Inspiration for Fanfic: Bruce Coville's book series, The Unicorn Chronicles. This sparked the idea for this first part of my fanfic mini-trilogy years ago, giving me the idea that maybe a unicorn should have an adventure. This is the fanfic that came from that idea.

Welcome to the first part in my fanfiction mini-trilogy, The Lone Unicorn, part of my Origin Series and my Long Series. :)
It's been years since I worked on the draft version of this fanfic, this first part in my fanfiction mini-trilogy. So, we finally get to see what the unicorns are capable of in my Seven Realms! It's going to be interesting. :)
Enjoy! :)

When the Universe was created by the Emperor-beyond-the-Sea, the Unicorns fled to the second Seven Realms. They were the first to enter this new world. It was Aslan's gifts that allowed the Unicorns to divide into separate breeds, depending on the location they chose. And with that, their coat colors shifted from the standard white coat. Even their spiral horns shifted into different shades, to match their coats as well as compliment the colors of their coats.
And so, it was at the beginning of the Universe and the creation of the world, the second Seven Realms, that the Unicorn Breeds were formed, ranging from the High Unicorns, the greatest of the Unicorn Breeds with shiny silver coats, to the Dark Unicorns with their black coats and grey spiral horns.
The Dark Unicorns had a decision to make and only one unicorn, Arabella Skydancer, before the time she journeyed to the world called Luster, could confront this mysterious breed of unicorns.
.
Arabella wandered towards the Mountains in the Land of Unicorns in the Time Before the First Age. She had a job to do: convince the Dark Unicorns to protect the other breeds from the rest of the realms. She would perform this task well and with great surety. Her journey was blocked the moment one of the silver High Unicorns, the leader of the High Unicorns, stepped in front of her.
"Let me go! I have to see the Dark Unicorns!" Arabella cried. She was young and fierce, but her heart was in the right place.
"They've gone rogue!" a second silver High Unicorn, a young one, said, daring to announce herself before the leader of the High Unicorns.
"Who? The Dark Unicorns? Then I'll reason with them!" Arabella said, determined to get the job done.
"And so, you shall!" The leader of the Dark Unicorns said, flying in and retracting his feathery black wings. This leader snarled at Arabella, not wanting to be disturbed. "You have no place in these Mountains. Go home!"
"Wait. I want to bargain with you," Arabella said, stepping past the leader of the High Unicorns. "A bargain for you and your breed to protect the other unicorns of this land. Can you achieve this?"
The leader of the Dark Unicorn grunted, nodding. "We will protect them. We are no enemy. The other unicorn breeds will be safe in this land. For now, until one unicorn goes rogue. Until that time, this land shall remain hidden from the other realms. But that doesn't mean it won't be known to the other realms." He snickered. He looked at Arabella, telling her in a serious tone, "Now go! Luster awaits you, Arabella, and you don't want to miss it." He flew off a moment later, announcing to the rest of the Dark Unicorns they had their mission to uphold. The Dark Unicorns agreed, their eyes blazing red with fury and understanding.
Arabella watched as a rippling iridescent bubble formed over the land, protecting the realm from the other six realms. She smiled, grateful to see the unicorns would be safe. She turned to the leader of the High Unicorns, bumping heads with her, before proceeding towards one of the nearest portal gates.
"You will return, won't you?" the leader of the High Unicorns asked, curiously.
Arabella looked at the leader of the High Unicorns, nodding to her. "One day, the unicorns will be free to explore the other realms and worlds. Until that time, stay safe and don't venture out of the iridescent bubble protecting this land. It'll keep you, your kin, and the rest of the unicorn breeds safe, for the time being."
"Yes, until one of our own goes rogue, whenever that comes to pass," the leader of the High Unicorns said, nodding and smiling at Arabella as she went on her way through the portal, vanishing from the second Seven Realms and leaving the other unicorns not knowing what to do.
The leader of the High Unicorns hoped that a unicorn would come and allow them to explore the other realms. For now, the unicorns would remain safe, even as the leader of the High Unicorns found a new home for her breed to live at.
