Once, when the world was young, after the devil's rampage through heaven, the spirit of an Angel Warrior came to earth, seeking to fight the devil's armies.
To protect the humans from this fearsome enemy.
After her soul bounded to a human, her magic made her eyes and blood silver and her hair white as moonlight.
With her powers she could form armor, shield and a silver lance from her own blood.
Here Lance was long and glowed bright and resembled a narwhals horn.
But she soon found herself traveling alone, for her mission was to dangerous to have human companions by her side.
One day however she was approached by a beautiful white mare.
It was fearless in the angles presents, so she would befriend the mortal creatures and ride into many battles to defend humanity.
One day however the devil took notice of them.
Not one to let an assault on his underlings slide like that, he turned himself into a massive beast.
A black skinned dragon with seven heads, breathing fire, poison and pestilence.
In this Form he stepped before them.
His massive body darkening the sky above and fearless they charged.
And round after round they battled.
Here Lance could not pierce the creature scales deep enough and his teeth and claws could not break her armor.
But at last his fire could what his other attacks could not.
Here armor melted, her flesh ripped apart and her loyal friend dying, the dragon took one moment to enjoy his victory.
And with her last breath, she gifted her friend the last drops of her blood.
Hidden underneath it's body.
The dragon returned to hell.
Believing his enemy to be slain.
But the spirt of the horse and the angle warrior had instead fused.
And thus they Resurrected at the dawn of the the next day.
Together as one!
The first unicorn!
