The Seven Great Horses - Mistflower the cat (reading in the dark TXT) 📗

Prologue

 Some people say that the world was made from only four elements. But those are only the primary elements... The elements are like colors, there are some primary colors and some secondary colors. The primary colors support the secondary ones. Same with the elements. Water, fire, wind and earth are the primary elements, but light, ice and lightning are secondary elements. They are not as important as the primary ones. From a land far away, these seven elements played a special role. And each element was passed down to a horse. A horse that would bring them together, and one day, become a truly great power.

As the sun shined on the seven horses, one stood up. This one had beautiful blue hair and light indigo skin. She had the wings of and angel and a blue horn. She looked at the others and was looking for something. The others looked at her. One of them had brown skin and green hair that resembled grass. Another was white and had light blue hair. There was a another one that was a mix of red, orange and yellow. Those four horses had a horn and wings. They stood the tallest among the rest. There were still three more. One of them were yellow and had golden hair. That one only had a horn. There was another one who was light blue and white, but had icicles hanging. That one also only had a horn. Another was dark blue and had white lightning scars over it's body. That one only had wings. They were all beautiful. But one was missing. There were seven of them gazing on the grass. But there was foretold to be another one. This one was dark purple with black hair. And no one wanted to meet her... But the horses knew that the dark one could never follow them, but she would return to face them one day. Each one had it's own element. Water, earth, air, earth, light, ice and lighting. All seven elements in all seven horses.

 

That day, there was a terrible storm. They all cried in surprise and panicked. The horses got separated and they were never found together again. They each found their own owners. Some of them found each other, but others were lost. This story has remained a legend... Until those seven horses one day reunited...

 

Chapter 1: Life

As the sun shined on the stable, Tara woke up and got out of bed. Another beautiful Sunday was coming along. She gazed out the house and looked at the stable. The shiny red paint glittered in the morning sun. Tara walked down the hall to Luna's room.

“Luna!” she cried, “Wake up! It's time to go horse riding!” Luna twitched and turned around.

“Five more minutes! I'll be out of bed soon.” she replied. Tara shrugged and skipped downstairs. Luna and Tara were great sisters and both loved horse riding. But their horses were a bit different.

“Hi mom!” Tara greeted as she sat down to eat pancakes.

“Hello dear!” replied her mom as she placed another pancake on the stack. Tara smiled and started to eat her stack of pancakes.

“Going horse riding again today?” asked her mother.

“You bet! Aqua and I are going to have so much fun! We're going to head down towards the beach for a nice run!!”

“Sounds like a relaxing day!” cried her mom. Tara nodded and looked at the staircase. Luna walked down and yawned.

“Good morning mom!” she said. She sat down beside Tara and started to eat.

“Guess what? We're going to the beach!” pointed Tara.

“Really?! Ventus is going to be so happy!” exclaimed Luna. The two girls finished their pancakes and headed out the door. They reached the stables and opened the door. A light blue horse with beautiful blue hair looked at Tara. It had a horn and wings.

“Hello Aqua! We're going to the beach today for a little adventure!” cried Tara as she got Aqua ready. Beside Aqua was another horse. This one with swirly gray hair and light blue skin. It also had wings and a horn.

“Hey Ventus! Ready for a run?” suggested Luna. They got on their saddles and galloped off.

 

They started galloping in a field and stopped for a while. They looked at the horizon. It was beautiful. Aqua neighed and started to run off.

“Aqua! Stop!” cried Tara. She finally stopped.

“What scared her?” asked Luna.

“I don't know, but something sure made her jump.”

“We better head off to the beach. It's almost lunch time!” suggested Luna. Tara nodded and they started to run. Faster and faster, the horses started to lift up. Their wings were flapping and they flew. They flew over the sea and landed on the sand. Well, only Ventus and Luna landed on the sand. Aqua and Tara landed on the water. They were standing in the middle of the water.

“That's a new power.” admitted Tara. They started to head towards land where Ventus and Luna were waiting.

“Let's go for a run on the shoreline!” suggested Luna. Tara nodded and they started to gallop. The horses ran and ran. It felt so good to be running in the sun. They splashed in the water and raced off on the sand. The girls were laughing and giggling the whole ride.

“It's lunch time, we have to go home.” said Luna. They started to burst off and ran into the fields again. Aqua bucked Tara off and neighed. Tara laughed and lied on the ground.

“This is fun!” she cried. Luna jumped off and joined her sister as they lied in the grass. The horses were taking a break with them. As time started to run out, they hopped back onto the horses and headed home.

 

As they reached home, they stared at the woods.

“Let's go there tomorrow!” suggested Tara. Luna looked scared.

“Okay, let's ask mom first though.” replied Luna. They settled their horses in the stables and ran to their house.

“Hi mom!” greeted Tara.

“Hello girls! How was your trip?” asked her mother who was preparing sandwitches.

“It was so much fun! We splashed in the water and flied...” cried Tara but then, she got interrupted by Luna. They didn't want to mention the horse's powers to their mom. It would be too dangerous. Their mom never really cared about the wings and the horn.

“Very funny dear, you flied?” she giggled.

“I mean, swam in the sea! It felt like flying.” said Tara nervously.

“Hey mom, can we head off the the woods tomorrow?” asked Luna, remembering the conversation.

“Sure dear, just be careful. Be home by six o'clock when you go, alright?”

“Sure! We'll be careful!” grinned Tara. But the worst was yet to come...

Chapter 2: The monster

The next day, the girls got up and headed out the door. They met the shiny stable like the day before and saw their horses.

“Hi Aqua! We're going to the woods today!” exclaimed Tara. Luna looked at Ventus nervously.

“This wasn't my idea, but might as well have a go.” sighed Luna. They got on their horses and started to gallop towards the forest. As they got closer and closer, the wind blew harder and harder. Aqua started to slow down. Finally, they reached the woods. They started to walk a couple miles into the deep forest.

“Look! A raccoon!” cried Luna. A raccoon family passed by and stared at the horses. Their eyes started to glow red. One leaped on Ventus and started to scratch her! Ventus started cry in pain.

“What's happening?!” exclaimed Tara as a giant raccoon lunged towards her. Aqua neighed and created a wave that washed the raccoons away.

“Strange raccoons...” Tara sighed. She looked behind her to see Ventus on the ground, bleeding badly. Luna knelt down to stroke her hair. She was badly injured.

“We better head home.” she said looking at the trees.

“Which way is home?” asked Tara. They didn't remember where they came from.

 

They looked at each other in fright.

“What do you mean which way?” asked Luna nervously.

“I don't remember anything...” said Tara.

“Let's keep walking, there has to be a way out.” suggested Luna. Tara nodded and looked at Aqua.

“We'll be home in no time.” Tara whispered. And they were off into the deep parts of the woods.

 

They walked for several miles and they were all getting tired. Aqua stopped walking. The poor injured Ventus looked up at the trees and started to look worried. Something was scaring them, and it might just be the thing that scared Aqua the day before... Suddenly, they saw something fly by. They didn't know what it was. Suddenly, it started running around them, running super fast. It was sort of a dark color of blue, purple, black and green.

“There's more than one!” cried Luna. They started to run faster, and faster, and faster! Till suddenly, they stopped. Four huge wolves were surrounding them. They growled and saliva was dripping out of their mouth. Their teeth were super sharp and they had scars over their body. They all had a symbol on their shoulder. It was a skull in the middle of a circle. Aqua and Ventus neighed and started to freak out. Aqua started running.

“Aqua!” exclaimed Tara. Aqua ran and ran till she turned around and started charging towards one of the wolves. She let out a blast of water and some waves to wash it away. But there were three more. They came lunging at Aqua but she flew. Ventus looked at them and let out a mini tornado, but strong enough to blow two of them away. There was still one more. This one looked bigger and had even more scars. It growled and walked slowly towards the horses. Suddenly, a huge flame appeared and the wolf was surrounded by fire. Up in the sky, was a horse just like Aqua and Ventus except it's color was a mix of red, orange and yellow. It's hair resembled a lot like flames. It flew down and charged the wolf with it's horn. The wolf whined for one second and then, it was dead. Aqua calmed the flames with water and she started walking towards the fire horse. They first stared at each other. But then, they were so happy! Ventus felt happy too and neighed.

“What's happening?” asked Luna. The horses started jumping like they met a long lost friend. Aqua looked at Tara and shook her horn. Some sparkles came
