BQ YEAR 210 — JUL-AUG 2020
Targaryen was born to Trekk and Noori. His father was absent in his childhood, and Noori was always found in a section of the Forest, rooted to the ground and world’s away in her mind. Though he has siblings, Targaryen never met any of them and he grew up independent as soon as he was weaned.

BQ YEAR 212 — NOV-DEC 2020
While grazing near the Forest one day, Targaryen realized he was being stalked. He fled the scene but forgot about a section of the Forest that ended in a cliff and dropped into the River. As he got clawed by the predator, he fell down the cliff and was knocked unconscious. Targaryen drifted down the River until he washed ashore, where a filly named Cheri found him. She unlocked her healing powers by healing him and restoring his leg back to normal. Targaryen felt like Cheri became a sister he never had, and they became quick friends. Later that same year, Targaryen was flying and attempted to land in the Meadow. He was clumsy and landed roughly. A golden eagle had begun to hang around with him, and Targaryen felt like the animal was a gift from his mother to watch over him. He didn’t care for the eagle but named it Jedar. A filly named Catryn heard Targaryen’s crash-landing. After getting to know each other, the boy realized that Catryn was blind. They talked about flying, as Catryn had a pair of sunlight wings, and Targaryen took her to a hill in the Meadow that overlooked a bend in the River to teach her how to fly.

BQ YEAR 213 — JAN-FEB 2021
After the eclipse happened, Targaryen wandered, feeling trapped to the ground because he was uncomfortable flying in the dark. Jedar stuck with him, and so did his fondness for Cheri. So the boy traveled to Taiga, where Cheri said she lived, and he found her in the darkness. Just as Cheri was walking to greet Targaryen, a monster attacked the girl. At the same time, some of Cheri’s family members — Reynard, Elegance, and Memorie — arrived to help Cheri when they heard her scream. Cheri was successfully saved from the monster, and Targaryen earned a small amount of approval and respect from Yanhua.

During that year, Targaryen and Cheri grew closer together. The girl showed him her favorite parts of Taiga, and the tobiano grew more comfortable under the watchful eyes of the redwoods. Eventually, Targaryen began to see Taiga as a home, though Cheri’s presence certainly soothed him as well. However, one day the tobiano went for a walk and got lost in the dark. He went through a period of months where he could not find his way to Taiga and entered a twilight state of mind.

BQ YEAR 214 — MAR-APR 2021
When the eclipse finally ended and sunlight flooded Beqanna, Targaryen was able to gather his bearings. He immediately flew to Taiga, despite how atrophied his wings were, and tried to find Cheri to explain his disappearance. Thankfully, his best friend forgave him and the pair were able to reunite.

Not long after the sun’s return, Targaryen returned to the Meadow to look for Catryn. He had been thinking about the girl during the darkness, wondering if she had succeeded at life better than the rest of Beqanna. When he found Catryn, he discovered that her blindness had disappeared sometime during the eclipse.

Icicle Isle held a Midsummer festival during the first summer after the eclipse’s end. Targaryen invited Cheri to the festival as his date. While there, he fully began to realize his feelings for the black appaloosa, especially when they got lost in the ice maze together. However, it wasn’t until the following year that he would actually confess his feelings for Cheri.

BQ YEAR 215 — MAY-JUN 2021
Not long after the festival, Cheri moved to Loess to learn from the other kingdom. Yanhua, Taiga’s leader, put Targaryen to work for the sake of their land, and this prevented the winged stallion from visiting Cheri at her new home. However, eventually Targaryen neglected his duties so he could visit Cheri. When they met in Loess, Cheri confessed an interaction she had with Obscene, Brilliant Pampas’ leader, and then also told Targaryen about her feelings for him. In turn, Targaryen confessed his feelings for Cheri, which went beyond their friendship and sibling-like dynamics. Fed by their mutual affections, the pair spent a romantic afternoon in a Loessian hot spring.

Targaryen spent several days in Loess with Cheri, but he knew he needed to return to Taiga before his absence was felt. He decided to travel down to the commonlands to see if he could recruit for Taiga. While traveling between Hyaline and the Forest, Targaryen suddenly shifted into a wolf and effectively lost consciousness of his logical horse brain, instead becoming wolf-minded. It was during this time that a mare named Minah discovered him. MORE HERE WITH PLOT.

Unaware of his shifting, and unable to control it, Targaryen spent a lot of time in the commonlands. He spent his time alternating between wakefulness and shifting into one animal or another. On one evening, after spending the afternoon as a trout, Targaryen woke on the side of the river to meet Obscenec, the stallion Cheri had met, though he didn’t know that’s who it was.
