Purity.

[yaoiunicorn]

In the darkness of the night,a beast moves gracefully through the forest.His pale coat shining in the moon light.He can't stop for rest,for the hunters follow behind.Bows and arrows ready to to strike him dead.As he trots swiftly through the brush, he looks back to see how far ahead he is.

To his relief,he seems to have out run the men on horses.In spite of his white coat,he blends in perfectly in the thicket.

"Foolish creatures."He says to him self as he continues through the forest and up the mountains.Did they honestly think he would just lie in that girls arms and let them kill him?

The men had set up a young innocent maiden to lure him out.As a beast that brought fertility and faith,he had to at least let the girl see him,So she could be blessed.He should have known better.Few humans really cared about virtue or grace.All they wanted was his horn.The thing that gave him his blessed power.

A unicorns horn could be a cure all or a poison.It could take life and it could give it.Sometimes it could even bring back the dead.To others that is.His immortality was far from infinite.He could still be killed by a well placed spear,arrow,or knife.

As he slowed to a stop,he looked back and saw the men retreating to their village.

"Hmph.Good."He said as he walked toward a pond to get a drink.

He was truly a sight to behold.His long horn protruding from his forehead.pale blue eye's covered by thick white lashes.his beard lightly touching the water.He was truly beautiful.

(Hi! may I join?)

[yaoiunicorn]

By all means please do:)

[Bramblemask973]

(Alrighty, Thanks! I'll use Zariya.)

{I take it they were chasing you too.}

A voice came from nowhere, and yet everywhere. It sounded only in the other Unicorn's mind. The source stepped out of the trees. She was a small black mare, with a purple horn and bright, pupilless aqua eyes. White stripes littered her body here and there. Her eyes seemed peaceful and yet strange. She was stressed somwhow.

[yaoiunicorn]

The white stallion turned to face her with a disinterested look in his eyes.Seemingly oblivious to her distress.

"Yes.What do you want?"He asked coldly Looking back into the water.

[Bramblemask973]

{Help.} was all she replied. She didn't go out farther than her shoulders. She was confused, too. Why was he so... mean? Sure, They had been chasing him, but why was he so cold and grumpy? He wasn't so bad.

[yaoiunicorn]

The white stallion turned his head a little to give her a quick look over.She seemed troubled.
"Hmph.You'll have to be more specific than that mare.I'm in no mood to play guessing game's right now." He said with a scowl.

[Bramblemask973]

She was about to reply again when a faint yell came from the direction that he had just come from. She turned quickly to him, panicked slightly. {Listen, Your white coat is far too visible here. you have to go. Follow the stream, and you'll find a grove past the second birch. Go there. Hide in the cave or the bushes until they've passed. But be careful, they have traps set all over the place. They'll catch your leg and it's nearly impossible to get out of until the humans come. Go!}

[yaoiunicorn]

The white stallion's ears turned in the direction of the yell.Where they still chasing them?He listened to the mare's instructions calmly.Her voice seemed unusual to him,as though it was an echo.More so unusual was her lack of a mouth.He wasn't sure he should trust her.

Just then, the yells began getting closer.He decided now was not the time to argue and started running in the direction she told him.He long tail and beard flowing in the wind as he galloped away.

[Bramblemask973]

The mare watched him go and then backed into the bushes. She didn't run, but tried to hide herself in the dark bushes. She knew there was barely any use. The humans would find her. They always knew. Their dogs found anything. The unicorn mare laid down on the grass, slowing and quieting her breath.

[yaoiunicorn]

As the stallion ran he looked behind him and noticed the mare was simply laying there in the bushes."What on earth is she doing!?They'll be sure to find her like that."He thought as he suddenly turned back and ran towards her.As he jumped a bush in front of him and landed beside her,He threw an angry look at her."Have you lost your mind?!"He asked."This is no game of hide and seek.If they find you they'll kill you."

[Bramblemask973]

The mare looked up and flattened her ears. {I can't.} Her voice echoed into his head. {How do you think I knew that there were traps around?} She drew out a hind leg from where it was hidden in the grass. A claw-like thing was snatched onto it, just above her ankle. A dried stream of blood ran from it, but otherwise it wasn't injured. {I've tried and tried. It doesn't work.}

[yaoiunicorn]

The stallion looked down at her leg and saw why she couldn't run."....Tch..Figures a mare would get caught.This is exactly why I prefer stallions-"Just then,he was interrupted by a dog rushing from the bushes.As it jumped with it's fangs bared,he thrust his horn through the dogs chest,blood gushing from the whining hound.As he threw the dogs body off his head another went to bite at his back leg.Bad move.

He raised his hoof and kicked the other dog square in the face,Sending it flying a few feet behind him.Before it could get back up,he ran over to it and slammed his front hooves down on its scull.Making a resounding cracking noise.

He heard the others heading towards them and turned to the mare.He pulled her leg out with his mouth and then stuck his horn between the traps teeth,angling his head as he pried the trap open."Quickly,pull your leg out!"He ordered in a firm voice.

[Bramblemask973]

The mare pulled hard and with a grunt, her leg came free. She got up quickly and bolted out of the bushes. Seconds later she shot back in and out the other side. {Wrong way!}

[yaoiunicorn]

The stallion watched as she head off in the wrong direction and then back in the right.He shook his head in disbelief at the mare and then ran to catch up.As they weaved their way through the forest, he looked back and saw a pack of at least 6 dogs chasing them.Just when he thought it couldn't get any worse,he saw a dead end.

"Perfect."He said in anger.As he stopped to look around for a way out,a snapping metal sound echoed through the forest.Followed by the sound of a dogs pained yelp.They must have stepped it one of their own traps.Good.

"Listen."He said as he turned to the mare."They've stepped into their own minefield.That should buy us some time.See if you can find away over this cliff."He said as he looked over the wall.
