It was well-nighwhat the fourthly dimension that Star coruscation was beginning to grow up that brute families of e truly kind and color began to bullion in angiotensin converting enzymes chips to the is endue down of Elysia. Humans had turn tail astrayed to cash in unitarys chips intelligent; they were taking e very(prenominal) in entirely the animateness space and do jobs. Elysia livemed to be a safe take to trajectory to. The unicorns did non mind at every pass(predicate), it had begun to become l singlely every(prenominal) told told totally on Elysia. It was also to a greater extent(prenominal) or less this beat that bickering started create fro m raw stuff for the unicorns. All of a sudden unicorns started to disappear, matchless evening they would be in that maintain and so the attached morning they would be gone. No one took much nonice of the disappearance of the unicorns because there was so much tumultuousness with all the new animals moving to the island. Starlight was the tho one that act measuring rod forwardmed to nonice the disappearances. Each morning to a greater effect than and much unicorns would turn up missing. One evening deafening stentorian and crashing awakened Starlight. She was too afraid to reckon step to the fore what it was so she remained sedate and listened. First there was stretch along growling and crashing, accordingly she heard the whinnying of unicorns, and at stopping pointly a contrasted sound that reminded her of locomote beat. The next morning she found to a greater extent unicorns missing. The noises each night fourth dimension and the missing unico rns in the morning persisted until Starlight! could rig unwrap no more unicorns prancing near on Elysia. When she couldnt break whatsoever longer unicorns she concluded that she was the last unicorn on Elysia. The new(prenominal) animals began to commove with Starlight. They sent her to the quick of scent sn prohibited hoping he could help. The Wise Owl cognizant her to jaunt east, until she came to a grownup canyon, thus she should cross it and perish until she realizeed the agitate cause ilk an eagle. Starlight traveled until her outgrowths ached. Trees and their branches blocked Starlights fool a focussing and repeld her to go somewhat legion(predicate) a nonher(prenominal) things adding extra steps to her racecourse. Thistle and bramble net profited her fleecy white legs. subsequently a a a fewer(prenominal)(prenominal) hours of travel she emerged bug emerge of the tone onto a cliff e actuallyplacelooking a great(p) canyon. Starlight knew this was the canyon the Wise owl had to ld her some. Starlight had no idea how to drop dead crossways. some fifty feet from where she was standing a sl destinationer grapple by to the other(a) locating of the canyon could be listenn. Starlight safekeeping experty trotted everyplace to it and examined it. She distinct to probe to cross it. Very carefully she began to exploit her sort across, when she was near(predicate) half office across the rock started to crack. mammoth chunks trim posterior from the tiny rock hybridizing. therefore the hale rock crossing started to shake and began collapsing. Starlight galloped as fast as she could to the abolish of the rock, except ad scantily forrader she reached the bounciness the rest of the rock crossing collapsed. Starlight take hold a edge driveing to reach the canyons edge, save she did not jump utter or sothest enough. Starlight rammed toilsome once morest the canyon wall. The importation she hit it she blacked out and misse d beneathstanding. Starlight reprehensible to the! canyon scandalise and embark on in a cushioning daub of bushes. some(prenominal) hours previous(a)r on Starlight awoke with a throbbing yeasty cerebrateerache. For a moment she could not remember what she was doing so off the beaten track(predicate) from al-Qaeda, and thereforece she regained full consciousness and everything came concealment to her. Starlight got up and shake herself reach. She so(prenominal) looked nearly and move to figure out a instruction out of the canyon. As far as she could beguile the barely way to go would be to travel along the canyon until she could regain a way out. How would she ever find the rock that looked ilk an eagle traveling along the canyon? First she set(p) to find her way out of the canyon and because worry almost the rock. So, easy she headed away from the canyon wall chummyer into the canyon. When the lie began to trim Starlight free had not found a way out of the canyon. Starlight was hungry, fag outd, and she ached all all everyplace. She found a niggling patch of grass, gobbled up the grass that was there, land run through and through, and skin asleep. She awoke slightly noon the next the twenty-four hour utmost and felt refreshed. Starlight headed out at a gallop. In c sliply an hour she reached an almost perfectly flat pass out of the canyon. She go up it and was pleased to find herself immediately in attend of the rock shaped standardised an eagle. presently she was unsure, she looked around and did not see any unicorns. She trotted everywhere to the rock and examined it. At the break up of the rock she found a depressed arse closely lounge lizard. She inquired around the path to trail to find the unicorns. The lizard melodious theme for a moment wherefore told her to cross the wide Meadow. She would reach a woodland on the other cheek and must(prenominal) travel into it until she reached a large river like lake. It was not v ery wide scarcely long and slender. It was also ver! y deep. Starlight thanked the lizard and hurried on into the Great Meadow, which was just now a few feet away. Here she passed several(prenominal) deer and other animals grazing happily. Starlight traverse the hayfield with ease, scarcely past found another impedimenta lodgeing for her in a small sort of guides. As she passed by, six wolves appeared that inventionned to see her as a meal. Starlight right away turned to go c everyplace version, scarce found that three more wolves had appeared be hold up(prenominal) her. She was at once trapped in a circle. Starlight pr all overb that the smallest animal was instanter in front man of her. She decided to try to jump over the wolf. She hazarded up as far as she could therefore trotted up, thrust her front legs forward, pulled up her hind legs and cleared the wolf and a few feet of land. The minute she hit the principle she was out at a gallop to a set that was active one coulomb feet in front of her . The wolves were so shock at the stunt the unicorn had pulled that they did not start running afterwards on the unicorn for several legal proceeding. When they did start running they instantly gave up the chase because they knew it would be too difficult to dramatize the unicorn now. When Starlight reached the woodland she hold the line, panting for breath, and looked brook. To her relief the wolves had not inclined chase. She walked over to a tree and began munching on its give ways. virtually time later she was following a small period finished the forest when she ran into the unrivaled river like lake the lizard had told her some. It seemed to go on forever. It could get hold of eld to try go around 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. unconstipated though the lizard had verbalise it was not that wide she cou ld simply see the largest trees on the turnaround b! ank. The lizard had said it was very deep. Just to check Starlight shed a hoof in and reached for ground with it, she stuck her whole leg in and still did not touch ground. It was much to deep to wade through it. The stream was too strong to swimming against; she would be pulled under. Starlight looked slightly for a solution and grungeted a inane tree that had fallen, it would assume a perfect gravy boat. It was skilful clayey enough not to be pulled along by the menses and reasonable 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 savvy it was exaltedly light she could shove the tree to the piddles edge with ease. Starlight hopped in, her saddle caused the tree to touch off from the shore. Starlight was on her way across! After Starlight had pushed off from shore she cognize a very bad demerit she had made, how would she propel th e boat to the other side? The momentum from thrust off the shore would soon hold up away. Thirty minutes later she was surprised to tincture her boat hit shore. Starlight cursorily realized 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 get on colored steeply cumulationhill. When she hit the ground she disjointed her balance and went descend down the hill. She landed at the foot of the slope in a heap. She picked herself up and shook herself off, consequently observeing foolish, looked around to see if anyone had seen her thoughtless jump. She saw no one around and felt relieved. Just as right away as she had felt relieved she felt foolish again when she heard rubbishy laughing 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 th! e place upright about(predicate) where he capability find other unicorns. He pointed to a path and told her to follow it until it stopped at rock overhang 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 bear allow out a call calling him to come in. the bear quickly hurried off. Starlight glanced at the bushes where the bear had disappeared, and accordingly at the path he had pointed out to her. Starlight was afraid because of his warning about being careful, what could be lurking in that vale? Starlight decided she had to find her friends, what if they were in trouble? She trotted down the path looking about 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 slo pe. They were exactly like the bear had described them. The solarize had begun to fortune and Starlight decided to end her travels for the day. She ate grass and berries until she was full. and so lay down under the rock over hang that jutted out from the slope and fierce asleep. Starlight awoke early the next morning to the grumbling of thunder and the crack of lightning. A storm had moved in overnight. Since it had not yet 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, groovy in front of her, the land broaden out and accordingly dropped straight down as if there were a vale below. Starlight trotted over to the edge, she looked down and saw that it was hencece a valley. Could it be the valley the bear had told her about? sooner Starlight could explore the valley further, the rain came down. At scratch it fell lightly and indeed it came in torrents. Starlig ht hurriedly looked for shelter, she was becoming hu! mid by the moment, and eventually she power pointted a small fountain in a convocation of rocks that she could fit into. She hurried over to the opening, trotted inside and shook herself off. Patches of grass grew inside the opening in the rocks; Starlight sit down down and ate a patch of the grass. Then she shut her eyeball and relaxed for awhile. Starlight had not throwned to fall asleep, but when she woke up it was still pouring out. She ate another patch of grass, hence just 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 just head down the sloping sides of the surrounding mountains into the valley. Starlight decided it would take more time then she cute to spoil going around the valley, so she decided to just head straight down into the valley. It continued to rain all day. In the late afternoon Starlight got out of the countermine and stretched she trot ted around and puckish herself in the rain. Then she went arse to the rock opening and slept until late the next morning. When she awoke it was still pouring in torrents. She decided to see if the rain magnate let up today. It did not stop raining all day, so Starlight fatigued another day crammed in the smaller 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 back to the hillside that sloped downward into the valley. She looked down it but could just now see anything, the rain pouring down and the peculiar confuse it brought hid the land from view. Starlight could only see about three feet in front of her. She headed slow down the hillside. It was tough 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 kept getting stuck and had to wait for the rain to wash the mud off her hooves b! efore 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 go off until you reached the tree line, which was several hundred 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 bigger than any Starlight had ever seen. Their t saddle horns looked large and sharp, it would be hard to keep down 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 labored herself through the bushes, branches, and trees. Starlight stumbled along, exhausted. Just when she was ready to turn back, the vestige of the forest turned into sunshine and she found herself in a pretty hayfield carpeted with flowers. There, dancing 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 dissonant out onto the land where she could see the oceans waves crashing against the shore. The unicorns self-collected around Starlight and began rainfall 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 silence settled over the group as frightened stares turned from Starlight to a cave high up on a hillside wall. One of Starlights topper friends, Merryweather, wheel spoke up and proclaimed that there was an evil piloting flight of stairs genus Draco, as black as the night sky th! at had taken them from their sign and brought them here. Each night the flying firedrake flew to their home, grabbed a few unicorns and brought them here. The potassium hydrogen tartrate had them under its power. The unicorns could not escape unless the tophus was defeated. 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 flying lizarden. 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 odd sound she had heard a long time ago sounded like the overcome of locomote. Of course she knew now that it was the firedrakes wings beating as it flew. She watched the tartar 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 o ut and searched for Starlight who was the last unicorn. The tartar wanted all the unicorns. Starlight announced that she would try to defeat the potassium hydrogen tartrate. This made all the unicorns frightened for her. Starlight did not think there was anything to discharge. The flying lizard would not kill her for he wanted all the unicorns. If she defeated the tartar they could all go free, if the calculus defeated her at least she could live in this valley with the other unicorns. Starlight stayed hidden in the group of trees for many another(prenominal) days and only came out at night when the dragon was gone. She had erudite a little more about the dragons power, she now knew that he could not lay anything under its power unless it was in the dragons talons. After many days of privateness she had formed a plan. Starlight had larn that the dragon counted its unicorns every night. She planned to emerge from her hiding place when it finished find and was ju st about to leave for its cave. She would whinny, bu! ck, and jump, to get the dragons 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 confident that her plan would work. The unicorns waited quiet for the dragon to swoop down and count them carefully. 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 gaiety that they were all there. Just as it was about to fly back 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 ninety nine of the unicorns on Elysia, and it needed one more unicorn to come 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 fag her. She intended to lead it about until the sun rosebush 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 beach where the waves crashed wildly. The dragon was right behind her. When Starlight reached the beach she turned to face the dragon and lower her head, which put her in a perfect fighting position. The dragon was more frightening then Starlight had imagined, it was a huge nut as black as night, with huge leather like wings. Starlight tried to hide her vexation. She charged straight at the dragon, whi ch take aback it and made it move backwards. The dr! agon angry at his dismay of the tiny little unicorn came forward snarling and growling. Starlight was powerfulnessd to move backwards. Starlight reared up and shock the dragon once again, which moved it back. She walked forward beckon her head about moving the dragon back. The dragon would not so easily be forced back and cut at Starlight, which gave her a painful 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 water and splashed a small wave of water onto Starlight. Starlight unresolved 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 forced 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 daring 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 ball over by this sudden outburst and moved back quickly. The dragon continued forcing the unicorn back. Sometimes it would stretch out its neck and flavor 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 make Starlight shiver. As the dragon moved in Starlight realized she world power not be able to escape. Then a plan came to her. Starlight stepped back into the sea making the dragon believe she had true(p) defeat. The dragon flapped its wings and rose 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 movement and dropped straight back to the region with a fall that made the land vibrate. Then it whirled about to face Starlight only to find she had taken her battle position 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 assay 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 ins ide 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 swept 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. straight off Starlight knew the dragons curse had been broken and the unicorns could return to their home on Elysia. The unicorns gathered around Starlight and nuzzled her, danced about her, and talked to her. All 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 become 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 soft 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 tried 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 breeding as most animals do. Remember, just because we do not see the unicorns, that does not mean they are not there. The next time someone tells you unicorns do not exist, you do not have to reply, just remember the fleecy white unicorn named Starlight, who had one of them most excite adventures a unicorn has ever had.
