Chapter 5
On the far side of the pond were five majestic unicorns. Some were sunning themselves in the bright sun that flowed through bits and pieces of the canopy. The rest, foals, were splashing around in the shallow parts of the pond. Daine just stood there in awe, then she turned to Kaddar.
"Beautiful creatures, aren't they he," he asked.
"Yes, are they tame?"
"No, but they are good with humans, you can usually go up and pet one."
Daine slowly got off her horse and walked around the small pond to the sunbathing unicorns. As she got closer she noticed that the animals didn't even look up, like she wasn't even there. She couldn't believe how used to people they must be to not even flinch. Their fur was soft and velvety to her skin as she slowly brought her hand across the immortal's back. Daine spent a good hour talking with the group of unicorns and playing with the foals. Kaddar just sat back and watch her laugh and play, happy to know that he had caused that pleasure in her eyes. Soon the group left to go to their shelter in the forest.
"You know, I've never really talked to a unicorn like that. There aren't that many in Tortall, and mostly all of those are killer unicorns so you can't go anywhere near them."
"Really? There are only a few near to the city; I'm not sure how many are in the rest of the country. I'm glad you liked them," he replied, smiling.
"Now, are there any other magical creatures you plan on showing me? If there is you might as well tell me now cause I won't stop bugging me until I find out what they are."
"Well, actually. No this is it. I figured that you might want to see them because you were so close to horses. Plus, I really like this place. I go here when I have to think about things, usually the unicorns aren't here. But I was told that this little group had come in earlier so I took the opportunity to show you."
Getting up from his seat, Kaddar walked over to the horses and pulled a picnic lunch out of the saddle bag. Laying it in front of them, they ate the sandwiches and fruits while talking of various topics.
Later they were walking around the pond, when Daine found her chance to push Kaddar into the pond. He surfaced the water to find a hysterical Daine. Out of the kindness of her heart she held a hand out to help him back to the shore. Taking the perfect opportunity, he grasped her hand and tugged her into the cool water. Daine gasped as the chilly liquid touched her skin.
When she found that the bottom was deeper than she suspected, she swam to a more shallow area with Kaddar in close pursuit. Laughingly, she splashed water at Kaddar, and soon a splash war erupted between the two. After their arms grew tired, they began to walk out of the pond. As Daine walked slowly behind Kaddar her foot met the slimy algae of a rock, causing her to slip. When Kaddar heard her yelp, he quickly turned around, catching her before she fell under the water. (a/n: I know it's cliché, but it has to happen!) As he pulled her to her feet, his eyes caught hers and they just stood there and stared at each other. Finally, Kaddar brought his lips down to meet hers in a passionate, deep kiss. After a while they pulled apart, panting and made their way back to the horses. After mounting their horses they slowly rode back to the castle.
In the stable they met for another kiss, as well as every once in a while from walking back to dinner to when Kaddar left Daine at her room that night. She couldn't sleep for some hours because ethoughts of her day with Kaddar ran through her brain, what a great day it was!!
A/N: Please Review, it makes me so happy!
