The White Stallion

It is said when the first horse's come to the world by their father Feros, there was one horse that was loved by all and was Feros' favorite child and his name was Helustes. He was a beautiful white stallion who was fair and brave that all would of the horses made him their king. He was a loyal to his people and was always at the head of the herd to guide them where they need to be. He taught them how to cross the rivers, to fight the beasts of claw and fang, and to value the bonds that you make with friends and family among many other things. But Helustes was a restless soul and always desired to see more in life rather then lead his herd all his life. He also believed that his herd depended on him too much that they did have any freedom of their own as they followed him and did what he did. They were nothing more then shackled down by his will and he need to end it. So he pleaded with his father if he could leave his herd to travel, but not by land for he had traveled all across it while leading his herd from the lush forests to steepest hills. No, he wanted to ascend among the stars and see them and could be free as can possibly be. His father granted him his request as he had been loyal and selfless to his herd for all his years. Once he left and ascended his children would break apart into own herds that would scatter across the land as wild and as free as he was. This did not mean that he had abandoned them as every night as he moved across the sky he watch over them and guided them when they needed help the most.
