The sun rose over a beautiful valley, a lilac wood forest teaming with many forms of life, from the cure squirrels in the trees to the groundhogs in the ground. This was the home of the last unicorn, Amalthea
She was the most beautiful creature in the forest, with her skin as pale as sea foam to her flowing mane as blue as her single horn, her eyes were a dark ocean blue and she was proud to be herself. She was the wisest and oldest creature of the forest and gave my advice to the creatures of her wood. But sometimes she would look to the stars and think to herself. She thought of many things, but what she thought most of all was if there were other unicorns out there like her. Admittedly she felt lonely at times and longed for a companion, but unicorns usually live in only one forest in solitude. The next morning the thoughts of another unicorn stayed in her mind until, a small blue butterfly fluttered to her singing a tune to himself
Butterfly:🎶 Wave the flag for Hudson Highborn, show them how we stand!🎶
The butterfly fluttered a bit before coming to a stop to amaletha's face
Butterfly: I am a roving gambler; how do you do?
Amalthea: Hello, butterfly, welcome. Have you travelled very far?
BUTTERFLY: How far would I travel, yes sir! - to be where you are? Clay lies still, but blood's a-rover. Red Rover, Red Rover, let Charlie come over! Won't you come home, Bill Bailey, won't you come home? My wild Irish rose. (Embraces her horn.)
Amalthea: Be a little respectful, butterfly! Do you know who I am?
Butterfly: why of course! Your a Unicorn. Old French, "unicorne". Latin, "unicornis". Literally, one horned: "unus", one, and "cornu", a horn. A fabulous animal resembling a horse with one horn. Visible only to those who search and trust, and generally mistaken for a white mare
Amalthea: thank you, all your wanderings, have you seen other unicorns like me? Have you seen even one?
Butterfly: once my dear. About three moons ago I saw a flock of unicorns stampeding across a great plain, but this is in a world between worlds, you can find them when the moon is full and the sky is white and vast
