Long, long ago... Before lights and darks, there were merely opinions, on how life should be lived... It all began here, in the realm of Tears of the Moon. An odd name for a land, no? Well... This is how it came to be...
In the land, now known as Tears of the Moon, there was an enormous herd, consisting of horses, and an even larger harem of wolves, both living on the same land. Naturally, there was conflict between the two... The wolves would constantly attack the equines for food. The equines were known as 'Brilliante Gladio', and the wolves 'Tears of the Moon' You see, this was before the lights and darks... So, each harem had a name, and every harem knew the names of all the others. This is how they were classified before the alliances.
As the equines of that land grew scarce, a foal was born. His name was, Etmose. Etmose was born with a muscular, strong build. As a colt, it was only natural that he was curious. He wandered a small way from the herd, only to find a wolf pup. At first, he braced himself, ready to fight the young canine. The dog only laughed at the equine's braced pose. "You don't have to worry. I have no interest in eating you... Don't flatter yourself." The young wolf teased. "My name is Kemin, what's yours?"
Etmose tilted his head in confusion, and stared blankly at the wolf. His posture relaxed a bit at his second set of words. Kemin... "Umm... M-my name is... Etmose." He stuttered quietly, still unsure of the situation. Kemin truely had no interest in eating the colt. A smile suddenly took hold of Etmose's kissers. "Bet a wolf can't run as fast as a horse...!" With that, Etmose took off. His long, colt appendages clumsily pulling him along. Not long after he bolted away, Kemin took off after him. They ran for what seemed like hours, then lay down in the grass. The wolf knew nothing about equines, and the equine knew nothing about wolves. There was much conversing to be done... They talked for a long time, each second bringing them closer together as friends.
When the lead of Brilliante Gladio realized that Etmose was missing, he took off in search of the young stag. At the sight of Etmose's laying body, and a canine next to him, the lead swelled with anger toward the wolf. A sharp kick quickly sent a screech of pain from the canine's chambers. Etmose glared up at the brute that towered over him, with anger and fear. He quickly rose to his feet and stood between the wolf and the horse. "This is Kemin, he wasn't trying to hurt me... He wouldn' hu..." Etmose's words were interupted with the large equine's own words. "That is because he is a pup... Don't ever befriend a wolf. No matter how close you think you may be to them, they will always turn on you... They only view equines as food." With that, the stag nudged Etmose forward, and Etmose began trotting toward home. He turned his dial frequently to look at the sad eyes of Kemin, who still lay in the grass, just watching them leave. Why can't horses and wolves just get along...? Was the thought that went through Etmose's mind...
Years passed, and Etmose and Kemin met in secret every night. Kemin was working hard to train himself, so he could become the lead of the Brilliante Gladio herd. Kemin did the same, to become lead of Tears of the Moon. They wanted to unite the wolves and horses together...
When Etmose deemed himself ready to challenge the lead, he approached him. "Sir. I would like to become the new lead of Brilliante Gladio." He bowed his dial to the stag. "Naturally, I will have to fight you." The stag interrupted, as usual... "And if you fail to defeat me, you will be cast from the herd..." Etmose responded with a mere nod of his head. The fight began... Kemin stood, ducking in the grass, watching from afar.
Kemin noted that the other stag was much more powerful than Etmose... He was now bleeding, and hadn't even landed a single kick on his opponent. The herd watched in terror as Etmose was being thrashed around.
Time passed, and all the while Etmose was growing weaker and weaker... The stag was ready to send his final blow, and it was notably going to be fatal... Within a split second, Kemin was in the middle of the fight. Taking the hard hit of the bronc, and clenching his jaws to his throat. Etmose's features held a confused look, as he was expecting to get hit. He looked down, and saw the two on the ground. The bronc struggling harshly to breathe, and Kemin putting all his remaining force into holding his fangs on the stag's neck. The crowd of the herd was much too shocked to do anything, it wasn't their fight anyway. Etmose collapsed to the floor, his body amazingly weak... With his last ounce of engergy, he flicked his eyes open, only to see the bronc had stopped struggling... Dead. Kemin had broken bones from the blow he took for Etmose. He wasn't going to be alive much longer... "Etmose... Guess what." Kemin said airily. "Before I came here... I challenged my leader, and won." After that... Kemin could speak no more, and not soon after, breathed his last breath.
Etmose was now considered the leader of Brilliante Gladio. The leader of a harem, obtained the name of the harem. He was now Brilliante Gladio, not Etmose... And Kemin, was Tears of the Moon.
Days passed, and the former Etmose gained his strength back. At the loss of their leader, and the equines having a new leader, the wolves disbanded... Tears of the Moon was now only Kemin's name... Not a harem. Etmose declared that the land that only equines lived in, would now be known world wide, as Tears of the Moon...
Many years passed, and Etmose died. This was still long before the lights and the darks... But, as we all know, they came into play eventually. So, now the land of Tears of the Moon's history is known...
