   Summary

   Stories about legendary heroes have plagued the world since the beginning of times, always featured in songs and fairytales. One f the most famous and one of the first there was record of is "The peregrination of Noon Moon," where Bramble B. Heeler described the wonderful journey of the renowned Moon Moon and his first incarnation.

   For some centuries now, Moon has been nothing more than a canine hero, and in the last century he's been an active enemy of the Searing Hoof, he's only considered important due to being the one that destroyed the barries that once separated the 6 lands, any other attempt of worship it's considered an act of treason against the ungulate nation. How is it possible that someone like him holds the title of hero with all the damage he's done? It's something that has been eating me up these last 3 years, when will I be able to sleep peacefully even with the moon above me?

   Or

   A tormented horse from the Searing Hoof stumbles upon a group of peculiar traveleres at the edge of the Ungulate country and one of them might be what he's been looking for these last 3 years.
