Part 37- The Unicorn Not Destroyed?
Obsidian was sitting in the cavern by herself. She had a smile on her lips as she drank tea and thought about how sweet it had been to see that unicorn turned to stone and then be blown up right before her eyes. As she sat there basking in her glory the sorcerer floated into the cavern. Obsidian set her tea down and knelt before him.
"My lord, the unicorn has been destroyed. Nothing stands in your way of taking over the universe now." She spoke with pride in her voice.
"You really think the unicorn is gone?" He said with a bit of skepticism in his voice.
"Oh yes lord. I saw the unicorn get shattered right in front of me. As soon as Amber gets back we will take some of your white powder and we will finish off the Sailor Soldiers for you as well." She was beginning to gloat.
"You are a foolish girl." He was scolding her and her face was puzzled as he began to explain. "First of all Amber won't be coming back. Those Sailor Soldiers destroyed him." He waved his hand at the closest wall of the cavern and the scene appeared showing Amber's downfall. Obsidian was horrified. He turned into a small, powerless creature. Was that what she was too; a tiny creature like that?
"But how…" She began but was so horrified that no words came.
"He underestimated their power. They are strong; surprisingly so. He was a worthless creature anyway." He paused once again.
"But the unicorn is still gone so if you give me more power then I can finish the Sailors off myself." She was willing to do anything to avoid the fate that Amber had met.
"Like I said before you are a foolish girl. The unicorn is not gone; at least not really. A unicorn in its true form can not be turned to stone. So you see that unicorn you thought you destroyed was not a real unicorn at all, but a projection. Unicorns have long been going into hiding in the form of other creatures. They are prized for the magic in their horn and a horn is useless while still attached to a unicorn, but the poor creature can't live without the magic in the horn. Such tragic creatures they are really. It's ironic, don't you think; to be killed by the thing that keeps you alive?" A dry smile came to his thin lips. "I'll give you the power you need to beat the Sailors. With Amber gone and the unicorn who knows where, you'll need the extra power before you meet the same fate as Amber did." He held his hands out in front of him and a black orb appeared between them. The orb floated over to Obsidian who took it graciously. "Don't let me down again." With that he left.
