History of the Asrire Unicorns

Hundreds of generations ago the Asrire lived on one planet in one world only. They were a warrior race with physic powers beyond that of any ordinary creature. Large with feathered feet for the cold climate. There hooves where solid, and their coloring was like that of horses in our world. Black and white where the least ordinary colors. Those Asrire with a pelt of either shade where much more powerful then the normal Asrire. It was prophesied that a foal black as the night would herald the end of an age, and of their world.

A foal was born of the white mare Snow Spirit and the black lead stallion Guardian Storm. It was black as the night and very powerful. As the foal grew the violent storms and earthquakes that had plagued the world of the Asrire starting at the birth of the foal only grew worse. The Asrire, in desperation threw the foal out of the herd to live or die on his own. He disappeared never to be seen again. Even those desperate measures had no effect. During this oppressive time the Asrire discovered a new ability of their powers, portaling. This gave the Asrire a way to escape their broken world. The sorrowful part this power is that not all of the asrire had it. The mutation color gene seemed linked to the power to portal. Only twelve of the herd of over one hundred asrire could escape. When created the portals where so unstable only one could go through, and because it used up so much of the Asrireís energy it could be performed only rarely. With the planet getting worse the asrire that could escape did, leaving the rest behind to wait for destruction. Eventually the planet was destroyed.

The few asrire that left their world survived by fleeing through the portals. They spent many generations wandering through the portals. They found another problem with this mode of transport, not everyone that transported went to the same place. Since the heard leader was usually the one with the most power, the Asrire evolved a unique habit. Any one of the asrire could home in on the leader. Eventually this guided them through the portals. All the asrire could find the place of their leader. Finally they found a world suitable for a new home. Bringing all the Asrire to it through the power of their king. As time passed only one with the homing power appeared. They called this high leader their king.

They many generations of asrire lived in that world happily until it happened again. Their new home was becoming unstable. Forced to move on the asrire portaled again. Some where sent far into the shadow realm worlds, a horrible place full if dangers to rival even the power of the asrire. The Asrire continues finding new homes again and again, then fleeing through the portals as each world became unstable.

The Asrire Adapted to their new lives and became very different from there remote ancestors. They where smaller most with bright colors and with cloven hooves. They had less raw power, the main talent was in portaling. They had grown in number, now many hundred asrire where in existance.

Eventually the Asrire King Midnight Sun came into Sirah's realm, bringing more of the asrire later on. They didnít know that her realm was inhabited. When the earthquakes started, much faster then usual this time Sirah went to investigate. She found the asrire, and discovered the reason the Asrire destroyed most worlds after several generations. Though they had less actual power, it was still enough to overload every world they made home. As long as the asrire where spread over a great area each world would be safe. Due to the herd nature of the Asrire Unicorns they where forced to move on to other realms. Separating into smaller herd with a stallion as leader. Which is why today trustworthy wanderers have the chance to bring an asrire into their realm.

Sirah after listening to the history of the Asrire was curious to what happened to the Asrire's ancestors, there was a chance the absence of six had been enough to change the balance. Going back in time many thousand years she arrived right before the planet exploded. The black foal was standing in front of her. Bringing the foal back in time Sirah gave him a home in her realm. The asrire of the past where very different from the Asrire she knew. She gave them each separate names. The Asrire of her realm being simply the Asrire. The ones of the past she named the Anditan'Asrire, the Great Asrire. Going back many more times she brought more of the Anditan'Asrire back. Asking caretakers of other realms if they would like to give one a home. Most accepted so the Anditan'Asrire spread.

A asrire of any type is most powerful as a foal through adolescence. This is foals leave their dam's to wanderer through the portals again, being careful not to destroy any worlds. Sadly the only place undirected portals open is the shadow realm worlds, most survive, so all foals end up their and come home with only a few scars either mental or physical. A few never come home.
