unicorn Research

A small unicorn mare with golden hooves, a flowing golden mane and tail, and a gleaming silver horn made her way cautiously through the dense forest undergrowth. She was heavily pregnant, carrying the foal that would end her species' four-century-long pregnancy. Every step was urgent, yet careful, as she raced toward the secret sanctuary where all unicorns had given birth since the dawn of their kind.
She constantly checked behind her, making certain no humans had discovered her trail. She knew better than to trust them.
Thousands of years ago, when she had been only a filly, hunters had killed her mother for the priceless silver horn upon her brow. The memory had never faded. It had taught her that humans did not simply fear unicorns-they hunted them. Now, in the modern era, survival has become even harder. Ancient forests that had once stretched across the land had been carved apart by roads, towns, and cities. Every journey forced her to cross strips of roaring asphalt where speeding cars rushed past without warning. Each crossing was a gamble with her own life. But this time, she wasn't risking only herself. She carried something far more precious than her own life. Unicorns gave birth only once every four centuries, making every foal unimaginably rare. She would do anything to reach the hidden birthplace before her labour began, for if humans found her, or her unborn foal, it could mean the end of a bloodline that had endured for thousands of years.
