1.1 Chapter 1
The sun has set but a bright red light could be seen somewhere in the heart of the forest. He started to sweat as he went closer to the light. A roar was heard and the light started charging at his direction. Someone had summoned him. He had to find out who was it that need his help so desperately that the calls for help broke through the barrier of magic he put around himself as he slept to avoid being called into other worlds. The heat intensified as the light came blundering towards him. He started running back to where he came from. Each step took a real effort to make. Trees crashed down where the light so roughly pushed through the thick forest.
All of a sudden, something knocked him down, flat on his face. 'There goes another one of my dressing gowns' he thought as he struggled to stand up. A unicorn lay panting near where he stood. The unicorn glowed a faint bluish light. A trickle of silver blood started down her flank. Her eyes were the color of blue, not the dull, plain blue but one with different hues depending on how you look at them. They were begging for mercy and crying out for his help. The roar sounded again. Now pure terror was in those beautiful eyes. He turned to look behind him. A massive red bull stood pawing the ground ready to charge at the helpless unicorn. It shone red and flares of burning flame shot from its body, making it look like the sun.
He didn't know what to do. It happened so fast. The bull stamped its foot and was going to drive its sharp horns into the unicorn. She neighed of fear. He raised his hands and called upon the power of magic to protect her. It flowed through him with a warm sensation and shot out of his fingertips in bright yellow and went straight towards the unicorn.
Then the situation calmed down. The bull snorted and backed away, confused. He didn't know what he had done but at least it stopped the bull. The bull then started to fade and vanished. He gave a sigh of relief and decided look at the wounded unicorn. She's still lying at the roots of the big tree but she's glowing an even brighter bluish light. He squinted and looked more closely. No she's not a unicorn…she's a girl. He gasped. The unicorn (now a girl) looked around as if in a daze. Then she realized that she's no longer a unicorn.
"What have you done to me? I'm…I'm not a unicorn," she said shocked. "I've just saved you from the red bull," he said.
"But what have you done to me? I can't…this isn't me…I…" she began to weep.
"Don't you understand? You're no longer a unicorn so you need not be afraid of the red bull anymore" he reassured her.
"But you're the one who doesn't understand. I'm more afraid of this human body than I was of the red bull," she replied…sinking deeper into despair.
"I'm sorry…I didn't know…"
He realized his mistake and tried to change her back but all he could do was a few strokes of light in the air. He didn't know what spell he used when the bull threatened to harm her. Now he doesn't know how reverse the spell to turn her back into a unicorn.
