The Balinor Chronicles: The Celestial Herd
Chapter Six: The Lost Lovers
Days transformed into years since the meeting of Arodousna and Mellifer. Truth had slowly twisted into a legend in which Solaris and Mulciber had been beaten by a flower and an insect. Although the two Elementals didn't like that last past, the story spread and soon everyone knew of the red mare and the yellow stallion. And the wisest wondered who would be next.
For, indeed, there were others. Many others, each story like the next, of the lost lovers who gave everything for their mates. There was the fire mare Tuli and the land stallion Jordisk whose love merged them into the first volcano. There was metal stallion Alapfem who so deeply loved the earth mare Minhoca that they bonded (forgive my word choice) to create the mine and the metal ore that aids mortals to this day. Additionally, there was the sea mare Vesi, who so heartbroken that she couldn't mate with her love, the wind stallion Skoja, that she cried so hard and so long that the sea itself became salty. And who in all worlds could forget the fire stallion Sparare who so deeply loved the sun mare Occasus that his passion still lights the sky on fire every time the sun mare rises or sets.
But the most important were The Five.
