Many, many moons ago, our world had been devoid of plague and disease. The Lakota lived long lives filled with song and dance to their One God. It was peaceful time--perfect for all but the wily coyote. Naturally the trickster of the Gods would grow bored with such tranquility. He had tormented the women of the tribes, watched people from the skies for his own joy, and stolen food during harvest. Why not cause mayhem for his own pleasure?

He sought out the great sea monster, born from Inyan, the primal being, sourceless and source of all. "Iya! Iya! The Lakota are laughing at your feeble winds and petty rains! They do not think you would dare enter their domain and ruin the peace they have gained." He said this to anger the Evil God and was successful.

Iya traveled in a great storm, great winds circled the lands of the Lakota and plague soon followed in his wake. The elders died of pox and ailments of the spirit, children were born still, and the people cried out to their One God for aid. "We are dying! We are dying, Great One! Please, save us from the diseases."

He heard their cries and seeked Keya the Turtle for he had always been a being of protection and healing. He spoke of the troubles his people were facing, but as we know, turtles are slow thinkers and he requested a few days to think of a matter that would cure the Lakota.

Naturally, any solution Keya came up with would not return the people to their once peaceful lives. Disease once planted was hard to remove from the land. He journeyed to the Sky Road and asked Hihankara for guidance. She offered her own Wamaka Nagi a yellow as pure as the corn that grew with a long gleaming golden horn. "My Golden Unicorn will heal the One God's people once more. But be warned that if most should be pushed from my path than are allowed to pass, I shall take him back to the sky with me."

Keya took the rope from Hihankara and lead the Golden Unicorn back to the One God. He told of the warning the crone Goddess had given and handed the lead over, who presented it to their medicine man. Health returned to the people once more and their lives were long, but filled with evil for the stain of Iya was still on the youth.

A great war broke out within the tribes over the golden steed and many lives were lost. Hihankara was grieved to see such bloodshed over such petty squabbles, most were sent back to wander the lands as ghosts. True to her threat, she took back the Golden Unicorn and plague and disease returned. But not before the horse had taught the medicine men different healing remedies--many of which are still used this day.

And so the Golden Unicorn was lost to us, but he wanders freely in the lands, coming to the aid of people at their most dire time or to bear them up to the Sky Road for judgment.

Well, this wasn't how the adventure was suppose to go. She wasn't suppose to lose her left and right hoof boys because it was getting a little late. They were suppose to find the Golden Unicorn together. And now she was by herself with the last clue. She didn't have the heart for this now that she was by herself.

And it showed with her head hung a little low and her wings a little droopy looking. She wasn't even wagging her tail in excitement like all the other times she'd been off on her own. But that was because she'd started this with Alexiel and Imriel.

"Och, why did their Etsis 'ave te call'em 'ome," she muttered under her breath. This just wasn't fair.

A white colt was out in the brush wandering off as he normally did, usually before dark his father would find him sometimes not. The woes of being a single father and having no back up. Ares could manage for himself though; well at least he thought so. He had a bit of a temper problem, but that was his main set back in life. The boy also didn’t have many friends and by many he had none. It was rather unfortunate but for some reason he had a hard time relating to the other foals his age. They were usually blabbering about something utterly boring and of no relevant information. Wanting to play tag, because fighting was some big deal to their parents. He liked the thrill, adrenaline of being in combat. He always imagined himself as being some great war horse. Unlikely it could ever happen, but he could dream. The other problem was he wasn’t a great, talker. Socially awkward would be the best way to describe the young hooligan. He looked out with his bright blue eyes and had seen nothing in sight. A thwack and a boom came from the clouds signaling some kind of storm or light shower in the near future. With his wings tucked in, he scurried along. It wasn’t long until he heard another voice mumbling in the short distance, curious as he was he thought he would go check it out.

It wasn’t long before he saw the red colored female who looked quite upset, his brow furrowed unknowing what to do. These emotion things, really wasn’t his style. Comforting wasn’t in his vocabulary and often times when he tried to help it made it worse. “’Oy,” he exclaimed, “Loose y’er mum or something?” That’s the only thing he could guess, with her being alone and pouty, that or she did something bad maybe? Ares was also a terrible guesser, and couldn’t predict hardly anything. More often than not he didn’t try so it made him come off like a goof ball as well.

The flaxen filly looked up at the sound of thunder. Just what she needed to add to her disheartening evening. Rain. And that would mean wet wings. Ooh, her father would be very upset if she came home soaked again.

And then she heard a new sound, a shout. She looked at him with big blue eyes. This was a new one. He wasn't one of her playmates, though he was closer in color to Alexiel but with less wings. "Nah, Ah dinna lose me Etsi. My friends 'ad ta go 'ome when we were close ta findin' te Golden Unicorn."

"An etsi? Wha' is tha'?" The colt looked to her curiously as he started to process her other words. "Golden unicorn?" he questioned again. "Why do you need wanna those?" he inquired. He'd met a few unicorns, knew they were healers, but why did one have to be golden...like the color? Or a statue. "And wha' makes you think one is 'round here?" He looked at the filly curiously. "Oh sorry. I'm Ares," he gave her a cheeky smile, before looking around at the sound of another crack of thunder. His cool eyes falling back to hers a bit sheepishly.
