Me: Well even though I have too much on my plate as it is, I'm adding another story to my list. This is a sequel to Legacy of the Warrior. In this story, Ari and Frostfire have to go out on their own and defend their family, finding cool magic stuff on the way too.

VampGirl: Just give the story away.

CJ:Yeah jeeze.

Me: What. Ever.

VampGirl: But we are all so glad you are back. (glares at disagreeing readers) Aren't we?

CJ: Oh shut up and start the fic!

Fred: And now I'm singing out of key, the God of your T.V.
And all your children will worship me
So give me drugs, your bitches, and your S.T.D's

See me in the headlines
Manipulate your simple minds
So put your hands up and praise
I'm your god and you're my slave
(People Hate Me-Murderdolls)

Saying of the Day: I'm not crazy. The world is just insane.

The desprate cries of a wounded animal echoed through the near empty forest. The creature burst through a mass of trees and stood, silhouetted by the moonlight. The silver light revealed the animal as a unicorn. Its silver hide was stained with its own crimson blood. Its pale blue mane was streaked with sweat and blood. Wide eyes searched for its pursuer.

Nearby trees rustled as a monster creature crept into the light. Yellow eyes watched its prey with hunger. In shape, it appeared to be horse until you took in the reptillian eyes, long fangs, olive green scales and claws in place of hooves. The moster gave a joyous cry of victory.

The unicorn screamed in fear, rearing to hit the predator with deadly hooves. The monster dodged and plunged sharp teeth into the unicorn's neck. The silver creature swung a glowing horn and hit the monster in the shoulder. Shrieking in pain, the reptillian horse backed away, giving the unicorn a fraction of a second it used to bolt. The horned horse cried out to whoever would listen, begging help.

The predator sat, satisfaction flashing in its yellow eyes. The unicorn would not get far because the monster's teeth held a deadly poison. All the creature had to do was wait.

In a world not so far away on the web of magic, a raven haired girl sat straight up in bed. Cold sweat covered her body as she struggled for breath. She slipped off her tank top and stood in front of the mirror, inspecting her body for evidence of the teeth that had sunk through her flesh in her dreams. She shuddered and sank onto her bed, running her hand over her clammy forehead.

A feeling of love and concern brushed against her mind. She gave a weak smile and held up and a silver-green stone.

"I'm fine, Frost. Just a bad dream."

'I'm coming in anyways.'

For a moment, mist covered the messy floor. Then pulling herself together, a she-wolf with white-blue fur stood, ice blue eyes swirling with reflected distress. She placed her head in the girl's lap and locked her eyes with her friend's.

'What is wrong, Ari?'

The girl, Ari, lowered her gaze and remembered her dream. The fear and pain of the unicorn had thrummed through her. She had felt it as the reptillian creature sunk its teeth into the unicorn's flesh. But she was also confused. Her friend, Emma was more likely to have empathic dreams where she was a wounded animal. Did this mean her powers were gorwing, spreading away from her more warrior based magic? Was she meant to save the unicorn?

"I don't know."

The next morning, Ari was out bright and early. After her disturbing dream, she could not fall asleep, even with Frostfire curled on her legs. Now she stood in the magic glade, her gem which she had named the earth stone, raised above her head. Her ice blue eyes were closed in concentration. She tried to reach out, call the wounded unicorn. Her silver-green magic flared wildly, raw power spreading, barely controlled. Frost pressed herself against her pack mate.

'Focus on the unicorn. Connect with it as you did in your dream. Feel its pain. Calm its fear with love and the protection of Ravenswood.' the mistwolf instructed.

Ari reached out for the connection she had felt. She opened her heart, letting her true magic flow out in search of the wounded unicorn. A spark. She pushed herself farther, sending her promise of help tied deep into a wave of love.

Flash! She was running. Her legs screamed for rest. Her lungs burned for air.

Flash! She smelled the thing. It was close and she could not keep away from it for much longer.

Flash! She felt the poison infecting her, killing her. Her end was near.

Flash! She felt the pure magic of a mage calling to her. Her last hope.

Ari screamed, stumbling as the connection with the unicorn faded. She fell to her knees, hand over her heart, willing it to stop its fast beat. Frost whispered calming words and after a few minutes passed, she could breathe again.

'What happened?'

"The unicorn does not have much time left. If it comes, it may still be too late."

Frost nodded. 'I will summon the healer. Stay strong, Ari.'

The wolf bumped her head against the girl's and spread into mist. The mist snaked away at breakneck speed, just missing the big black wolf in time.

Dreamer, Ari's mother's pack mate, stood in front of her. His bond with the warrior had lengthened his life and even after twenty some-odd years, he was still as powerful physically as he was as a young wolf.

'I sensed strong magic. What have you and Frostfire been up to?' Dreamer asked, accusingly. The white star on his chest shone in the sunlight. His emerald eyes bore in Ari.

"Testing our magic. We just got carried away." Ari said, standing and brushing the dust off her clothes.

'Then why did she just bolt out of her as fast as she could manage.'

"What is this the Spanish Inquisition?"

Dreamer snorted, shaking his head and muttering something about young pups minding their place. He turned and walked away.

Ari sighed and looked around her. She felt exposed without Frost at her side. Growling she headed into the trees. Here, she had the steady magic of the forest to guide her. Holding up her earth stone, she called out to Frost.

'Where are you?'

'I'm almost to the healer.'

'Come back as soon as you can.'

'I will.'

As the connectin between pack mates ended, Ari was assaulted with pain. An off key note sounded inside her head. She winced in pain and stumbled forward. It was the unicorn, she was sure of it. She reached out and brushed the creature's mind.

"I'm here. Don't be afraid." she called out.

A voice, blurred by static, called. 'Where are you then? I can't see you!' The unicorn was panicing, Ari could tell. Summoning her strength, she walked into the glade.

What should have been a magnificent unicorn was a bleeding, shaking and stumbling mess of a creature. It looked at her with dull brown eyes. A once powerful horn was barely even glowing. The unicorn shuddered and collapsed, fatigue taking over.

Ari ran to it, earth stone flaring widly as she told Frost to hurry. She knelt by the unicorn and ran her hand over the unicorn's soft neck.

"My name is Ari. What is yours?"

'I…am…Cloud.'

'The healer comes.' Frost's voice called in her head. Ari nodded and gently sent a wave of earth magic in Cloud so that it could live at least until Emma came.

'I have little time left. Please don't wate your strength on me.' Cloud begged.

"I felt your pain when you were attacked. We are connected somehow and I will not let you die without fighting."

Cloud sent a wave of confusion to Ari. The girl ran her hand between the unicorn's eyes. It closed its eyes, trying to focas on the pure magic the mage was sending it. Ari could feel its desperation, its need to survive. She prayed that the healer came in time. She wasn't sure what would happen if she didn't and that thought scared her.

Me: So that is the first chappie. The second one might not be out for a while cause school just started and I am going to be swamped. Well REVIEW! Oh and if it seems a bit confusing in the beginning, it is because I lack the imagination to come up with more names for the word unicorn. Thanks for being so understanding…I hope…O well.
