This is about my race of winged horses who live on the island of Belvia!
Quote:
The winged horses are descended from the legendary heroic winged horse Belvi (BELL-vye). Belvi and his sons fought off dragons from the first dwarves who landed in Belvia, and have ever afterwards been revered (and often worshipped) especially by the dwarves, but also by many Belvian humans as well. The winged horses can speak and are regarded as highly intelligent. They live an average of twenty-seven years. They mostly stay to themselves in the Gorrian Caves, where the direct descendant of Belvi rules over them. When one of the horses dies, he is carried up into the air by four others and then lowered ceremonially into the sea. It is believed by some Belvians that the soul of the horse returns to the land to bless the inhabitants.


There will be more about the winged horses in my post about Belvia itself.
So, what do ya'll think about them? Do you have any questions? Because I would be glad to answer them, as always!

I liked the burial ceremony too :cool:

So they can speak, I'm guessing? Or at least they're intelligent?

Yes, they can speak. They have their own language. Did I forget to put that in there? *smacks forehead* I'll go back and add that in :P

**Edit** I did put that in there, kind of in the middle. I guess you just missed it :D I did that with BethanyFaith's story she's posting, so I sympathize :)
