History of the Legendary Horses
Fiona, Jewel, Nike, and Thunder all have strong magical gifts and have used them to do many great deeds. As tales of their adventures spread throughout North of North, people began calling them 'the legendary horses.' Though these legendary horses' magic is no more spectacular than some of the other great horses, their bravery, wisdom, and eagerness to help others have earned them the respect of every creature in North of North. Some even say that, like the stories of their heroic deeds, the legendary horses have become immortal.

Gathered at Trail's End to celebrate the 100th anniversary of its founding, Fiona, Jewel, Thunder and Nike met by chance at Teardrop Lake. As they made acquaintances, a young girl entered the garden and knelt to read the inscription on the memorial fountain that stood by the waters: "Every tear is a memory of a love shared."

The horses noticed a reflection in the lake and looked up to see a regal white mare, Bella, walking across the lake's surface. As Bella approached the girl, the four horses recognized her as Sara, the goddess of horses. Sara turned to Jewel, Thunder, Nike and Fiona, and greeted them all by name. However, at that moment, an image shimmered on to the lake's surface: a picture of a woman weaving in front of a magnificent tapestry. Upon looking closer, the horses saw the tapestry showed all of them, with Bella rearing in the center. It was then that the horses sensed that their meeting had been no coincidence. They shared a magical bond and their destinies would be united forever in a grand and epic cause.

Sara told Nike, Fiona, Thunder and Jewel that the woman in the image was Fable, the immortal storyteller. Fable looked up from her weaving and smiled, beckoning her and the horses to look at the changing images in her tapestry. Together, they saw the fall of Sigga and the devastation of Trail's End.

Sara and the horses were horrified by these images, and when they were able to look at the tapestry again, they saw that all hope was not lost. Sara saw that she would watch over North of North for Sigga until the arrival of a girl on wings, who could set things right again. As for Bella, Nike, Fiona, Thunder and Jewel, they saw that they would all become legendary horses and that Sara and the girl would need their help to right the wrongs, and heal the wounds the tapestry revealed.
