There was a meadow provided a home for two calm and graceful creatures, two lovely unicorns. One was a soft, pale pink, I call her Hanelle. She has shimmering white wings that look stolen from an angel. and golden hooves and horns. Her daughter began to wake; I looked over to the tall grass where she was laying down and admired her silver hooves and horn and her shiny pastel-teal coat. I sat next to her and rubbed her head. She is only one week old and respond to the name Elnora. She fully awakened and stared back at me with her kind, sapphire blue eyes. Elnora shook her head briefly and stood up next to her mother and her knees wobbled for a moment. After she caught her balance she walked towards me and I stuck out my hand as she pressed her forehead into my palm. Hanelle gazed at us, content, not showing a single display of concern. I found this meadow two weeks ago when I was going for one of my reflective walks. I approached Hanelle as slowly as she stared at me and took a few steps closer. I wondered why such a calm and pure creature would show any interest in me.
After I found this meadow hidden in the mountains I'm almost never home. My mother doesn't worry though because she trusts me. When I left my trail of thoughts I saw Hanelle walking away as Elnora followed. When I failed to catch up to them Hanelle turned around and kneeled down so I climbed on her back and hugged her neck gently. We arrived at a quiet stream where Elnora was already drinking and I knelt beside her scooping water up in my hands. Shortly after, I found her asleep on the ground next to me. I stood up and looked around, soaking in the beauty. Hanelle slowly approaches me and presses her face against mine. I never would have thought such an awkward hug could fill me with such comforting warmth. I began rubbing behind her ears and neck. I stood there content until my stomach began to rumble and Elnora lifted her head. She stood up and placed her nose under my hand and led me to the small forest of fruit trees. I picked two apples and handed one to her and one to her mother. I picked one more apple for myself and took a bite sitting myself down in the shade of the tree.
I stared at the horizon. I don't want to go home or do chores I just want to stay here, where I belong. I fell asleep in the middle of that oddly safe feeling field. I woke up to Elnora chewing on my bangs and realised she wanted me to look at something, the sunrise. Its orange hue stretched across the meadow and warmed my face. I sat there frozen staring at the horizon thinking about how the sun can change the world's colour with such ease and perfection, how it brought so much beauty to the planet and so much happiness. I felt a drop on my lap and realised I was crying. Happiness overwhelmed my soul as tears streamed down my cheeks. I felt a comforting warmth in my soul and began to feel like happiness was the only thing that existed. The only emotion left in my heart.
