The Balinor Chronicles: The Celestial Herd
Chapter 13: Imagine
If you wish to foresee the future, imagine a valley, caught in between imposing, impenetrable mountains, but filled with lushness. Imagine a paradoxical heaven, comprised of rolling vales of luxurious grass, crunchy flowers, spreading orchards, and a single strand of challenging forest….
Imagine a herd, the Herd, of Unicorns who number as the stars, whose coats are the colors of the very paints that the Supreme Ruler used to create the worlds. Imagine tottering foals, encouraged by their dams and protected by their sires. Imagine six Stallions of regal beauty and immortal strength. Imagine all content to spend their lives in a place untouched by snow, ignored by rain, and forgotten by death. Imagine a world that seems to be made woven solely of magic; so great in harmony are its creatures…
Imagine…
Imagine and you will see. Imagine and one would think that all is safe, all is well, no more will the Valley be torn so much as it was. Imagine, if you will, if you care, if you wish…just imagine….
But behold the paradox: lightning will strike in a land untouched by rain.
Stormy times lie ahead.
