped past peacefully and lives came and went with the rising and setting of the sun.
Then tragedy struck. A young stallion was born just south of The Tain Mountains. This foal was strongly built from the beginning and later showed signs of an explosing temper. The foals name? Vladimir. Vladimir grew and matured, learning quickly the trick of intimidation. At the height of his power, the monolithic stallion's mere shadow struck fear into the hearts of all who encountered him.
Vladimir's sole purpose in life was to create chaos and destruction. He rose to power at the early age of four and led his Blacknights on a reign of terror across the unsuspecting country of Aestival. Entire herds were driven off cliffs at Vladimir's order and any unwanted slaves were forced into the ocean by the stallion's army. Submit or die.
After fifteen years of havoc, the midnight brute had started to become slow. Stray silver hairs had begun to invade his coat. Fearing his leader's inevitable weakening, the head of the Blacknights and Vladimir's own son, a striking black youth by the name of Hannibal delivered a fatal blow to his sire's head. Aestival was thrown into instant Hell. Fights broke out and the country suffered from internal chaos. In a plea to save his own life, Hannibal fled the known country. The Blacknights' splintered and faded into nonexistence. Aestival began to rebuild itself.
((TWENTY YEARS LATER)) MODERN TIME
An elderly horse has wandered into the lands and was taken in by a coastal herd. The old horse was reported to be the color of the night sky, with a silvering muzzle and a quick eye.
Who is this newcomer? And could he be linked to the mysterious reappearance of the only two surving Blacknights, Mourgan and Krass?
Which will you choose? Submit? Or rise against this new evil?
