How did they meet?: These two were childhood friends, their small reclusive towns surprisingly close to one another. They were both rather adventurous and always looking for fun, which is how they came across one another as foals. They were inseparable, and still are, even after everything they went through.
What is their relationship?: These two, as stated above, are childhood friends. They were incredibly close as foals, even having crushes on one another well into their adulthood. Nowadays, it’s almost like a tip toe around the other, to avoid bringing up any of the bad things that happened to them. Instead they try to focus on the positive things, and do their best to help one another at all times. Ebony (the Kelain) is much more clingy around Samara (the Dullahan) than they were as kids, though Samara seems to have been able to coax Ebony slowly into doing more things independently.
Plot plans if won:
- Childhood friends who grew incredibly close
- Fell in love even though they were just foals
- Ebony (Kelain) found out that he was to be arranged to marry another Kelain by the name of Krystal, a very pretty pale colored Kelain to compliment his dark colors.
- Ebony and Samara both did not like this, but there was not much Ebony could to to speak out against his parents
- As they grew older, and Ebony was forced to spend more time with Krystal, he saw Samara less and less
- Eventually Ebony was married to Krystal, but began to sport small bruises or hide himself in baggy clothing
- Samara picked up on something foul going on and tried to confront Krystal, but was just brushed aside as if nothing was wrong
- Ebony’s brother Nyx noticed these things as well, and began to talk with Samara to try to figure out what was happening
- Eventually, Ebony and Krystal had a child, and Ebony focused more and more of his time on the foal, trying to redirect Krystal’s negative moods more towards himself and less towards the foal
- This continued for several years, until finally, Krystal and the foal vanished
- There was no trace of where they went or what happened to them, but because Samara and Nyx had been so unsupportive of Krystal and Ebony, eyes turned to them
- Samara was the number one suspect as being more vocal against Krystal, and as she had no proof of where she was, nor that she didn’t hurt the other ponies, she was taken into custody
- Ebony was left alone in his house, childless, wifeless, and loveless
- Nyx came every day to try to get Ebony to eat and come out, but he just wouldn’t
- Every day, Nyx also fought for Samara, and eventually was able to find out that Krystal and the foal had moved across Everchange, and had even found a new family
- Samara was released and allowed home, and the first thing she did was visit Ebony
- Ebony was beyond relieved but had a hard time trusting Samara at first, though these walls broke down incredibly quickly
- Ebony and Samara were reunited after a couple years of Samara being locked away, and are trying to make up for lost time
