Two marvellous horses galloped into the icy realm. They knew that this was the land they themselves needed, if their breed was to thrive. Though they were siblings, they were the first of their breed. Icy manes and tails were ornaments on them. Odd runes were on their necks and hindquarters as they moved swiftly on the icy tundra.
A long while they had watched over the lands of Freedoms Palace as they sort out a place for their breed. Now, with this new land under their strong hooves they were finally home.
"We name this land Hau der Eis-Pferde," they said as one. The stallion was a dark palomino with pure white ice tresses, his sister, a blakc mare with a pure white ice mane and tail. Two different herd's they would have, though the others in their herds would not be royalty.

Cold snows stung against the pillars of wanderers as more drifted from the skies in sheets. Below the thick ice, deep freezing waters lay, just waiting to be discovered. Within them, wildlife teemed, small fish whipping about in the waters. Creatures such as dolphin and shark were not found in these lands; only the fit could travel through the depths of the tundra. Nearly, it had been a day since the water had greeted their bodices gloriously. Grass was feet below the granite hard grounds, only welcoming for those willing to work hard to get it. It was perfect, so perfect.
Shimmering earth hues danced as the sunlight flitted across it. With each breath, the warm air could be seen in a clash against the cold. In a way, it was somewhat similar to the clashing of good and evil. There was nothing in demonic nature about this land, not at all. Blazing orange eyes scanned the beautiful natural setting, the loose snows coming up to her knees. Millions of years had this land to form, unnoticed by all of their kind. Feet of compacted tundra lay below their daggers, chilling them to the bone. Silken pallid tresses floated gently at her shoulder as the tall vixen ambled over to the center of the land. Beside her followed the king of their kind: they were the Hykran, ruling the seas.
"Come on, Inachus," the queen called, knowing he had a tendency to take his time when examining territories. Picking up a slow trot, Rayna came upon several others. Seemingly, they were claiming the land for their own. Of course, it would be theirs too since they had technically come upon it at the same time. "Greetings," she called, bowing as well as she could in the deep snows. "I am Rayna, queen of the Hykran," she replied, taking in a deep breath of the icy air. Seeing the king come forward, she smiled. Even though they were not lovers, they were close. "I am Inachus, king of the Hykran," he replied in his deep muffled tones.

Eispbergkonig stepped forwards, with his sister by his side. "Greetings to you both, Inachus and Rayna. I am Eisbergkonig and this is my sister, Toendra. We are the leaders of the Eispferd breed, and this land already has an alliance with Ashton."
This was something that had already been dealt with, seeing as they had had a few hours here alone.
"We did not know that there were others here," Toendra said, smiling lightly. "Perhaps the four of us could co-exsist together as the leaders of this land? It's name in Hau der Eis-Pferde."

Pawing at the rock solid ice, it began to crack just a little. It would take time time they didn't have to break the ice open to have a water spot. Since their kind constantly needed water, they would have to find somewhere to lounge. Some of their breed preferred the coasts, while others preferred to live in an oasis or tundra. Not bothering to spare the time, Rayna moved the particles apart within the cold ice and spread it apart just enough for the two of them. Touching a dagger to the outside of the crack, she made it larger and more rounded so that the jagged edges did not cut them on the descent. Touching it once more, the water around them all became heated enough so that it would not melt the ice. Stepping in, she felt completely at home. From the waters, they would speak.
Seeing the young earth hued fae go for a swim under the ice, he knew she would soon sprout her tail. Taking over the conversation, he nodded. "It is nice to meet you both," he replied civilly. Normally, they wouldn't have shared their lands with any wanderers, let alone let them rule it with them. These were more than the average horse, though. They weren't normal, which happened to be good in their case. "Good, that will be helpful in the future," he tread in the water for a moment before changing the subject. "That has been the name for years, but we are new to it. There is nothing more I would want. We shall rule here forever," he smiled, waiting for their response. A set of rules would have to be made up specifically for their situation.

"Welcome then. I and my sister are also both new to this area. We will have to think on how things will work between all of us. Four leaders in a land is not something that is very common here in Freedoms Palace. We've roamed for quite some time, and we have only just located this area." The king smiled as he finished talking.
"How do you know that it has been called that for so long if you are only new to the area?" Toendra asked.

Silvery and beautiful was the king of their kind had traveled far and wide just to hear the tales of this land. Flicking his silvery whipcord casually, he smiled gently over to his friend in the piercing waters. "There is only one other land that governs with four," he mused, overhearing a small discussion about the forest territory. "But none will be as powerful as us. The evil that taints the land beside us shall suffer," he said, receiving a nod from the earth hued vixen that tread the water beneath her scaly fins. Hykran were indeed gentle and loving in character, but neither king nor queen were afraid to fight for justice of others. One day, there would be many living in the wondrous land of light. So strong would they be, so perfect. What a vision this was, but it needed something to get it started.
Back in Ujara , the father of the silvery one had told him of a treasure to any creature of the sea. It was a land filled with ice and perfection, a land of immense beauty - so much that it would melt the very heart. Addiction to the amazing landscape had set in, and they both knew they could not leave for long, not even if they wanted to. This was the only substitute for the homeland. "Many spoke of a land where two races could live in harmony and peace. I believed I was destined to find it. Instead of taking the crown at home, I ventured out to find a lost paradise. I have heard the name so many times, from multiple creatures. I knew I was here when I passed the secret valley," he smiled warmly, struggling to exhale.
Pawing the icy ground with great force, a crevice opened up that was just wide enough for the bodice of the king. Testing the water with his hock barely emerged in the icy water, he approved. Diving in, he felt the water against his entire form, nourishing his tired muscles and giving him life. Energy coursed through him as he met up with Rayna. Coming back up, he nodded in apology. Inachus had snagged his back left pillar on his way down, but water healed every ailment that they could receive. Bending it through the wound, it closed up nicely. "Sorry for that. You see, we need water to survive. It gives us life and powerful healing abilities over ourselves," he explained. Inachus had perfected his, but he was still teaching Rayna. Being two years younger than him, she had much to learn about combat and healing. One day, she too, would achieve greatness.
