The Certain One

Bucephalus doesn’t ask who you are.

It shows you.
Made for those who don’t test the ground twice.

Certainty has its own weight.

Alexander the Great's famous warhorse Bucephalus was described as a huge black horse with a white star on his brow. According to legend, Bucephalus mated with mares all over Asia. Strangely, all foals birthed by Persian and Afghan mares had unicorn horns.
