Faran grinned, then paused suddenly, staring across the grass at the trees.
The others turned to look where he was staring and everyone froze. Under the trees at
the edge of the clearing, a soft glow surrounding it, stood a unicorn. It regarded
them silently for a moment then bowed it's head and pawed the ground once. Aerline
got carefully to her feet and approached it cautiously. It lifted its head as she
approached, watching her. She stopped a few feet away and lifted both hands out in
front of her then stood waiting. The unicorn eyed her, then took several cautious
steps toward her. When she didn't move, the Unicorn tossed it's mane, then trotted up
to where she stood, and dipped its head, touching her hands with the tip of its horn.
A golden light swirled around its horn then filled her hands. She stood there,
motionless, the light filling her hands like golden liquid. The unicorn lifted its
head after a moment, then turned and fled back into the trees out of sight.
"Look!" he whispered in awe.
