» I watched, with every muscle twitched, they scattered with fear. Of them, the noises of them still echoed through every fiber of my being. How did they find us? We were hidden, they could never. But they did. Shrieks of panicking equines flowed to my thorns, I whimpered. Close by my side, her warmth calmed my fears. Optics gazed up at her tall frame, ivory canvas stained red. I cried to her, a smile shown on her face. Why? I thought, but she couldn't hear. I wished will all my might, I could tell her. A young colt now, my growth stunted and voice cut. She saved me, and I loved her. Now she would die and never knew.

» A pitiful grunt was released as her thin pillars collapsed beneath her. I cried, her breathing became shallow. Don't leave me! Her lyrics floated, song-like and sweet. As they had always been. Don't worry my love, we shall meet again soon... I gapped, still and cold as ice. Her creamy grey eyes faded, shutting to this world. All I could do was watch, as my love faded, gone...

» I don't remember waking, nor falling asleep. But my optics opened, I turned away. My undersized pillars struck forward, I couldn't just leave her like that, but I had to. It called me, not sure what, but I had to go. The world whizzed by, I payed no attention. They were all dead, my family long before. My friends, and her now too. The screaming has stopped, they were all dead.

» A light flashed, I jumped right out of my skin. Halting so fast, I almost fell. A light, like a star fallen from heaven hovered before me. Slowly, it drifted off. Pillars moved methodically, carrying my frame toward it. Faster, and faster, I moved to gallop after it. The world flew by, all that seamed important now was the light. As we came to a clearing, the light faded. I tried to stop it, say something. But like always, only a pitiful cry escaped my vox.

» My frame twisted around, searching for something. All that reached my thorns was the rush of a stream. Suddenly, I realized how thirst I was. Following my senses, I can to a part in the woods. Four equines stood before me, all with quizzical looks to their face. Each looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. Optics strayed to the stream, I reached my maw forward to drink. Stopping cold, the face that looked back I didn't recognize it. Older, like an actual horse, no foal.

» A strong neigh pierced my thoughts, coming from behind. I whipped around to the equine who spoke. A tall, muscular dapple with piercing azure optics. Now I recognized them. Foals, from my old herd, but they were no longer foals, as I was tall. The stag who spoke, Arctic. I looked around to see the others. Sahara, a thin beautiful sandy brindle vixen. Phantom, a grey and black stag with pitch black optics. Loner, a tall strawberry roan vixen. Sahara sighed, optics rolling back in her skull, looking from me to Arctic. Loner and Phantom stayed silent.

» I turned back to the stream, looking back at...me? My appaloosa coat looked almost hansom, and I was actually tall. I sighed, wishing Sky, my love was here. What is going on? I froze, my voice...I could use it. They looked shocked as well. Turning, I suddenly knew. The rest was a blur, we galloped the mountain, they behind me. We looked, our island was now split into five, us on the main. They left, one to each island to call their own. I was alone once more, and it happened.

» The light, again came to me. My kissers warmed to its touch, and it told me. This island, for powers. Your power, for your life. Your life...to be with the Sky. Sky and Sacrifice together... I agreed, the light spreading it's power to every corner of this island. I felt myself leave, and she was there. Together...Forever

» A year after Sacrifice' disappearance, a young equine named Cronus, came into existence. No one knows how, therefore he was said to be the son of the Sky and the Island. He was touched by the light, and gained supernatural powers. This was the beginning of the island's equines. Now, equines born to this world, come here. This island, now is called Sacrifice Island. If you come, find the light. Your power comes from the light, and those who don't are normal as always...
