DIS bred stallion "Magus Cruorem" (eng. tr. The Blood Mage)

The newly fallen powder snow in the yard beloning to Darklight Stables was again taking to the air. Protesting, challenging neighs echoed between the protruding remains of the stone walls as the blood red stallion reared and danced, kicking up a spray as he and his handler vied for supremacy. At the moment, the battle could go either way...

This uncooperating appaition had been an unexpected surprise when discovered in one of the gorges of the valley. He had to be at least a year old, if not more - and his markings so distinct and similar to that of one of the stable's bred horses that they had to have, if not the same sire, the magnificent if badtempered stallion Mako, so at least one from the same bloodline.
It had been a whole two days work just to capture him and several weeks of gathering evidence of his whereabouts and even existence before then. An existence that the stble had been alerted to by finding some of the other horses nervous and sometimes even injured with no normal explanation.
Normally the stable's owner wouldn't interfere with most of the natural comings and goings of the Valleys inhabitants - seeing as most of the horses here ran wild anyway with only a select few having been domesticated but this one had proven himself a danger to those same horses and would have to be dealt with.
As dangerous as he was stunning to look at, the stallion deserved the name he'd been given; "Magus Cruorem" the Blood Mage.
