An Omen's Origins
I was once proud. I bore you into battle so many times and I remember the gunpowder, the screams the explosions. They filled me with excitement. I’ll admit, once or twice, I might have been charging not because you were telling me to, but because I wanted to. I was not as obedient as you thought me. You were the only one who I would let ride me, and you were proud that only you could control me. But you fail to see that I chose to follow you. You made me look even better. I was the star.
The military parades were nice I guess, with people ohhing and ahhhhing at my gleaming mane and strong wings as I bore you at the front of your troops
