The Unicorn's Plight
Chapter 6
AN: I realize I put the same part twice. I apologize for that!
Dar and Ashley crept out of King Zad's chambers and into the city of Xinca. no knights were around, and Zad was probably with his soothsayer Slithius down below the city.
Ashley held onto the alicorn with all of her strength. No force on Earth would get her to let go of this magical item.
Ashley looked concerned. Dar had noticed this. "Why is there no security?" she asked. Dar chuckled. "I had a white horse pretend to be a unicorn while the sorceress gave it a fake alicorn. Zad and his knights took chase after her as a distraction," he said. "Once they catch her, they'll find it's a fake. Then she'll escape back to her mate," said Dar.
"You are too good," said Ashley. Then she kissed him on the cheek. Then both started running again. The people paid no attention.
Once out of the city, Ashley and Dar made it into the woods. The leaves and branches of the forest hid them very well. Ashley was concentrating on getting to the unicorns. Then all of a sudden, the unicorns came to her.
"Hi guys," she said. Both mare and stallion got on their knees for Dar and Ashley to mount on. Dar mounted the mare while Ashley mounted the stallion very quickly. God only knew when Zad would learn that the alicorn and the girl were missing.
"HYAH!" Ashley screamed while digger her heels into the stallions side. The stallion reared then bolted forward to the vast frozen part of the forest.
Dar looked at Ashley and smiled while the mare was galloping by her mate's side.
In no time at all, they got to the place where they were supposed to be. Ashley sighed. "This is it," she said. "Yes it is," said Dar. "If you don't mind, I want to do this alone," said Ashley.
"It's fine with me," said Dar. "And me too," came a voice from behind them. Ashley didn't turn around to match a face to that voice. She knew it was the Sorceress.
Ashley dismounted and very carefully made her way over to the fallen unicorn.
Tao was just coming around the corner of the snow when he joined Dar and the Sorceress. "You succeeded," he said. "Not yet," said the sorceress. All 3 adults watched Ashley.
The wind blew hard with the snow that was currently falling. It was so strong that it caused the hair tie in Ashley's hair to come apart. Her long brunette hair danced around.
Looking at the dead unicorn, its body was now buried beneath a mound of snow. Ashley bent down and uncovered the body. She touched it all over. "Come back to us," said Ashley. She placed the alicorn back on the unicorns forehead.
The sun then started peaking out over the scenery. Ashley looked up at the sky. The snow had stopped falling. Ashley let go of the alicorn and it stayed in its place.
Slowly Ashley backed away. Then the snow started to melt away. The birds started chirping. The sun became brighter and brighter.
The stallion and mare trotted over to Ashley and stood at either side of her, just waiting for the 3rd unicorn to come back to life.
Soon enough, the body of the unicorn was surrounded with cherry blossoms that were falling from the tree that it was lying under.
Then sure enough, the unicorn lifted his head and looked over at the sun. Then he looked at Ashley. He blinked while looking at her. "Come," she said. Then he got up and whinnied. He walked over to it's mother and father. All 3 of them cooed softly. All 3 nuzzles were nuzzling each other.
Ashley had tears running down her face. Tao and Dar went down to Ashley. "You did it," said Tao. "No, we did it," said Ashley. Dar put his arms around her in a bear hug.
"Oh hell," said Ashley. She turned around and kissed Dar right there and then on the lips. Dar leaned into it. "That's how I say thanks," she said as she broke the kiss.
"It's time for you to go," said Dar. "Yes. But how?" she asked. The 3 unicorns pranced over to her and put her in the center of them. They kissed her softly on the cheeks.
"That tickles," she giggled out. She made sure to kiss them and hug them to say thank you.
Then a huge wind started to blow around the 4 of them. The manes, forelocks, and tails of the unicorns were blowing everywhere along with the cherry petals.
The unicorns were sending Ashley back to her time. They were using their magic with their alicorns. "Good-bye! And make sure this doesn't happen again!!" said Ashley with a smile, then she disappeared.
Dar and Tao smiled then started to head back, while the 3 unicorns went their own way. Until the Sorceress put them into the stars to make sure that this wouldn't happen again.
