These are my brothers, Deegan and Driscol. Deegan means "black" and Driscol means "mediator," and like most of my family they live up to their names well. Deegan is my younger brother and still definitely the most impulsive of the bunch, even more so than our fiery warrior sister, and it does get him into trouble, but he always means well and is always doing what he can to help around the herd. Driscol, on the other hand, in spite of his looks, is actually my twin brother, and he is wiser and more level-headed than any of us. He is far quieter than me; I'm the storyteller, so I talk quite a bit compared to him, but he mostly observes, and he is good at settling disputes between members of the herd. He plays a major role in keeping the peace, and he has done so ever since we were foals and our older sister and I would quarrel sometimes.
