Welcome to the new version of The Unicorn's Daughter. The irst one, in my opinion, was rather badly written and made little sense to me in parts when I was reading over it recently. So I decided to redo it.
Prologue
A young woman sat in a chair by a window, looking out at the white city of Gondor and the land beyond. She was beautiful, with grace surpassing that of the elves, and even more beautiful than Tinuviel. Her hair was a silvery, pale gold, finer than that of Galadriel. The only flaw in her beauty was the small, pale star shaped scar on her forehead. She wore a small pendant with a unicorn head on it around her neck, on a small, silver chain. Although she looked to be only twenty, she was really older, much older.
Has it really only been twenty-five years since the war of the ring? she thought. It seems like it's been so much longer. Suddenly, seven you children ran into the room. Arwen and Aragorn's children, Eldarion and his sisters, Nimwen and Sulwen, along with Faramir and Eowyn's children, Laurina and Boromir, along with along with her own children, Lir and Lomewen.
"Tell us a story, naneth, please!" said Lomewen, the youngest at the age of five.
Shouts of "Yes, please tell us a story" chorused from the rest of the children. When the woman finally managed to quiet them, she asked "Which story do you want to hear?"
It was Eldarion who answered. "The War of the Ring."
"And the unicorn!" said his sister, Nimwen, who was the eldest of the seven, at the age of fifteen.
"Very well then. I shall tell you the story of the war of the ring and the unicorn, as the two stories are really one." She looked once again out the window, as if remembering a land far, far away.
"Once, long ago, in another world, different from this one, there was a young unicorn, named Amalthea, whose mother had driven the dreaded red bull into the sea, releasing the other unicorns from the sea. As a human, her mother had gone by the name of Amalthea, although that was not her name, so that was why her daughter was called Amalthea. Though Amalthea did not know it, She was destined for greatness and tragedy, in her own world, and our own."
