Author's note: ::grins:: Silverfox, there is no way a unicorn will let Salazar near it. Tia'RaHu, the Thirteen had nothing to do with this. Shirely, I hope your question is answered. ::hugs Sara:: Tinderblast, you know already. ^^ Miss Sera, feel free to imagine what had happened.

"Godric," someone called out from behind him, and he turned to see Helga hurrying through the entrance hall, which was teeming with students going on their ways. Breakfast had just ended.
"Where are you going off to now?" Helga asked immediately as soon as she reached him by the main doors. There was a look of disapproval on her face when he answered he was heading to the forest.
"Really, Godric," she reprimanded, "no more hunting. You have captured enough creatures to make the Great Hunter Orion himself envious."
"I'm not going out to hunt, Helga," he answered, sounding patient though he desperately wanted to leave. He knew she wasn't making a fuss, because she didn't want him capturing another beast.
Godric knew Helga was worried for his sake, because of what had happened to him.

Before Helga could suggest that she go along with him, Godric turned away abruptly and left with a brusque, "Leave me alone."
"Godric!" Even as she finished his name, he was already out the doors and down the steps. She was about to go after him when she heard Rowena calling her name.
Helga turned to see the other witch standing just a few steps behind her with a crowd of students and children milling around them and watching with puzzled expectant eyes.
For the few times in her life, Helga felt helpless when Rowena shook her head, silently saying to Helga to leave Godric alone.

I wish they would leave me alone.
Out in the open field between the castle and the dark brooding forest, Godric shivered though it was warm and sunny without a single cloud to mar the perfect blue sky.
He felt cold, feeling as though he was naked as he quickened his pace until he was running rather than walking. He only slowed when he entered into the woods.
The path which he often took while in the forest was a trail so hard to discern that Godric was certain no one else knew there was even a path. As for how Salazar had found him several days ago, Godric knew it was his own fault for stumbling like a blind man through the woods that day and thus leaving a trail so clear any amateur tracker could follow.
But not today. He would be careful today. Godric could only hope Salazar had forgotten the way to the clearing. Unicorns usually gather there, and they would stop coming there if Salazaar visited the area too often.
The unicorns barely tolerated Godric's presence now.
Tainted... They know I'm tainted, Godric thought sadly as he neared his destination. They won't let me touch them now. They won't even let me approach them.
But at least they don't run away.
As long as I don't come too near.
Suddenly, he heard a fearful cry coming from the direction of the clearing. Godric froze momentarily before rushing the rest of the way. He burst into the open area and was stopped dead by the sight that greeted him.
In the center of the clearing, enclosed in a large shimmering silver sphere was a unicorn foal, still golden.
It was whinnying softly, piteously, clearly frightened by its captor standing outside the translucent prison.
It was Salazar.
To be continued.
