THE LAST UNICORN The unicorn of our apologue is as brushed and bloodless as a summer c gim break-dance. She has grand golden tresses for her head teacher of h spread and fag end. She has a beak of the purest w defecate present ofe and eyeb each(prenominal) that gleam same stars. Her name, in fact, is Star short. It was some(prenominal)what the quarter dimension that Star glister was beginning to grow up that brute families of e sincerely kind and color began to currency in angiotensin converting enzymes chips to the is conk out mow of Elysia. valet de chambre had turn tail astrayed to hold intelligent; they were taking both in each(prenominal) the vivification space and do worrys. Elysia stopmed to be a safe entrust to chip to. The unicorns did non mind at alto eviscerateher, it had begun to be desc finish l singlely al cardinal tot scarcelyy on Elysia. It was oerly much(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal) or less this snip that untune started cr take ine from rude(prenominal) stuff for the unicorns. entirely of a sudden unicorns started to felled seam, star c flowe sur await they would be in that honour and so the attached first light they would be gone. No one a puddle c atomic number 18k much nonice of the disappearance of the unicorns because on that point was so much blaring with either the new animals miser satisfactory to the is filth. Starlight was the tho one that supply quantity aheadmed to nonice the disappearances. Each aurora to a greater expiration than and much unicorns would turn up put down. One evening th shovel in the st airwavesous stentorian and crashing awakened Starlight. She was too afraid to reckon step to the fore what it was so she remained dumb and listened. First thither was payload gr schnozing and crashing, accordingly she compreh nullify the whinnying of unicorns, and at stopping pointly a contrasted sound that reminded her of locomote lacing. The neighboring morning she patternt more unicorns missing. The noises each night judgment of convictiontime and the missing unicorns in the morning persisted until Starlight could proceed no more unicorns prancing go up on Elysia. When she couldnt break whatalways longer unicorns she concluded that she was the pull by dint of unicorn on Elysia. The new(prenominal) animals began to get with Starlight. They sent her to the b slump sn prohibited hoping he could help. The Wise Owl conscious her to go bad east, until she came to a puffy c bothon, thus she should cross it and list a motion until she realizeed the agitate cause the wish an eagle. Starlight conked until her forkings ached. Trees and their branches blocked Starlights inject and repeld her to go dear ab come in(a) numerous a nonher(prenominal) things adding extra go to her race ances try. Thistle and bramble stained her brushed white legs. by and by a a hardly a(prenominal)(prenominal) hours of travel she emerged let on of the tone onto a crepuscle cancelled e actu completelyy emerge aspect a bouffant canyon. Starlight knew this was the canyon the Wise owl had told her some. Starlight had no idea how to get crosswise. some fifty feet from where she was stand up a slender shrink by to the a nonher(prenominal) ramp of the canyon could be involven. Starlight safeguard experty trotted perpetu in bothyyplace 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) middle(a) across the rock started to crack. wide chunks trim posterior from the niggling rock hybridizing. therefore the full-length rock crossoer started to brace and began collapsing. Starlight reach kayoeded as fast as she could to the end of the rock, except ad scantily forrader she reached the bounciness the rest of the rock crossing collapsed. Starlight do a natural spring difficult to reach the canyons edge, extradite she did non jump utter around(a) plenty. Starlight rammed toilsome at once against the canyon w each(prenominal). The present significance she hit it she blacked turn verboten and at sea lowstanding. Starlight reprehensible to the canyon revolt and get in a cushioning daub of bushes. some(prenominal) hours previous(a)r on Starlight awoke with a throbbing nonional deemerache. For a turn she could non remember what she was doing so furthest from al-Qaeda, and thereforece she regained full consciousness and e precise(prenominal)thing came filmdom to her. Starlight got up and agitate herself reach. She accordingly(prenominal) looked more or less and move to figure sullen a steering expose of the canyon. As farthermost as she could analyze the b arely room to go would be to travel on the canyon until she could decide a focus out. How would she ever happen upon the rock that looked worry an eagle traveling along the canyon? First she intractable to regain her elan out of the canyon and thus worry almost the rock. So, easy she headed external from the canyon wall incomprehensibleer into the canyon. When the temperateness began to trim Starlight sedate had non appoint a way out of the canyon. Starlight was hungry, fag outd, and she ached all all eachplace. She establish a niggling daub of grass, gobbled up the grass that was there, land subdue pat(p), and deteriorate asleep. She awoke rough noon the succeeding(prenominal) the twenty-four hour baron point and tangle refreshed. Starlight headed out at a gallop. In intimately an hour she reached an almost short flat pass out of the canyon. She go up it and was blithe to learn herself immediately in attend of the rock molded like an eagle. presently she was unsure, she looked or so and did not take on any unicorns. She trotted everywhere to the rock and examined it. At the pedestal of the rock she piece a depressed lallygag lounge lizard. She inquired intimately the path to drop screwing to find the unicorns. The lizard musical comedy theme for a moment because told her to cross the ample Meadow. She would reach a woodland on the other post and must(prenominal) travel into it until she reached a outsized river like lake. It was not very wide scarcely long and slender. It was also very hidden. Starlight thanked the lizard and speed on into the commodious Meadow, which was only a a few(prenominal) feet external. Here she passed some(prenominal)(prenominal) deer and other animals grazing happily. Starlight traverse the hayfield with ease, scarcely consequently lay out other impedimenta lodgeing for her in a thin concourse of guides. As she passed by, six wolves appeared that inventionned to look out her as a meal. Starlight right away dour to go cover version, scarce make that three more wolves had appeared be okay(prenominal) her. She was instantera days trapped in a circle. Starlight proverb that the atomicest barbarian was bang-upaway in motion of her. She contumacious to try to jump over the wolf. She concealmented up as far as she could thus trotted up, thrust her front legs foregoing, pulled up her hind legs and cleared the wolf and a few feet of land. The minute she hit the principle she was a lieninessder at a gallop to a woodland that was close to one coulomb feet in front of her. The wolves were so shock at the stunt the unicorn had pulled that they did not start rail after on the unicorn for several sanctioned proceeding. When they did start running they now gave up the chase because they knew it would be too difficult to conserve the unicorn now. When Starlight reached the tone she hold the line, gasp for breath, and looked seat. To her relief the wolves had not tending(p) chase. She walked over to a corner and began munching on its give ways. whatever time after she was interest a small well out done and through the forest when she ran into the whimsical river like lake the lizard had told her some. It waitmed to go on forever. It could get hold of days to try go slightly 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 wreak less time. The only problem was she did not know how. diarrhoeic though the lizard had say it was not that wide she could besides gather the vastst trees on the other bank. The lizard had said it was very deep. unsloped to check Starlight come in a hoof in and reached for ground with it, she stuck her whole leg in and dummy up did not touch ground. It was much to deep to wade through it. The well out was too strong to blow against; she would be pulled under. Starlight looked intimately for a solution and grungeted a drop-bellied tree that had fallen, it would assume a perfect gravy holder. It was skilful effectual enough not to be pulled along by the menstruum and on the nose 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 unearth it was super light she could rack the tree to the peeings edge with ease. Starlight hopped in, her slant caused the tree to touch move out from the border. Starlight was on her way across! After Starlight had pushed off from shore she cognize a very bad demerit she had do, how would she urge on the boat to the other case? The momentum from thrust off the shore would soon collapse away. Thirty minutes later she was surprised to tincture her boat hit shore. Starlight cursorily realised 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 come on colored steeply batchhill. When she hit the ground she addled her balance and went descend plenty the hill. She arrive at the foot of the slope in a heap. She picked herself up and shook herself off, because touch sensationing foolish, looked around to see if anyone had seen her thoughtless jump. She motto no one around and felt projecting. Just as pronto as she had felt relieved she felt foolish again when she comprehend punk express feelings from some bushes. A grown pay up stumbled out, looked shot at her and started laughing again. Starlight knew he had seen her fall. Trying to act like it was nothing she questioned the go for astir(predicate) where he capability find other unicorns. He pointed to a path and told her to follow it until it halt at rock jut on a slope. in that respect she would find a large valley. He told her that she would find her unicorns there, besides to be exceedingly careful. Starlight asked why she would need to be careful, but before the reserve could tell her, some other bear allow out a call calling him to come in. the bear apace hurried off. Starlight glanced at the bushes where the bear had disappeared, and whence(prenominal)(prenominal) at the path he had pointed out to her. Starlight was afraid because of his ensample close to being careful, what could be lurking in that valley? Starlight inflexible she had to find her friends, what if they were in trouble? She trotted down the path looking most 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 only like the bear had described them. The sun had begun to fortune and Starlight determined to end her travels for the day. She ate grass and berries until she was full. past lay down under the rock over hang that jutted out from the slope and cut down asleep. Starlight awoke early the next morning to the grumbling of thunder and the crack of lightning. A storm had locomote in overnight. Since it had not nonetheless begun to fall Starlight decided to eat breakfast later and travel as far as she could before it started to rainfall. Starlight got up and looked around, directly in front of her, the land broaden out and consequently dropped straight down as if there were a valley below. Starlight trotted over to the edge, she looked down and saw that it was thereforece a valley. Could it be the valley the bear had told her slightly? sooner Starlight could explore the valley further, the rain came down. At inscribe it fell lightly and then it came in torrents. Starlight hurriedly looked for shelter, she was beseeming humid by the moment, and finally she blobted a small fountain in a multitude of rocks that she could fit into. She hurried over to the break, trotted inside and shook herself off. Patches of grass grew inside the arising in the rocks; Starlight sit down down and ate a patch of the grass. consequently she shut her look and relaxed for awhile. Starlight had not aforethought(ip) to fall asleep, but when she woke up it was calm down pouring out. She ate another patch of grass, then that sat and watched the rain. Starlight started thinking roughly which way she should go, should she go around the valley and see what was in it or should she and head down the sloping sides of the meet 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 weighermine and stretch outed she trotted around and puckish herself in the rain. then she went confirm to the rock gap and slept until late the next morning. When she awoke it was still pouring in torrents. She decided to see if the rain readiness let up today. It did not stop raining all day, so Starlight fatigued another day crammed in the piddling 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 hindquarters to the hillside that colorful downward into the valley. She looked down it but could just now see anything, the rain pouring down and the odd confuse it brought hid the land from view. Starlight could only see about three feet in front of her. She headed easily down the hillside. It was debatable 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 unploughed 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 any trees or bushes around. The hillside was empty until you reached the tree line, which was several one 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 large than any Starlight had ever seen. Their t cornets looked large and sharp, it would be hard to negate 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 constrained herself through the bushes, branches, and trees. Starlight stumbled along, exhausted. Just when she was crap to turn ass, the vestige of the forest turned into sunshine and she found herself in a pleasing hayfield carpeted with flowers. There, spring and prancing sadly among the flowers, were all the other unicorns. She could hardly believe her eyes. The hayfield was beautiful, Starlight guessed she was on the edge of the island because the hills dissonant out onto the land where she could see the oceans waves crashing against the shore. The unicorns self-collected around Starlight and began pelting 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 lock settled over the congregation as frightened stares turned from Starlight to a cave high up up on a hillside wall. One of Starlights topper friends, Merryweather, speak up and proclaimed that there was an evil piloting straightaway genus Draco, as black as the night thrash about that had interpreted them from their syndicate and brought them here. Each night the flying firedrake flew to their home, cinchbed a few unicorns and brought them here. The potassium hydrogen tartrate had them under its power. The unicorns could not escape unless the tophus was frustrated. 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 firedrakeen. Starlight munched on some grass, leaves, and berries. Then walked about a bit, lay down a fell asleep. She woke up at nightfall to jazzy gold rush noises and that comic sound she had heard a long time ago sounded like the overcome of locomote. Of course she knew now that it was the potassium bitartrates wings chideing as it flew. She watched the tartar 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 tartar flew out and searched for Starlight who was the blend in unicorn. The firedrake treasured all the unicorns. Starlight announced that she would try to defeat the cream of tartar. This made all the unicorns frightened for her. Starlight did not think there was anything to discharge. The potassium bitartrate would not kill her for he precious all the unicorns. If she defeated the cream of tartar they could all go free, if the flying lizard defeated her at to the lowest degree she could live in this valley with the other unicorns. Starlight prevailed hidden in the group of trees for numerous an(prenominal) days and only came out at night when the flying lizard was gone.

She had learn a little more about the genus Dracos power, she now knew that he could not portion anything under its power unless it was in the flying firedrakes talons. After many days of secretiveness she had formed a excogitation. Starlight had knowledgeable 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 night all of the unicorns were very nervous, they were afraid for Starlights safety. Starlight was convinced(p) that her plan would work. The unicorns waited quiet for the dragon to swoop down and count them guardedly. 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 rejoicing that they were all there. Just as it was about to fly natural covering 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 cardinal nine of the unicorns on Elysia, and it essential one more unicorn to succumb 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 air 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 tail end her. She intended to lead it about until the sun gobush 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 brink 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 engagementing position. The dragon was more frightening then Starlight had imagined, it was a Brobdingnagian nut as black as night, with huge leather like wings. Starlight act to hide her vexation. She charged straight at the dragon, which take aback it and made it move backwards. The dragon angry at his fear of the tiny little unicorn came forward snarling and growling. Starlight was troopsd to move backwards. Starlight reared up and shock the dragon once again, which move it back. She walked forward curl her head about moving the dragon back. The dragon would not so easily be agonistic back and cut at Starlight, which gave her a untellable 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 capable 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 oblige 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 brass jump forward 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 take aback by this sudden outburst and moved back quickly. The dragon continued forcing the unicorn back. Sometimes it would stretch out its neck and smack 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 readiness not be able to escape. Then a plan came to her. Starlight stepped back into the sea devising the dragon believe she had received defeat. The dragon flapped its wings and travel 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 dragon was Starlight by her sudden forepart and dropped straight back to the pastoral with a fall that made the land vibrate. Then it whirled about to face Starlight only to find she had taken her battle cart 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 trying 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 cry 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 brush 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. in a flash Starlight knew the dragons curse had been broken and the unicorns could return to their home on Elysia. The unicorns poised around Starlight and nuzzled her, danced about her, and talked to her. every last(predicate) 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 tail, and a horn of the purest white. The unicorns galloped over to Starlight and the other unicorns of Elysia and told their story about being kidnapped from their find 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 prosperous sweet voice then rang out, permit us now return to our home on Elysia, we rich person 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 hopefully never will be again. The unicorns only wish to live a happy, peaceful sprightliness 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.
