Long ago the Pureblood's learned to respect the creatures of the forests. They learned of the strength of the bear, the cunning of the wolf and the speed of the deer. They learned of the Lords of the Beasts; of Father Bear and Trickster Crow, of Sly Snake and Lord Hawk, and also of Brother Stag. Of all the creatures of the forest Brother Stag was the fastest and it was his Pace that made the other Lords jealous. Father Bear and Sly Snake in particular disliked Brother Stag, and conspired to steal his Pace. One morning, when Brother Stag was taking his fill of water at a brook they attacked, wounding him grievously. Brother Stag ran and ran and ran some more until his strength had left him. As he lay there three hunters of the Pureblood found him and asked; "Brother Stag, we are Pureblood. Who attack you?" "Those I call brother and sister did this to me and now I am to die." So the hunters took Brother Stag into their care. They patched his wounds and they fed his hunger and they quenched his thirst. Soon Brother Stag regained his strength and was once again able to run for himself. Brother Stag then said; "Purebloods, you have shown nobility and kindness. To you I give some of my Pace, so that you may hunt the hawk and the crow, and in particular the snake and the bear..." ...and this was how the Pureblood clan learned The Pace of Brother Stag. Later, the spirit power was harnessed and forged into armour for the warriors of the Clan. The art is still to this day by Ublag Snooks.
