Hey all, Winteraeon here. So….this is the start of my Western Phantom Stallion story. It's not finished: I had wanted to finish it before I posted it, but I need some motivation and I figured this would help!

This story is Phantom Stallion meaning all of the characters and their attributes are Terri Farley's…names and such. That's my disclaimer: I don't want to have to post one on every single chapter so I will post it here at the beginning.

THE PHANTOM STALLION IS TERRI FARLEY'S.

Also, this is PS, but its set in the Wild West, the 1800's actually so it's going to be out of character, out of the original storyline…and whatnot. So don't worry if it's totally different or only slightly different. I want it to be and everything has a purpose!

And….I know this is long, but it's a long story and it needs a bit of an introduction.

I actually did a lot of research for this story: it starts in 1871 and it jumps around a bit after that…It should be quite clear hopefully…It is, of course, a Sake story, but there is some mystery as well. Also, I know the Phantom Stallion is about Blackie/Zanzibar/Phantom, but my story is not. I'm sorry! I love horses as much as the next girl, but I found Terri Farley's story a tad…umm….well, young. So…this is not so much about her relationship with a horse as it is about a mystery she must solve and her relationship with Jake, her father and just generally those around her. I'll try to keep things the same, but if I change something at the point I am at now, I may repost my first chapter if something major is changed. I'll try to mention it, so don't worry.

Finally, many of the aspects in my story, places, people, vocabulary, are factual. I will give a glossary at the beginning of each chapter and an explanation after. Hopefully that will work out. Try to read them: it's actually very interesting and without the glossary, you'll have a hard time understanding what they're talking about.

Ok, I think that's all….can't think of anything else. I hope you all like it!

One more thing…the title is Daes Eage. Does anyone know what that means? If so...tell me! I may give you a sneak peek of the next chapter...:)

Enjoy!
