Beyond the great mountains, where the fog is thick, there is a place few dare to go. On the edge of a forest at the base of the treacherous cliffs, a single herd lives. Mystique was born there with the fog dwelling herd. She was powerful from the start and had a hard time controlling her gifts. Many feared her gifts and her herd started to resent her for the power. They shunned her for being so strong, her own parents whispering for her to contain them, to conceal them. She felt defeated and belittled by those that were supposed to love her most.
A day came where there were rumors about a land far from hers where herds from across the lands gathered to show their gifts and the strength they had. Mystique thought to herself, “Could there really be a place where power isn’t feared?” She asked her mother about it, “Don’t be ridiculous, why would such a thing exist? We have these gifts to protect ourselves and others. Not to show off and we all know you gave a gift of a monster, one capable of killing one of our own.” Mystique shied away feeling defeated.
She lay there awake at dusk, still thinking about what her mother told her. Did her herd really view her as a monster for having such a strong gift? She didn’t pick it and couldn’t help having it. Was he cursed to be hated forever? Dawn was soon approaching; she got up and decided that she couldn’t handle the feeling that surrounded her here with this herd, her herd. She left in search of the far-away lands where power was accepted and displayed.
She had lost count of the days she traveled, but with the wind at her back, she felt she was close. It wasn’t long before she could feel the charge in the air, feel the swell of magic. She came up over the hill to see a valley below. There were dozens on dozens of other zeracorns in the shallow valley. Many of them practicing their own gifts and others displaying theirs to the large crowds gathered around. There were others sparring with each other and a group that was capable of healing with their gifts. She had never seen such a thing. She never knew there were so many gifts; all of her herd had air like gifts and a few with water that could control the fog, but nothing like this. She was in udder amazement.
She strolled through the crowds taking everything in. She could feel the eyes on her, could they sense her power? Could they sense the monster within her? She grew less confident as she continued on, why were they all looking at her so odd?
Suddenly, she heard a deep raspy voice call out, “JJ what are you doing? Get back here! You are one of the healers for sparring! Amor go get him please!” She looked to see a small white zeracorn running straight for her. She was shocked. The small white zeracorn stopped in front of her and looked up. “Why are you alone? Where is your herd? Most come as a small group or a whole herd? Where is yours? Why are you alone?” exclaimed the small white zeracorn. She didn’t even know what to say to him. A zeracorn almost as tall as her, came up behind the small white one, “Hi, sorry about JJ, he is a handful. Too curious for his own good and he can't seem to contain himself. I'm Amor. Come JJ, we are the healers for these next few sparring rounds, we need to get back. Cronan is already mad at you for running off.” The small white one that is apparently JJ looked at the larger one named Amor, “But she is alone! Can she come with us? PLEASE?” Amor looked at JJ, “You’ll have to ask her if she wants to, she can’t just make her.” JJ whipped his head to her and looked at her expectantly. “Oh um, yeah I can tag along with you if that’s okay. I came alone…….I no longer have a herd.” JJ turned to Amor and smiled see, “See! I knew she would want to come with. We have front row spots to the sparring, it’s the best. You can see all the action there!” Mystique’s interest peaked, “Really, I can watch from upfront? I can see it all?” Amor answered this time, “Yeah you are more than welcome to since you are coming with mind if we get a name?” Oh duh! She had completely forgotten to give her name, “Its Mystique, it means the air of mystery. I am an air wielder and I came from the land of mists.” “That seems fitting, I’m also an air wielder and JJ there is a flora wielder,” Amor stated.
A dark stallion with six legs stood pacing, he looked up and stated, “What took so long, the match is almost over and you two need to be ready.” He glanced up at her briefly before JJ interrupt and exclaimed, “That’s Mystique, I found her over there, she is alone so I said she can watch the matches with us from the front.” “Oh really, since when do you make the rules?” “I don’t but she was alone……*in a whisper* she has no herd.” Mystique stood there awkwardly. The dark stallion turned to her, “I’m Cronan, leader of the Black Oaks herd. You’re more than welcome to tag along. But be warned if you stay JJ becomes attached easily. It’ll be harder to get rid of him.” They watched the remaining of the matches together.
Cronan was right, JJ gets attached easily. But she felt accepted and wanted with this small herd. So she stayed with them.

Short Story: The large black stallion strode into the show grounds, attracted to the massive gathering of Zeracorns. He was intrigued, having broken off from his bachelor band to see what all the hubbub was about. He was mesmerized by the vast variety of Zeracorns that had gathered. Big, small, strong and fast, he had never seen so many in one area. The way they  milled about and socialized, trading and teaching and performing. It was unlike anything he had seen. As he found his way to the sparring areas, he felt an excitement rise in him. Watching as Zeracorns displayed their strength, wit, and raw power made him eager to show off himself, though he had no idea how to enter. He circled the sparring area, watching curiously but cautiously for a while before wandering off again. It wasn't long before he was back again, wishing to spar with others to show off his abilities in the hopes of maybe impressing a lady or two to start a herd of his own.
