The sun had vanished behind the free plains, and the last of the orange eerie light was resting upon a struggling ebony mare. She snorted and heaved, snorted and whinnied for help, but no one was there. She was alone within the candle-bark trees and a pack of hungry lupes had heard her struggles, smelt her fear and pain. At last, with one final heave she gave birth to her colt, ebony alike her, but dotted with golden circles, they looked like stars! She sighed in relief, not knowing the presence of the lupes, "You will be named Midas Touch, of the stars you can reach and touch with your golden wings" she whispered to him smiling proudly, gazing at his gleaming golden wings, "Your sire will be so proud, of us both!" she exclaimed and whinnied in excitement, and the foal sneezed. The mare stood up and nudged her foal, but the mares' ears started flickering, sweat appeared on her neck and hide and she squealed, "Get up now, Midas!" she demanded and shoved her foal up. The foal wobbled on its long, unstable legs and fell again. The mare once more shoved the foal up and she saw the golden gleaming eyes watching. The foal stood, bounced and suddenly heard his mother scream, turning around to see a large white lupe upon her back. He whinnied in fear, seeing blood he squealed and felt something brush against his long leg and saw a small blue lupe beside him baring its fangs and growling. He squealed in fear as the lupe jumped at him, and a giant white aura with light blue swirls surrounded him like an electric cage. The colt fell to the ground, unconscious, for he was the holder of the great power, when he grew he would share the sky with the Eagles...

Chapter 2

Midas galloped across the paddock, his navy blue mane flagging proudly behind him, golden star dotted coat glistening in the glorious sunlight. He well shaped face, perfect anatomogy kept his long strides on golden-stockinged legs exactly the same size everytime. He reached the tall, barbed wire fence that stopped him from being with the wild unis. On the night when he was born humans had found him and raised him into his now two year old form. But for every day since the last two months a young white mare had come up to the fence and talked to him. As usual, she was there this morning and as usual she told stories of what dramas had unfolded and tried ot help him escape, but to fail, "Your just going to have to fly!" he urged him, but he opened his golden wings out, flapped them hard and went nowhere, "I can't though!" he groaned, "And i'm not jumping it, it's barbed wire!" he grumbled, the white mare laughing, "Dearest Midas, one day you'll run free with a herd of your own! And i will be your very first member" she giggled, nuzzling him through the fence, "But Star..." he sighed, "I'll never escape..." he sighed in exasperation. Star frowned at him, "Yes you will!" he whinied in frustration, once more trying to cut away the paddlock with her horn, but failing miserbly, "Our love will unite us one da-" she was cut short, ears flickering and she swiftly turned and galloped like a bolt of lightning into the trees. Midas watched her, leaning his head against the fence in sadness as the human walked up to him and led him back towards the shed where hundreds of young children awaited. He sighed and stood in front of them, along with other species, his glimmering coat frightening people, he was mocked for being different. Day in, day out it was the same, people would laugh at his coat, until on day an older looking lady to the rest came and saw him mocked, "What's your name?" she asked soothingly, "MissMidasTouch" he replied miserably, but she did not mock or laugh, but instead took him towards the front desk where the sound of exited childrens voices didn't chime so loudly. "That'll be 98 neopoints please" smiled a kind lady in a pink uni costume and Midas' new owner led him out.

Chapter 3

She trained him, cared for him, nursed him back to full health and finally he was the most magnificent stallion ever to be seen! "Midas, i found you a home!" Loversofnp laughed happily, "Her name's Kunama, she adores unis, especially special ones!" she beamed. Midas, knwoing this was his fate forced on a smile, but let Loversofnp ride him towards the adoption center, where standing outside the doors was a teenage girl, 14 to be exact, grinning at him, "Hello Midas!" she smiled warmly to him as Loversofnp handed him over, "I'm your new owner" she smiled sofly...

Ever since then, Kunama has let me be free, but i found out Star had moved away over my absence...But it doesn't really matter, for i own a herd, yes, i do! Herds Of Geraptiku is what we call it, about 5 different herd can fit into our terrain, and soon we will have 5 different herds! Though now it's only my herd, the Tallatiku herd, which is the highest ranking!
