OSI - Die Geschichte der Feuerrösser !

:P Bei OSI (http://www.uo.com/) ist eine schöne Geschichte über die neuen Fire Steeds (Feuerrösser) zu lesen:


"`Tale of the Fire Steed`

The Fire Steed, a creature of heat and flame, never before seen in Britannia until now -- this week’s spotlight focuses on the discovery of this magnificent beast.

Lord Oaks has called upon me several times since I left the woods of Ilshenar to live among the young and innocent of Haven, but none of his errands for me have been as interesting as this last one. He had heard rumor of daemons stealing away unicorns and taking them to the deep places of the world. There, they severed their horns and subjected the animals to the tortures of heat and flame, hardening their souls, and putting fire into their veins. What was produced was a creature the world had never seen: a horse of flame, a Fire Steed.

I tracked the stolen beasts to the Fire Dungeon. Perhaps at one time, there had been many of them, but I found only two. Their daemon captors were nowhere to be seen, but I knew they must be near. I approached the golden horses cautiously, watching them closely. As I neared, I could see something in their eyes. The pain of the fire had driven the creatures insane, and yet they had retained their former intelligence. Somewhere inside these monsters of flame was the majesty of the unicorns they had once been. They were wild and willful creatures now, and I wasn`t sure that even my skill in taming would be enough to control them.

However, Lord Oaks had given me two scrolls a few weeks before, which allowed me to continue my studies in taming and animal lore beyond my previous mastery. I had been working with many types of animals since then, in an effort to put the scrolls to use, and there would be no better time to test out my new abilities than now. I approached the Fire Steed closest to me carefully, watching his movements for signs of aggression. The Fire Steed instantly turned on me, belching fire and burning me badly. At that point, I knew this was going to be a test not only of my abilities in taming, but also a test of survival.
