Well, I started this out from the phone, but it didn't work too well, so now I am going to post it from the desktop.
Today we discuss the horse???? Midnight.
Midnight is not quite a normal horse, some call him a demon steed, others call him a dark unicorn, but all fear his kind. The reason behind this is that he is a carnivore, now that in and of itself is no big deal, but add in his ability to read the surface thoughts of people and you have a devastating combination.
The question is why would such a powerful creature associate with a simple human? Simple, Lyam saved him from an old trap.
Were did the demon steeds come from? Simple enough, they came from unicorn stock originally. When a unicorn was captured by a man that sought to turn it into a beast for war, the creature went insane. As the creature became violent, it's fur darkened and grew rougher, it's horn melted back into it's forehead and the teeth became jagged.
A servant to this evil man saw what was happening and tried to warn his master, only to be slain for his impertinence. The now former unicorn saw this and kicked out at the walls of his cage, his now sharper hooves digging into the wood and snapping the rope holding it all together.
As the walls fell apart the beast charged the man and attacked, getting his first taste for blood. Soon he killed off all of the men that were in the area and drove the regular horses ahead of him into the nearby forests.
That was how we came to have demon steeds in the world.
