Umamusume: Dull Run

"Does Crushing the Dreams of another make you a monster?"

This question has echoed through the ages, yet it remains unanswered. Why do we ponder such an asinine question? The answer is both nothing and everything, depending on one's perspective. Is a Soldier a monster when he cuts off thep dream of his enemies to return home? Those who fight them would say yes, an ally the opposite as their dreams would only further be realized. Is a tiger a monster? A man who was attacked would say yes as their wounds would leave them possibly too injured to live on, but those unscathed see it merely as a creature of nature, acting on instinct.

But Umas don't go to war, and hopefully they're not getting attacked by any tigers. But as a people whose very existence is defined by the drive to run toward their dreams, a set of dreams that forever involve themselves in conflict with the dreams of their peers, the title of monster can get thrown around rather by reverance or spite. Axl Ward, learned this the hard way after his migration to the world via a swift kick from his very own spooked horse. Now awake and granted a specialized Uma system Axl's got the possibility to meet his own dreams of training a professional racehorse! Well, after he gets his certification.
