"The name's Ekho and nobody's called me anything else.
It's around 8 springs since I was born.
My breed is as wild as it gets and I stand a little under 16hh tall.
If you looked at me, you would see a dark brown mare with black points and bicoloured mane and tail.
A small star rests on my head and both my eyes are of a rich, dark brown colour."
There aren't many, that have ever heard Ekho's story; not because it haunt her, nor because she dislike's telling it, but simply because not many care to ask. But you have asked and she will tell...
My story begins around 8 springs ago. My mother was a mare named Eulia and the name of my father is long forgotten, but he was the leader of Kopyto for a short while. A Dobytok stallion took his life not long after I was born, so my life was quickly marked by the war between the heards. I never cared much for it though; it was a stupid war. The only real thing in it was the leaders hating each other; why should the members suffer under their hate for each other? None the less, I grew into hating the Dobytok for a reason not even I know.
The first few years of my life was simple, careless, easy. When the war really hit me, was when the third spring after my birth had rolled past us. Someone from Dobytok took the life of my beloved mother, even though she was old and clearly no threat. It didn't make me hate them, but it was probably what started it. Over the years the hate has only grown. It isn't hate for the death of my mother though, but something I can't define. Like everyone else, I guess it lies so deep in us, that is has just become a part of everyone, no matter how old or young.
The seasons passed us and now that I am as I am, I see to end this war; destroying the Dobytok if necessary...
