the purple horse
A magical creature bond to the hills of Durham? It's power so great it's only known to few, a relation according to legendary tales to that of the purple man. A four legged mare, taking the appearance of a crippled horse in order to hide. The purple horse spends many of its hours asleep during the day in order to make up lost winks whilts it preforms magic in the deep dark night.
'Hey did you see that pig fly?' I bet it was down to the purple horse. Hey, did you see how the Rainbow appeared like magic? I bet it was all thanks to the purple horse.
