963 Herminia | Level 2 | Folklore or Fantasy

Everyone has things they believe in… or don’t believe in. The Lords were just stories to me while growing up. I would hear others talk about them and some would even gathering in grand numbers to worship them. They would fall to their knees and shout their names… “Aether!” “Hannibal!” “ Ares!” There was one part of my foal hood where I really did believe in them. I would even find myself talking to them. I had no idea if they could really hear me or not, but I kept going. 

As I got older, I think the Lords turned into stories for me. I still enjoyed hearing about them and I went to a few of those grand gatherings with friends and family, but at this point in my life, I had stopped believing in them. They were just ghosts in ghosts stories. When hard times hit, and my former handlers had to sell me, I was angry and mad and had no one to really blame, so I blamed the Lords, even though I didn’t really believe they were real. It gave me comfit to blame someone in those hard times. 

One night, before I was moved to my current home, I was out for a walk in the forest. I loved the forest and felt more at home here than anywhere else. The forest was dark and peaceful and the beautiful sky was painting with stars and other far away galaxies that I only dream about going to. It was almost eerie in the woods. Things were so quiet, I had to kick myself to make sure this was not a dream. I was not as upset with my handlers selling me at this point, but my heart still hurt for them because they were going to loose their farm and everything. 

I stood there in lush, green meadow hiding in the thickest part of the forest. I come here often to think. It is one of my most favorite places within the forest. There is the sound of the creek flowing beside me and look into it to see my own reflection looking back at me with the stars behind me. My pink neon horns almost seem to glow wight he light from the moon. At that point, I think maybe I would looks beautiful as a Lord, then I laugh at my thoughts because one is just not granted being a Lord. I snort at my silly thoughts….

As I looked up into the sky, I thought I seen something. A shadow figure, perhaps, but then it was gone in a blink of an eye. I felt this overwhelming power come over me and in that moment I felt even more relaxed and calm. I closed my eyes, wanting to feel it even more. I was thrown back into my foal hood when I did believe in the Lords. Maybe they were here with me? Maybe if I just open my eyes now, I would see them? As my eyes open it is dark with the start sky above me. I smile and continue on my walk through the forest. “I want to believe…”
