| Crystal Unicorns |
| The sky suddenly becomes white with fluffy clouds spinning past overhead and flurries of white flower petals that have broken loose from some kind of fruit tree that seems to grow in abundance here. You blink your eyes and all of a sudden something large and winged drops down out of the air and lands in a pile of white petals, sending them drifting away on an invisible breeze. It is another Crystal Unicorn, this one unlike any you have met so far on your long walk through the woods. She is tall and graceful, with the markings of an exotic zebra. Her blue wings remind you of a blue jay's. Strange. She yawns when she sees you, too lovely to take much notice of something so ordinary and drab as you. She has been told to be polite to guests, however, and as she prides herself on being a very polite creature, she smiles and greets you. "Hello there, wandering one. I am Dainri. It means Air." "You are beautiful," you say, stuttering. "Thank you. There are many who say so." She folds up her wings, creating another breeze with them as she does so. "There are many beautiful things in this world, though I think that only those who can fly above it are able to see them all." You nod. "I have seen many wonderful things in this Forest. Have you see them all as you fly?" She shakes her golden mane. "I don't think anyone can. If you were able to see it all, what would be left to dream of?" An interesting question. One that you can't answer. You stand pondering it for a moment until a small shape runs up to Dainri. It is a young Crystal Unicorn, you realize, and looks suspiciously like the larger mare. "Who is this?" you ask. "I'm Sourie'Trola," the colt says a little shyly. He folds his wings up and looks at you suspiciously. "He is my son," Dainri explains. It doesn't surprise you, though you wonder who the father is. "You're a traveler? I've never seen one before," the colt asks. "You're kind of funny looking." You laugh out loud at this and Dainri shrugs. "Well, it is true, you know." "I wish I could travel places too," Sourie says, apparently becoming a little less shy. "I can't fly very well yet, so I don't get to see the places mommy can go." "Someday, Sourie, you will fly high with me," Dainri tells him. Dainri seems to have grown bored of you, or perhaps only wishes to take to the air again, for she has unfolded her wings again. With a strong beat of them, she is flying again, disappearing into the rolling clouds and white petals. The colt runs along behind her. You watch them for a moment as they get farther away. Dainri swoops down every once in awhile to check on her son. |
