All of the folk stared blankly around the hall of Trebond's castle . Alanna had disappeared , and before she had to totally freaked out !
" Coram . . .what in the Goddess's name just happened?" Raoul asked .
"I have no idea . . . this is bad . . not another one . ."
Raoul raised an eyebrow, his curiosity overlapping his shock. "Another one, you say?"
Coram sighed heavily. "I'm sorry I didn't tell ye . . . there have been . . about 6 disappearances around these parts . . . we thought they might have something to do with the unicorns. But it's so unbelievable . . we didn't think you'd . . well . . believe it."
Raoul eyed him. "Our late king and queen, gods bless them, were practically murdered by there closest relative. Immortals now live in our world after 4 centuries. We have some of the greatest mages in the world right in Corus; we even know there annoying habits! Now that is unbelievable! We would believe anything nowadays, Coram."
"Aye, Lord Raoul . . . I know that now." Rispah nodded in agreement.
"Men! Packup! Daine, Kitten, come on now! I have a hunch . . "Raoul ordered.
"I believe I do too . . "Daine muttered as she looked at the smiling faces of Coram and Rispah.
Daine stomped through the mucky grass near the spot her and Alanna had seen before. She had gotten away from the King's Own to explore on her own. Raoul was a dear, but she strongly doubted he had a good hunch. More then ever she also wished that Numair hadn't been needed at the palace in Corus as soon as they got to Trebond. Daine suddenly stopped and Kitten began squeaking softly, her nose sniffing like mad.
"Easy, Kitten . ." She whispered.
" E R R R R R R R R R R R R R R R A N E E E E I G H ! "
A sound came from the right, and all Daine saw was a black horn charging right at her until it stopped and snorted.
Daine opened her eyes to see an extremely small unicorn. It had a pure silver body, black horn, and strangely enough . . . copperhair.
"Hey there . . easy now . . ." she cooed to it. The unicorn snorted in reply.
"I thought unicorns could talk...maybe this one isn't as smart."
The unicorn snorted and it's eyes flashed. This unicorn didn't seem TO hostile . . maybe she could calm it . .
"Mithros!" She exclaimed. It's eyes were a shining violet. She would know those eyes any where. "Alanna! Goddess . . ."
- Daine! I'm a $*&$*&$ unicorn! That *$&$*&*$& yellow *&*$&*$& thing made me this! -
"Calm down Alanna! So there really WAS something stalking you?"
- #*#@*##*@ Yes! I &*$#&$#* told you *$&*$ so! Get me back to normal! -
"I . . I don't know how, but I'll try! Come on, we have to get back to the fortress."
- That's where the *&@*#&* yellow thing was! I am NOT going #$#&$* back there! -
"What do you mean it's back there? The yellow thing was at the castle?"
- That *%$&%$*%**&*%& thing is living at Trebond! I know it is! -
"That's interesting . . hurry let's go! You HAVE to go back, Alanna!" Daine said as she dragged the flaming unicorn back to Trebond and the King's Own.
"So you say that's Alanna in that unicorn?" Coram asked with doubt.
"Of course, Coram! Why don't you and Rispah believe me?" Daine pleaded. She had asked for a private meeting with them, herself, and . . . Alanna.
Alanna snorted and bucked, her eyes glowing with hatred and anger. Daine couldn't communicate with her like this; she wasn't even listening. Daine had to restrain her with a chain.
"Alanna is normally calm, Daine. That cannot possibly be her . . I'll order the Own to dispose of it." Rispah said curtly.
Daine nearly dropped the chain. "Rispah . . you ARE joking, right?" She said in dis-belief.
"Uh . . Of course I am. Just a little humor to liven up the moment. Hehehe "She said quickly, her and Coram exchanging nervous looks.
"Begging your pardon, but what's going on with you two? You haven't been your selves . . "Daine said as Alanna stopped and snorted. Then she bucked and neighed so loud it hurt her ears. Daine shut her eyes from the noise, and then opened them. She opened them to a sword .
" You know to much , bat - girl!" Coram shouted .
Everything went black .
" Coram . . .what in the Goddess's name just happened?" Raoul asked .
"I have no idea . . . this is bad . . not another one . ."
Raoul raised an eyebrow, his curiosity overlapping his shock. "Another one, you say?"
Coram sighed heavily. "I'm sorry I didn't tell ye . . . there have been . . about 6 disappearances around these parts . . . we thought they might have something to do with the unicorns. But it's so unbelievable . . we didn't think you'd . . well . . believe it."
