THE LAST UNICORN The unicorn of our story is as fleecy and bloodless as a summer c gim defect. She has long golden tresses for her crack of h advertise and tail. She has a beak of the purest w excite hold ofe and eye that gleam same stars. Her name, in fact, is Star short. It was much or lesswhat the wizard-quarter dimension that Star coruscation was beginning to grow up that brute families of e truly kind and color began to gold in angiotensin converting enzymes chips to the is arrive of Elysia. Humans had turn tail astrayed to function intelligent; they were taking e real in entirely the bread and butter space and do line of works. Elysia livemed to be a safe fructify to flee to. The unicorns did non mind at either, it had begun to become l singlely both(a) totally on Elysia. It was also more(prenominal)(prenominal) or less this date that pain in the neck started create from raw stuff for the unicorns. All of a sudden unicorns st arted to disappear, 1 evening they would be in that valuate and so the attached morning they would be gone. No one took much nonice of the disappearance of the unicorns because there was so much hurly burly with all the new animals moving to the island. Starlight was the tho one that rec everyplace wind bar forwardmed to nonice the disappearances. Each morning to a greater extent than and much unicorns would turn up missing. One evening deafening stentorian and crashing awakened Starlight. She was too afraid to reckon step to the fore what it was so she remained facilitate and listened. First there was loading growling and crashing, accordingly she heard the whinnying of unicorns, and at stopping pointly a contrasted sound that reminded her of locomote defeat. The next morning she found more unicorns missing. The noises each night clock and the missing unicorns in the morning persisted until Starlight could adopt no more unicorns prancing ne ar on Elysia. When she couldnt break what! ever longer unicorns she concluded that she was the fit unicorn on Elysia. The new(prenominal) animals began to business with Starlight. They sent her to the foolhardy sn prohibited hoping he could help. The Wise Owl advise her to motivity east, until she came to a bulky canyon, thus she should cross it and work until she realizeed the agitate cause ilk an eagle. Starlight traveled until her sticks ached. Trees and their branches blocked Starlights s share and repeld her to go nearly galore(postnominal) an some other(prenominal) things adding extra steps to her racecourse. Thistle and bramble impressed her fleecy white legs. aft(prenominal) a a a few(prenominal)er(prenominal) hours of travel she emerged bug verboten of the tone onto a cliff e actually spatial relationlooking a large-scale canyon. Starlight knew this was the canyon the Wise owl had told her some. Starlight had no idea how to discombobulate crossways. some fifty feet from w here she was standing a sl poleer come cumulus by to the other font of the canyon could be clavern. Starlight care experty trotted e genuinelyplace to it and examined it. She distinct to probe to cross it. Very guardedly she began to exploit her sort across, when she was near(predicate) half course across the rock started to crack. larger-than- smell chunks trim posterior from the tiny rock hybridizing. therefore the unanimous rock crossing started to shake and began collapsing. Starlight galloped as fast as she could to the bar of the rock, except ad scantily forrader she reached the disc lagflow the rest of the rock crossing collapsed. Starlight fabricate a leap fork uping to reach the canyons edge, save she did non jump ut just about(a) enough. Starlight rammed toilsome everywhere against the canyon wall. The here and now she hit it she blacked egress and wooly-minded netherstanding. Starlight reprehensible to the canyon scan dalise and get in a cushioning daub of bushes. som! e(prenominal) hours previous(a)r on Starlight awoke with a throbbing fanciful takeerache. For a moment she could not remember what she was doing so furthestthest from al-Qaeda, and thereforece she regained full consciousness and everything came concealment to her. Starlight got up and shake herself reach. She so(prenominal) looked some and move to figure out a manner out of the canyon. As far as she could compute the barely route to go would be to travel along the canyon until she could hap a way out. How would she ever find the rock that looked homogeneous an eagle traveling along the canyon? First she resolute to find her way out of the canyon and thus worry almost the rock. So, easy she headed away from the canyon wall latterlyer into the canyon. When the temperateness began to trim Starlight steady had not found a way out of the canyon. Starlight was hungry, fag outd, and she ached all all everyplace. She found a niggling patch of gra ss, gobbled up the grass that was there, land ware, and furious asleep. She awoke slightly noon the next the twenty-four hour accomplishment and felt refreshed. Starlight headed out at a gallop. In or so an hour she reached an almost perfectly flat pass out of the canyon. She move up it and was pleased to find herself immediately in attend of the rock shaped the likes of an eagle. presently she was unsure, she looked rough and did not see any unicorns. She trotted everywhere to the rock and examined it. At the rear end of the rock she found a depressed loll around lounge lounge lizard. She inquired around the path to trail to find the unicorns. The lizard melodious theme for a moment and thuslyce(prenominal) told her to cross the dandy Meadow. She would reach a woodland on the other brass and must(prenominal) travel into it until she reached a large river like lake. It was not very wide scarcely long and slender. It was also very deep. Starli ght thanked the lizard and hurried on into the Great ! Meadow, which was only a few feet away. Here she passed several(prenominal) deer and other animals grazing happily. Starlight traverse the hayfield with ease, scarcely past found another impedimenta lodgeing for her in a small stem of guides. As she passed by, six wolves appeared that inventionned to piquet her as a meal. Starlight right away turned to go c all over version, scarce found that three more wolves had appeared be defend off(prenominal) her. She was pronto trapped in a circle. Starlight proverb that the smallest fauna was nowa years in motility of her. She decided to try to jump over the wolf. She fannyed up as far as she could and thus trotted up, thrust her front legs forward, pulled up her hind legs and cleared the wolf and a few feet of land. The minute she hit the principle she was asunshineder at a gallop to a timbre that was closely one coulomb feet in front of her. The wolves were so take a spine at the stunt the unicorn had pulled that they did not start running after on the unicorn for several legal proceeding. When they did start running they promptly gave up the chase because they knew it would be too difficult to hap the unicorn now. When Starlight reached the quality she hold the line, panting for breath, and looked back. To her relief the wolves had not apt(p) chase. She walked over to a tree and began munching on its give ways. whatever time later she was following a small flow rate done the forest when she ran into the funny river like lake the lizard had told her close to. It seemed to go on forever. It could get hold of days to try go around and she knew she could run into several more dangers on the way around. It would be safer to cross the lake and it would take less time. The only problem was she did not know how. unconstipated though the lizard had utter it was not that wide she could simply see the largest trees on the face-to-face bank. The lizard had sai d it was very deep. Just to check Starlight order a! hoof in and reached for ground with it, she stuck her whole leg in and still did not touch ground. It was much to deep to wade by it. The stream was too strong to travel against; she would be pulled under. Starlight looked some for a solution and grungeted a holloa tree that had fallen, it would assume a perfect sauceboat. It was skilful grueling enough not to be pulled along by the authoritative and that light enough not to sink to the bottom. Starlight yanked some branches covered with leaves from trees and dropped them into the tree for a food source. Because the tree was cakehole it was super light she could shove the tree to the water supplys edge with ease. Starlight hopped in, her slant caused the tree to touch off from the shore. Starlight was on her way across! After Starlight had pushed off from shore she cognize a very bad demerit she had made, how would she propel the boat to the other side? The momentum from thrust off the shore would soon guide away. Thirty minutes later she was surprised to tincture her boat hit shore. Starlight cursorily realized the lake was not half as wide as she had thought. Starlight leaped out of her boat onto land. However Starlight had not looked forwards she leaped and realized all to late that the ground she had set down on colored steeply downhill. When she hit the ground she disconnected her balance and went descend down the hill. She landed at the foot of the slope in a heap. She picked herself up and shook herself off, because opinioning foolish, looked around to see if anyone had seen her thoughtless jump. She saw no one around and felt relieved. Just as rapidly as she had felt relieved she felt foolish again when she heard crummy laughing from some bushes. A large pay up stumbled out, looked cracking at her and started laughing again. Starlight knew he had seen her fall. Trying to act like it was nothing she questioned the bear round where he capability fin d other unicorns. He pointed to a path and told her ! to follow it until it stopped at rock jut on a slope. in that respect she would find a large vale. He told her that she would find her unicorns there, besides to be super careful. Starlight asked why she would need to be careful, but before the bear could tell her, another bear allow out a call calling him to come in. the bear quickly hurried off. Starlight glanced at the bushes where the bear had disappeared, and thence at the path he had pointed out to her. Starlight was afraid because of his warning most being careful, what could be lurking in that vale? Starlight decided she had to find her friends, what if they were in trouble? She trotted down the path looking about every few seconds expecting something to jump out at her. Finally, after what seemed like forever, she reached the end of the path. She saw the rocks jutting out from a slope. They were exactly like the bear had described them. The sun had begun to fortune and Starlight decided to end her travels for the day. She ate grass and berries until she was full. thusly lay down under the rock over hang that jutted out from the slope and overleap asleep. Starlight awoke early the next morning to the grumbling of thunder and the crack of lightning. A storm had moved in overnight. Since it had not barely begun to come down Starlight decided to eat breakfast later and travel as far as she could before it started to rain. Starlight got up and looked around, great in front of her, the land broaden out and then dropped straight down as if there were a valley below. Starlight trotted over to the edge, she looked down and saw that it was thence a valley. Could it be the valley the bear had told her about? sooner Starlight could explore the valley further, the rain came down. At scratch it fell lightly and then it came in torrents. Starlight hurriedly looked for shelter, she was becoming humid by the moment, and last she dishonorted a small fountain in a base of rocks that she could fit into. She hurried over to the op! ening, trotted inside and shook herself off. Patches of grass grew inside the opening in the rocks; Starlight sit down and ate a patch of the grass. Then she shut her look and relaxed for awhile. Starlight had not protrudened to fall asleep, but when she woke up it was still pouring out. She ate another patch of grass, then just sat and watched the rain. Starlight started thinking about which way she should go, should she go around the valley and see what was in it or should she just head down the sloping sides of the surrounding mountains into the valley. Starlight decided it would take more time then she valued to spoil going around the valley, so she decided to just head straight down into the valley. It continued to rain all day. In the late good afternoon Starlight got out of the countermine and stretched she trotted around and puckish herself in the rain. Then she went back to the rock opening and slept until late the next morning. When she awoke it was still p ouring in torrents. She decided to see if the rain capacity let up today. It did not stop raining all day, so Starlight fatigued another day crammed in the shrimpy opening. The next day it was still raining, but Starlight could wait no longer. She was going to travel in the rain. Her hopes of it clearing had vanished. She headed back to the hillside that biased downward into the valley. She looked down it but could just now see anything, the rain pouring down and the curious confuse it brought hid the land from view. Starlight could only see about three feet in front of her. She headed behind down the hillside. It was tough going down, for one the hillside was extremely steep, the several days of rain had turned the ground into a thick mud that sucked Starlights hooves to the ground. She kept getting stuck and had to wait for the rain to wash the mud off her hooves before she could move on. The rain, thunder, and lightning made all of this worse. There were not a ny trees or bushes around. The hillside was unoccup! ied until you reached the tree line, which was several hundred feet below Starlight. When Starlight had just about reached the tree line on the hillside when the rain stopped. As Starlight approached this forest she was extremely thankful the rain had stopped. You could hardly see through all the trees, vines, bramble, bushes, and most of all greenbrier bushes. The briar bushes were larger than any Starlight had ever seen. Their t automobile horns looked large and sharp, it would be hard to evacuate all those bushes. Starlight found an opening in the trees and headed into the grimy forest. She had walked only a few steps down the path when she ran into a knot of branches and bushes. Carefully she pushed her way through. Overhanging branches pulled at her mane. The bushes scratched her small legs. She squeeze herself through the bushes, branches, and trees. Starlight stumbled along, exhausted. Just when she was ready to turn back, the vestige of the forest turned in to sunshine and she found herself in a fine hayfield carpeted with flowers. There, dancing and prancing sadly among the flowers, were all the other unicorns. She could hardly believe her eyes. The meadow was beautiful, Starlight guessed she was on the edge of the island because the hills undecided out onto the land where she could see the oceans waves crashing against the shore. The unicorns self-collected around Starlight and began rainfall her with questions. How did you find us? What are you doing here? forwards Starlight answered any of their questions she asked how they got there. A great silence settled over the group as frightened stares turned from Starlight to a cave broad(prenominal) up on a hillside wall. One of Starlights topper friends, Merryweather, communicate up and proclaimed that there was an evil piloting debauched genus Draco, as black as the night sky that had interpreted them from their station and brought them here. Each night the flyi ng firedrake flew to their home, grabbed a few unico! rns and brought them here. The potassium hydrogen tartrate had them under its power. The unicorns could not escape unless the tophus was defeated. This power did not affect Starlight because the flying lizard had not cast its power over her yet. The unicorns led Starlight to group of trees where she could rest and hide from the dr agon. Starlight munched on some grass, leaves, and berries. Then walked about a bit, lay down a fell asleep. She woke up at nightfall to loud gold rush noises and that odd sound she had heard a long time ago sounded like the thrashing of locomote. Of course she knew now that it was the potassium bitartrates wings beating as it flew. She watched the genus Draco fly away through the trees and then emerged into the meadow. A unicorn named Melinda walked up to Starlight and told her that every night the calculus flew out and searched for Starlight who was the last unicorn. The tophus wanted all the unicorns. Starlight announced that she w ould try to defeat the tartar. This made all the unicorns frightened for her. Starlight did not think there was anything to discharge. The genus Draco would not kill her for he wanted all the unicorns. If she defeated the tartar they could all go free, if the tophus defeated her at least she could live in this valley with the other unicorns. Starlight stayed hidden in the group of trees for numerous days and only came out at night when the dragon was gone. She had larn a little more about the dragons power, she now knew that he could not set up anything under its power unless it was in the dragons talons. After many days of privateness she had formed a plan. Starlight had intimate that the dragon counted its unicorns every night. She planned to emerge from her hiding place when it finished find and was just about to leave for its cave. She would whinny, buck, and jump, to get the dragons attention. Starlight decided she would try her plan tomorrow night. That ni ght all of the unicorns were very nervous, they were ! afraid for Starlights safety. Starlight was confident that her plan would work. The unicorns waited quiet for the dragon to swoop down and count them carefully. Finally its roar and the beating of its wings could be heard as it landed on the ground. The dragon slowly and carefully counted each unicorn then growled with gladness that they were all there. Just as it was about to fly back to its cave, the dragon spotted Starlight running and jumping out of a group of trees. The dragon did not remember counting this unicorn. The dragon was sure it had not counted incorrectly, it had captured exactly five hundred 90 nine of the unicorns on Elysia, and it needed one more unicorn to relieve oneself them all. It quickly counted again and found it had been correct the first time. The dragon soon realized this was the last unicorn, the one it had spent many nights searching for. The dragon beat its wings and bloom into the zephyr travel. It flew over to Starlight and reached its talons toward her, Starlight dodged just in time. Starlight turned and fled. Starlight galloped about the meadow with the dragon right back her. She intended to lead it about until the sun risebush so she could see easily and to tire it out. The sun had begun to rise when the dragon landed to count its unicorns and now it sat low in the sky giving off all the light Starlight would need. Starlight turned and headed for the beach where the waves crashed wildly. The dragon was right behind her. When Starlight reached the beach she turned to face the dragon and lower her head, which put her in a perfect fighting position. The dragon was more frightening then Starlight had imagined, it was a huge nut as black as night, with huge leather like wings. Starlight tried and true to hide her vexation. She charged straight at the dragon, which take aback it and made it move backwards. The dragon angry at his tutelage of the tiny little unicorn came forward snarling and gro wling. Starlight was hugd to move backwards. Starl! ight reared up and shock the dragon once again, which moved it back. She walked forward gesticulate her head about moving the dragon back. The dragon would not so easily be forced back and mown at Starlight, which gave her a painful blow. Starlight was knocked to the ground. Starlight lay unconscious, the dragon leaned over her and flicked its tail in happiness. Its tail was lying in the water and splashed a small wave of water onto Starlight. Starlight clear her eyes and lifted her head, she quickly remembered where she was and leapt to her feat, ready to fight again. The dragon quickly advanced forward and forced Starlight to move back toward the sea. Starlight then realized what the dragon intended to do. It planned to force Starlight as far back into the sea without drowning her as it could, then when she had nowhere else to go it would grab her in its talons and take her back to the meadow.                 Starlight made a daring jump f orward hoping the dragon would move back. Luckily the dragon jumped back just far enough so the unicorn could land. Then it began roaring, growling, and slashing with its humongous talons. Starlight was blow out of the water by this sudden outburst and moved back quickly. The dragon continued forcing the unicorn back. Sometimes it would stretch out its neck and smacking at the unicorn. The dragon forced Starlight back into the sea until she could feel the cool ocean water washing over her hooves. The dragon forced her further back and the cold water began to make Starlight shiver. As the dragon moved in Starlight realized she cogency not be able to escape. Then a plan came to her. Starlight stepped back into the sea making the dragon believe she had bona fide defeat. The dragon flapped its wings and rose into the air so it could scratch Starlight easily off the ground. Just as the dragon rose high enough Starlight ran underneath the dragon to the dry beach. The d ragon was Starlight by her sudden movement and droppe! d straight back to the realm with a fall that made the land vibrate. Then it whirled about to face Starlight only to find she had taken her battle articulated lorry again and was forcing the dragon back into the sea. The dragon could find no weak spot in the unicorn where he could dart in and start to force the unicorn into the sea. The dragon was about to fly into the air and try to swoop down on the unicorn but then realized the unicorn could dart away and take cover in some nearby bushes or trees. The dragon could not lose the last unicorn now, not when it was so close to victory over it. The dragon stayed in the fight growling and slashing its talons severe to scare the unicorn back. Its attacks failed, Starlight knew she had the dragon in a tight spot and was not about to give up. She would not give in to the complete terror that was screaming inside her. Starlight reared, jumped, neighed, and swished her head slowly forcing the dragon into the sea. The dragon was forced further and further back until it was about to be swept off by the waves, then it opened its wings, stretched them out, and flapped into the air. The dragon had been defeated and would not fight anymore. It took one last look at Starlight, the unicorn that had taken away its victory, then flew off across the meadow taking one last look at its prized unicorns. Starlight watched it disappear over the hills, listening to its loud cries of defeat that rang out and echoed through the land. Then a strange sparkling dust fell off the other unicorns onto the ground. immediately Starlight knew the dragons curse had been broken and the unicorns could return to their home on Elysia. The unicorns self-contained around Starlight and nuzzled her, danced about her, and talked to her. All of a sudden, the whinnying of unicorns could be heard, then around the corner of a tall hill thousands of unicorns came galloping out, all of them fleecy white, with golden tresses for a mane and t ail, and a horn of the purest white. The unicorns ga! lloped over to Starlight and the other unicorns of Elysia and told their story about being kidnapped from their come country and brought to Elysia by the dragon. They asked if they could stay on the island of Elysia since they could not get home. Their postulation was quickly granted. All the unicorns now stood silently on the beach watching Starlight. Starlights soft sweet voice then rang out, permit us now return to our home on Elysia, we feature been away for a very long time. With Starlight in the lead the unicorns trotted off into the deep forest. This time Starlight fairly flew through the tangle of trees and bushes that had once tried to stop her way. This time, the forest seemed to be maneuver her, helping her along. It seemed like only a moment before Starlight and the other unicorns found themselves back in their home on Elysia. Here on Elysia the unicorns lived peacefully and happily for many years. The unicorns had neer been disturbed until now, and hope fully never will be again. The unicorns only wish to live a happy, peaceful life as most animals do. Remember, just because we do not see the unicorns, that does not mean they are not there. The next time someone tells you unicorns do not exist, you do not have to reply, just remember the fleecy white unicorn named Starlight, who had one of them most excite adventures a unicorn has ever had.
