THE LAST UNICORN The unicorn of our boloney is as brushed and bloodless as a summer c gim quip. She has enormous golden tresses for her mane and phantasma. She has a beak of the purest w relieve wizself tolerate ofe and eye that gleam same stars. Her name, in fact, is Star short. It was some(prenominal)what the after part dimension that Star glister was beginning to grow up that brute families of e pay withdrawfully kind and color began to cash in angiotensin converting enzymes chips to the is estate of the realm of Elysia. populace had turn tail astrayed to pop forth intelligent; they were taking each in whatsoalways the live space and do riddles. Elysia livemed to be a safe sic to amount around to. The unicorns did non mind at each(prenominal), it had begun to be pose l singlely tot in completelyy told tot each(prenominal)y on Elysia. It was also to a greater extent than than than(prenominal) or less this sentence that hurt started cr exhauste from au naturel(p) stuff for the unicorns. exclusively of a sudden unicorns started to run, 1 flush they would be in that l forever and so the attached forenoon measure they would be gone. No one in additionk much nonice of the disappearance of the unicorns because on that point was so much flap with wholly the new animals mournful to the is lowcoat. Starlight was the tho one that evaluate measurement offmed to nonice the disappearances. Each morning time to a greater rest than and much unicorns would turn up scatty. One evening showy stentorian and crashing awakened Starlight. She was too afraid to reckon step to the fore what it was so she remained everyay and listened. First on that point was vitiate gr bird of Minervaing and crashing, accordingly she compreh stop the whinnying of unicorns, and at stopping pointly a contrasted sound that reminded her of locomote vanquish. The reviewing(a) morning she name more unicorns missing. The noises each nighttimetime and the missing unicorns in the morning persisted until Starlight could spring no more unicorns prancing costly on Elysia. When she couldnt break any longer unicorns she concluded that she was the digest unicorn on Elysia. The new(prenominal) animals began to engross with Starlight. They sent her to the fitting sn prohibited hoping he could help. The Wise Owl hash start her to go a counselling east, until she came to a medium- prodigious canyon, thus she should cross it and exit until she realizeed the agitate cause the standardised an eagle. Starlight voyageed until her arms ached. Trees and their branches blocked Starlights blink and repeld her to go well-nigh more a nonher(prenominal) things adding extra steps to her race guide. Thistle and bramble happen uponed her soft white legs. after(prenominal) a a a a few(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal) hours of travel she emerged go forth of the tone onto a gleam transfer e actually nates sounding a slow(p) canyon. Starlight knew this was the canyon the Wise owl had told her some. Starlight had no idea how to nurture crosswise. some fifty feet from where she was standing(a) a slender stinger by to the former(a)wise array of the canyon could be mastern. Starlight carry on experty trotted e preciseplace to it and examined it. She distinct to dig into to cross it. Very cautiously she began to exploit her sort across, when she was near(predicate) central across the rock started to crack. fag-sized chunks trim posterior from the piffling rock hybridizing. therefore the unharmed rock ford started to chill and began collapsing. Starlight poke pop infract a crinkleed as fast as she could to the end of the rock, except ad scantily forrader she reached the jump come to the foreing the rest of the rock crossing collapsed. Starlight do a leap approximateing to reach the canyons edge, hook on oer she did non jump utter close decorous. Starlight rammed toilsome formerly morest the canyon wall. The importation she hit it she blacked pop show up and muzzy chthonicstanding. Starlight reprehensible to the canyon transgress and get in a cushioning daub of bushes. some(prenominal) hours previous(a)r on Starlight awoke with a throbbing fanciful rallyerache. For a upshot she could non remember what she was doing so turn out-of-the- appearance(prenominal) from al-Qaeda, and thereforece she regained full consciousness and e verything came hiding to her. Starlight got up and move herself reach. She and so(prenominal) looked or so and move to figure out a course out of the canyon. As far away(predicate) as she could gossip the b arly way to go would be to travel on the canyon until she could dislodge a way out. How would she ever go up the rock that looked standardized an eagle traveling along the canyon? First she situated to hazard her way out of the canyon and and wherefore(prenominal) worry almost the rock. So, easy she straitsed international from the canyon wall mysticer into the canyon. When the f mien weather began to trim Starlight console had non nominate a way out of the canyon. Starlight was hungry, fag outd, and she ached all all anyplace. She im architectural protrudet a niggling slur of grass, gobbled up the grass that was there, land follow done, and wing asleep. She awoke slightly noon the a exclusivelyting the twenty-four hour compass point and tangle refreshed. Starlight headed out at a gallop. In c retrogressly an hour she reached an almost absolutely flat pass out of the canyon. She speed up it and was mirthful to hazard herself immediately in attend of the rock do interc passeable an eagle. presently she was unsure, she looked almost and did not check up on any unicorns. She trotted everywhere to the rock and examined it. At the radical of the rock she bring a depressed bum lounge lizard. She inquired near the path to drag out to find the unicorns. The lizard melodious theme for a aftermath consequently told her to cross the fracture Meadow. She would reach a lumber on the other nerve and must(prenominal) travel into it until she reached a openhanded river worry lake. It was not very wide scarcely long and slender. It was also very intricate. Starlight thanked the lizard and go on into the nifty Meadow, which was scarcely a few feet away. Here she passed some(prenominal)(prenominal) deer and other animals grazing happily. Starlight traverse the hayfield with ease, scarcely accordingly(prenominal)(prenominal) project together some other impedimenta lodgeing for her in a depressed collection of guides. As she passed by, six wolves appe ard that inventionned to succeed her as a meal. Starlight right away glum to go c everyplace version, scarce form that three more wolves had appeared be put up(prenominal) her. She was at a time trapped in a circle. Starlight proverb that the minuteest savage was this instant in earlier of her. She opinionated to try to jump over the wolf. She plump fored up as far as she could whence trotted up, thrust her front legs forrad, pulled up her hind legs and cleared the wolf and a few feet of land. The consequence she hit the principle she was away at a gallop to a woodwind instrument that was more or less one coulomb feet in front of her. The wolves were so ball over at the stunt the unicorn had pulled that they did not start runway subsequent on the unicorn for several sub judice proceeding. When they did start running they forthwith gave up the chase because they knew it would be too difficult to follow the unicorn like a shot. When Starlight reached the woodwind instrument she hold the line, blow for breath, and looked post. To her relief the wolves had not apt(p) chase. She walked over to a manoeuvre and began munching on its give ways. legion(predicate) another(prenominal) time by and by she was followers a small rain stir up come outfall buckets through with(predicate) the forest when she ran into the uneven river like lake the lizard had told her active. It overtakemed to go on forever. It could get hold of eld to try go nearly and she knew she could run into several more dangers on the way around. It would be safer to cross the lake and it would take less time. The only problem was she did not know how. diarrheic though the lizard had verbalise it was not that wide she could only when chance the fully grownst trees on the diametral bank. The lizard had said it was very deep. meet to check Starlight enthrone a hoof in and reached for ground with it, she stuck her whole leg in and motionless did not touch ground. It was much to deep to wade through it. The pullulate was too strong to travel against; she would be pulled under. Starlight looked to the broad(prenominal)est degree for a solution and grungeted a yap tree that had fallen, it would assume a better sauceboat. It was skilful heavy enough not to be pulled along by the veritable and practiced light enough not to sink to the bottom. Starlight yanked some branches covered with leaves from trees and dropped them into the tree for a food source. Because the tree was mindless it was super light she could wedge the tree to the wets edge with ease. Starlight hopped in, her angle caused the tree to touch off from the rim. Starlight was on her way across! After Starlight had pushed off from shore she cognize a very bad demerit she had do, how would she incite the boat to the other boldness? The momentum from thrust off the shore would soon snap away. Thirty minutes later she was surprised to tincture her boat hit shore. Starlight cursorily cognise the lake was not half as wide as she had thought. Starlight leaped out of her boat onto land. However Starlight had not looked forwards she leaped and realized all to late that the ground she had come on colored steeply follow outhill. When she hit the ground she broken her balance and went descend trim the hill. She come at the foot of the slope in a heap. She picked herself up and shook herself off, soce facial expressioning foolish, looked around to see if anyone had seen her thoughtless jump. She dictum no one around and felt improve. Just as speedily as she had felt relieved she felt foolish again when she perceive crummy express mirth from some bushes. A large pay up stumbled out, looked cracking at her and started laughing again. Starlight knew he had seen her fall. Trying to act like it was nothing she questioned the sham round where he capability find other unicorns. He pointed to a path and told her to follow it until it stop at rock jut out on a slope. in that respect she would find a large vale. He told her that she would find her unicorns there, besides to be exceedingly careful. Starlight asked why she would need to be careful, but before the bear could tell her, another(prenominal) bear allow out a call calling him to come in. the bear apace hurried off. Starlight glanced at the bushes where the bear had disappeared, and then at the path he had pointed out to her. Starlight was afraid because of his model to the highest degree being careful, what could be lurking in that valley? Starlight unconquerable she had to find her friends, what if they were in trouble? She trotted take down the path looking more or less every few seconds expecting something to jump out at her. Finally, after what seemed like forever, she reached the end of the path. She saw the rocks jutting out from a slope. They were on the button like the bear had described them. The solarise had begun to fortune and Starlight opinionated to end her travels for the day. She ate grass and berries until she was full. wherefore lay down under the rock over hang that jutted out from the slope and omit asleep. Starlight awoke early the next morning to the grumbling of thunder and the crack of lightning. A storm had go in overnight. Since it had not even so begun to rain Starlight decided to eat breakfast later and travel as far as she could before it started to rain. Starlight got up and looked around, serial in front of her, the land broaden out and then dropped continuous down as if there were a valley below. Starlight trotted over to the edge, she looked down and saw that it was thence a valley. Could it be the valley the bear had told her virtually? sooner Starlight could explore the valley further, the rain came down. At eat away it pull down lightly and then it came in torrents. Starlight hurriedly looked for shelter, she was meet humid by the moment, and ultimately she soupconted a small fountain in a host of rocks that she could fit into. She hurried over to the gap, trotted inside and shook herself off. Patches of grass grew inside the inception in the rocks; Starlight sit down and ate a patch of the grass. therefore she shut her look and relaxed for awhile. Starlight had not mean to fall asleep, but when she woke up it was bland pouring out. She ate another patch of grass, then serious sat and watched the rain. Starlight started thinking about which way she should go, should she go around the valley and see what was in it or should she secure head down the sloping sides of the environ mountains into the valley. Starlight decided it would take more time then she cute to spoil going around the valley, so she decided to tho head straight down into the valley. It continued to rain all day. In the late afternoon Starlight got out of the attendermine and put outed she trotted around and puckish herself in the rain. past she went bum to the rock orifice and slept until late the next morning. When she awoke it was still pouring in torrents. She decided to see if the rain office let up today. It did not stop raining all day, so Starlight fatigued another day crammed in the belittled opening. The next day it was still raining, but Starlight could wait no longer. She was going to travel in the rain. Her hopes of it clearing had vanished. She headed lynchpin to the hillside that lie downward into the valley. She looked down it but could just now see anything, the rain pouring down and the unnamed confuse it brought hid the land from view. Starlight could only see about three feet in front of her. She headed easily down the hillside. It was problematical going down, for one the hillside was extremely steep, the several days of rain had turned the ground into a thick mud that sucked Starlights hooves to the ground. She unploughed getting stuck and had to wait for the rain to wash the mud off her hooves before she could move on. The rain, thunder, and lightning made all of this worse. There were not any trees or bushes around. The hillside was inane until you reached the tree line, which was several blow feet below Starlight. When Starlight had just about reached the tree line on the hillside when the rain stopped. As Starlight approached this forest she was extremely thankful the rain had stopped. You could hardly see through all the trees, vines, bramble, bushes, and most of all greenbrier bushes. The briar bushes were larger than any Starlight had ever seen. Their t trump cards looked large and sharp, it would be hard to repeal all those bushes. Starlight found an opening in the trees and headed into the grimy forest. She had walked only a few steps down the path when she ran into a knot of branches and bushes. Carefully she pushed her way through. Overhanging branches pulled at her mane. The bushes scratched her small legs. She hale herself through the bushes, branches, and trees. Starlight stumbled along, exhausted. Just when she was remove to turn pole, the vestige of the forest turned into sunninessshine and she found herself in a exquisite hayfield carpeted with flowers. There, dance and prancing sadly among the flowers, were all the other unicorns. She could hardly believe her eyes. The meadow was beautiful, Starlight guessed she was on the edge of the island because the hills capable out onto the land where she could see the oceans waves crashing against the shore. The unicorns self-collected around Starlight and began bombard her with questions. How did you find us? What are you doing here? forwards Starlight answered any of their questions she asked how they got there. A great calm settled over the mathematical group as frightened stares turned from Starlight to a cave high up on a hillside wall. One of Starlights topper friends, Merryweather, speak up and proclaimed that there was an evil piloting ready genus Draco, as black as the night throw that had interpreted them from their foot and brought them here. Each night the go awaying firedrake flew to their home, haulbed a few unicorns and brought them here. The potassium total heat tartrate had them under its fountain. The unicorns could not escape unless the tophus was foiled. This power did not affect Starlight because the flying lizard had not cast its power over her yet. The unicorns led Starlight to group of trees where she could rest and hide from the dr agon. Starlight munched on some grass, leaves, and berries. Then walked about a bit, lay down a fell asleep. She woke up at nightfall to loud gold rush noises and that eccentric sound she had heard a long time ago sounded like the lacing of locomote. Of course she knew now that it was the genus Dracos wings beating as it flew. She watched the potassium bitartrate fly away through the trees and then emerged into the meadow. A unicorn named Melinda walked up to Starlight and told her that every night the genus Draco flew out and searched for Starlight who was the oddment unicorn. The calculus treasured all the unicorns. Starlight announced that she would try to defeat the potassium bitartrate. This made all the unicorns frightened for her. Starlight did not think there was anything to discharge. The tophus would not kill her for he cute all the unicorns. If she defeated the genus Draco they could all go free, if the tartar defeated her at least(prenominal) she could live in this valley with the other unicorns. Starlight confineed hidden in the group of trees for many days and only came out at night when the firedrake was gone.

She had conditioned a little more about the firedrakes power, she now knew that he could not put anything under its power unless it was in the flying lizards talons. After many days of secretiveness she had formed a plan. Starlight had learned that the potassium hydrogen tartrate counted its unicorns every night. She planned to emerge from her hiding place when it finished find and was just about to leave for its cave. She would whinny, buck, and jump, to get the potassium bitartrates attention. Starlight decided she would try her plan tomorrow night. That night all of the unicorns were very nervous, they were afraid for Starlights safety. Starlight was reassured that her plan would work. The unicorns waited quiet for the flying lizard to swoop down and count them conservatively. Finally its roar and the beating of its wings could be heard as it landed on the ground. The dragon slowly and carefully counted each unicorn then growled with joy that they were all there. Just as it was about to fly substantiate to its cave, the dragon spotted Starlight running and jumping out of a group of trees. The dragon did not remember counting this unicorn. The dragon was sure it had not counted incorrectly, it had captured exactly five hundred cardinal nine of the unicorns on Elysia, and it call for one more unicorn to lay down them all. It quickly counted again and found it had been correct the first time. The dragon soon realized this was the last unicorn, the one it had spent many nights searching for. The dragon beat its wings and bloom into the air travel. It flew over to Starlight and reached its talons toward her, Starlight dodged just in time. Starlight turned and fled. Starlight galloped about the meadow with the dragon right can her. She intended to lead it about until the sun arisebush so she could see easily and to tire it out. The sun had begun to rise when the dragon landed to count its unicorns and now it sat low in the sky giving off all the light Starlight would need. Starlight turned and headed for the edge where the waves crashed wildly. The dragon was right goat her. When Starlight reached the beach she turned to breast the dragon and lower her head, which put her in a perfect labouring position. The dragon was more frightening then Starlight had imagined, it was a capacious nut as black as night, with huge leather like wings. Starlight attempt to hide her vexation. She charged straight at the dragon, which take aback it and made it move backwards. The dragon angry at his tending of the tiny little unicorn came forward snarling and growling. Starlight was bear ond to move backwards. Starlight reared up and shock the dragon once again, which travel it back. She walked forward undulate her head about paltry the dragon back. The dragon would not so easily be coerce back and thinned at Starlight, which gave her a execrable blow. Starlight was knocked to the ground. Starlight lay unconscious, the dragon leaned over her and flicked its tail in happiness. Its tail was lying in the peeing and splashed a small wave of water onto Starlight. Starlight subject her eyes and lifted her head, she quickly remembered where she was and leapt to her feat, ready to fight again. The dragon quickly advanced forward and oblige Starlight to move back toward the sea. Starlight then realized what the dragon intended to do. It planned to force Starlight as far back into the sea without drowning her as it could, then when she had nowhere else to go it would grab her in its talons and take her back to the meadow.                   Starlight made a brass jump forward hoping the dragon would move back. Luckily the dragon jumped back just far enough so the unicorn could land. Then it began roaring, growling, and slashing with its humongous talons. Starlight was galvanize by this sudden outburst and moved back quickly. The dragon continued forcing the unicorn back. Sometimes it would stretch out its neck and relish at the unicorn. The dragon forced Starlight back into the sea until she could feel the cool ocean water washing over her hooves. The dragon forced her further back and the cold water began to shit Starlight shiver. As the dragon moved in Starlight realized she powerfulness not be able to escape. Then a plan came to her. Starlight stepped back into the sea make the dragon believe she had veritable defeat. The dragon flapped its wings and lift into the air so it could scratch Starlight easily off the ground. Just as the dragon rose high enough Starlight ran underneath the dragon to the dry beach. The dragon was Starlight by her sudden feces and dropped straight back to the acres with a fall that made the land vibrate. Then it whirled about to face Starlight only to find she had taken her battle double-decker again and was forcing the dragon back into the sea. The dragon could find no weak spot in the unicorn where he could dart in and start to force the unicorn into the sea. The dragon was about to fly into the air and try to swoop down on the unicorn but then realized the unicorn could dart away and take cover in some nearby bushes or trees. The dragon could not lose the last unicorn now, not when it was so close to victory over it. The dragon stayed in the fight growling and slashing its talons act to scare the unicorn back. Its attacks failed, Starlight knew she had the dragon in a tight spot and was not about to give up. She would not give in to the complete terror that was screaming inside her. Starlight reared, jumped, neighed, and swished her head slowly forcing the dragon into the sea. The dragon was forced further and further back until it was about to be move off by the waves, then it opened its wings, stretched them out, and flapped into the air. The dragon had been defeated and would not fight anymore. It took one last look at Starlight, the unicorn that had taken away its victory, then flew off across the meadow taking one last look at its prized unicorns. Starlight watched it disappear over the hills, listening to its loud cries of defeat that rang out and echoed through the land. Then a strange sparkling dust fell off the other unicorns onto the ground. directly Starlight knew the dragons curse had been broken and the unicorns could withdraw to their home on Elysia. The unicorns pull together around Starlight and nuzzled her, danced about her, and talked to her. either of a sudden, the whinnying of unicorns could be heard, then around the corner of a tall hill thousands of unicorns came galloping out, all of them fleecy white, with golden tresses for a mane and tail, and a horn of the purest white. The unicorns galloped over to Starlight and the other unicorns of Elysia and told their story about being kidnapped from their yield country and brought to Elysia by the dragon. They asked if they could stay on the island of Elysia since they could not get home. Their postulation was quickly granted. All the unicorns now stood silently on the beach watching Starlight. Starlights cushioned sweet voice then rang out, permit us now return to our home on Elysia, we have been away for a very long time. With Starlight in the lead the unicorns trotted off into the deep forest. This time Starlight fairly flew through the tangle of trees and bushes that had once act to stop her way. This time, the forest seemed to be maneuver her, helping her along. It seemed like only a moment before Starlight and the other unicorns found themselves back in their home on Elysia. Here on Elysia the unicorns lived peacefully and happily for many years. The unicorns had neer been disturbed until now, and hopefully never will be again. The unicorns only wish to live a happy, peaceful flavour as most animals do. Remember, just because we do not see the unicorns, that does not mean they are not there.
