Many years ago, a pony was created from the first flames on earth but soon after the foal was born water came out of nowhere and put out the fire. The poor foal only just got away from the river. From the rushing first river came a young bird. For the first few years of their life they were friends but as they grew older, they realised their differences. Decades later the two creatures’ love turned into hate and a war began.
The war was intense but the gods got angry seeing the war, so they separated the two. They were put on sides of the world one side was for fire and the other for water.
