Now for a story :3

My experience on EA has been truly magical. I love creating characters and just bringing them to life on this site, especially my powerful horses. I am in love with fantasy, so powerful is just my style. I don't really now how this is gonna be a story, so can I just write a background story of one of my characters? Well I will anyways...

No matter how I strive to forget my history, it will always stick to me, never wanting to let go. I have actually scars from the past, both physical and mental. I was a twin, born along side my brother Xavier. I knew our mother loved us dearly and she didn't want to leave us, but we were forced apart. All I remember was her warmth and her trust in us as we took our first step. The strongest thing was her pride. Somehow, from only that i knew I loved her. My brother and i grew up in the life of hardship and work. When we were weaned from, well bottles,we began meeting other horses. At age one, i lost my my dear brother. After that I was in training and it was hard. I would have to carry heavy saddles on my back, take long flights through rough weather. Finally i adapted my power, the only thing that saved me from my life as a war horse. they toned my power and soon i was top of the class. i was put on the field finally. I fought many battles, killed many people and other equine. I am not proud of what I did, but i had no choice. The last battle I had, my rider was killed with that sword at that also injured me. I was brought back to full health by people I killed right after. i was driven into my madness from them and they had to repay. i wasn't sure if my brother is even alive, but my goal in life is to find him, sometime. I have to know what happened to Xavier. I am now feared all over the land,m know by many names; Fire Demon, Black Fire, and just demon in general. But I know my name, it stands for my deadly black coat. My power is fire and i am Exxia of the Night.

What a wonderful story! I knew right away that it was for Exxia. She is such a wonderful character and you did her well with this beautiful back story. Good job.

You got the first question right in the quiz.The powerful acres is the newest part. The other three, however are wrong. If you would like to try again, you may. Good guesses though.
