Lest stood in front of the group and brought them forth as they walked under the night sky. When day broke they were halfway up the river. They went under a large willow tree to hide from other unicorns. Leelo stayed awake as guard to peer out from the long willow branches. But after 2 hours no one came. Anouther hour past and the sun began riseing more and more. Not one unicorn, Celestial or plain, came to stumble upon the four black unicorns. Anouther hour. The sun had left the ground and was hovering in the air, getting ever high in the sky, makeing its blue hue get lighter and lighter. A breeze picked up in the spring air. Leelo shook her head as her eyes almost closed. She had to stay awake her full 5 hours.
The grass swayed in a small breeze. Leelo lay her head down. 'I will only rest' she thought desperatly. 'I will not close my eyes'. But her eyelids droped down ever so slowly until her eyes were only slits. Then her eyes were covered completely. She tried to yank them open but it was like they were super glued shut. She was too tired to move. All she managed to do was flick her tail. Soon the light seeping through the willow branches darkened. Her mind was closing into darkness and she couldn't stop it. The darkness took over Leelo. Suddenly she was galloping across feilds. She was a Celestial unicorn. No troubles. She was accepted and everyone was her friend. No one could hurt her. She had fallen asleep, dispite all her struggles.
Celisty troted the plains happyily. Her pelt of lilac, it was easy to see she was a Celestial unicorn of the purple band. Here on a mission to find and wound demon unicorns, yet she was stopping to smell the roses. She doubted finding demon unicorns when she just headed out. Her nostrils flared, sniffing the large rose-like plants of Balinor. She looked under willow trees to chat with the birds and squirrels. She saw a willow tree that no chirping or clucking came from. 'Curious' she thought. She did a bounceing trot towards the willow tree, basiclly worried she might find some carcass of a poor unicorn being killed by a demon one. The stench of demon unicorn hit her nostrils like fire. She became more worried if what she thought was true, and it WAS a carcass of a poor unicorn that had bravly fought to defend itself.
She pushed her head through the limbs and instintly pulled it back out, as though yanked. She was even more shocked to find four sleeping demon unicorns. Celisty stood there and it took her 2 minutes to recover from the shock. She had a sense of duty. Sticking her head through again she looked for the largest male, guessing it wold be the leader to attack. Sheing the largest with the longest horn, snuggled next to the largest mare, she snorted. Lowering her lilac horn she took a deep breath and plunged it for the large males stomech. She felt her bone like horn enter and the unicorn jerk awake, blood red eye wide with shock and rage. The female next to him did the same. She kicked at the other male who awoke with a start, awaking the female next to him. What a dominoe affect! She quickly pulled her horn out and backed off a bit.
The large male charged out of from the veil and after her. She shreiked as the large female cut her off anf the male demon but his horn deep in her left hip. She screamed and ash she pulled away she was in a ring of black unicorns, their red eyes deep with anger from being awoke and attacked from their peaceful sleep. Celisty was terrified. "Please...please don't h-harm me..." she said. "Why not?!" asked the smaller male. "You attacked us!!" She looked down, ears pinned and body shaking in fear. "I-I'm a Celestial unicorn. They picked me to harm any demon unicorn I came across. B-but I'm too soft..." the fae admited. The four murmered in their friends ears. Celisty felt she was on trial. She was being judged. She felt a lump grow in her throat and awaited her fate.
The four murmered. Leelo and Lest argued with Dawe about letting the fae off if she just promised to do something for them. Dawe gave in. Fernly stood silent, being not one ever to judge anouther. Lest finally spoke. "Well fae. I am Lest" he said. "You have wounded me but I feel I can let you go with my payback". He eyed her hip wound he imprinted on her. The mare looked down in shame. "Though if we let you go I ask of you for two things: Your name and a favor". She looked up. "I am Celisty. What is your favor Lest?" she asked. "I ask of you to go out and find out friend named Geogin. Tell her we will cross the river and wait a day for her on the other side." Lest said. She smiled an nodded. The ring broke. "Remember...if you need help just call for Lest, Dawe, Leelo, and Fernly" the stallion softly said. With that, Celisty departed.
Lest sighed. He turned at the river and took a drink. The others did two. "Come" Lest said. "We leave to cross the river". He turned and cantered toward where the river would turn and they would cross. The other three cantered after. Even though it was day, they were too tense to sleep for safty. At dusk, they reached the river bend. The water was neck deep and would be dangerous to cross. Fernly, being now the weakest here, would have Dawe help her cross the rough water. Lest went first. The rapids were hard and he stroked hard to get to the other end. When he felt his legs touch hard ground he scrambled up the bank and stood panting at the other side of the river, exhusted. Leelo went next. Her struggle was a little harder. Her leg pumped and she worked hard to get to the bank. Scrambleing up too, she was more wobbley legged than Lest was.
Dawe and Fernly went at the same time. All was the same as the other twos fight until the middle. Fernly lost balence and fell over, being swept a little upstream. Dawe let go of his roughly implanted feet and went over. Working with the stream her got infront of Ferly and implanted his hooves again and stopped, although almost falling over himself. Fernly regained her head and they finally got to the other side and they lay down, shivering, after moveing over to Leelo and Lest. "We will need this night and days rest. It 'tis good we will be waiting for Geogins return." Lest said. The others nodded in agreement. They all curled together to warm each other up from the cold water and returned to their sleep, exgusted. They had crossed. Now they wait.
Celisty didn't know where to begin. She troted around the area about a dozen times. She couldn't even catch a whiff of demon unicorn; male or female. She sighed and as dusk fell she lay under a willow tree. She would continue the search tommarrow. Closeing her eyes a dream from the DreakSpeaker came. 'Celisty...I have seen these demons journey. Find the fae they want you to find. Go south an hour and you will find two demon unicorns, both friends of that band. Do not worry. No demon will harm you'. Then the voice faded away and Celisty jerk awoke. She sensed which way was North. Now she had to forfill the black unicorns wishes...for even the Dreamspeaker told her two. She rose and galloped hard, off to find the two other demon unicorns.
