| Flame Unicorn |
| The path takes you down a hill, to a thick, dark section of forest. You look around, wondering what strange creature you will encounter here. You have just walked past a trickling stream when you hear something approaching. You look behind you, but see nothing but shadows and spots of light moving in the wind. Then, without warning, a unicorn stands in front of you. It is gray and white, with flame-like markings. "Not many come here," the unicorn says in a feminine voice. "I am surprised that you have come so far from the Crossroads." "Who are you?" you ask. "Twisted Storm Flame, I am called by those who bother to come here," she answers. You pause, expecting her to say more, but she only looks at you with her strange golden eyes. "You are a type of unicorn I have never seen before," you say finally. "A Flame Unicorn I am," Twisted Storm replies. "Nearly all of us have markings such as mine, though most are more brightly colored." "Your colors certainly made you hard to see in these shadows!" "I suppose that is true, traveler," she nods. "Did I hear the word traveler?" another voice says abruptly and a large green unicorn jumps out of the woods and charges at you, head down and horn pointed at your face. You hastily jump aside. "It wasn't hurting you, was it?" The new unicorn asks in a masculine voice. He shakes his long forelock out of his eyes and glares at you. "No, Stratus, it's fine," Twisted Storm shakes her head. "Sorry about that. He can be a bit protective sometimes. This is Stratus Flame." "Er, hello," the stallion says. He seems to have calmed down a bit, but still keeps a watchful eye on you. "That's an unusual pattern you have. Not very flamelike at all," you remark to the stallion. "I take after my mother," he answers as if that explains everything. "Her name is Earth Flame." "That's probably about all you'll get out of him," Twisted Storm says. "He doesn't believe in conversing with non-unicorns. Just a quirk of his. He's only said this much out of politeness." "I'm sorry to hear that," you say, disappointed. "It's not his fault. He really is a good creature." She smiles at him and he snorts, but gives her a slight smile in return. Abruptly ending the conversation, Twisted Storm Flame twitches her long tail, takes a drink of the trickling stream, and trots back into the wilds of the Forest. Stratus pauses for a moment, and then follows her. You find the path and walk back uphill, thinking that you have never met a creature quite like the Flame Unicorns, even in all your long journeys here in the Forest. |
