She had in her possession An ancient artifact An ebony dagger Of unknown origin When she saw the unicorn She knew She held his head And gazed into his eyes You know, whispered the warrior You know what to do And she ran to get the dagger From its resting place In her eager anticipation To fulfill her lifelong dream She slipped upon the meadow green And plunged the dagger deep The unicorn dropped to his knees His eyes on the Ladys' face I canna help you, the warrior cried It is you who must do this deed You have been strong so long my Lady Be strong once more for me And she rose from blood stained grass To pull the dagger free Blood flowed free As she stumbled to his side And with the last of her strength Fit the dagger to his broken horn And as she lay there dying He became whole Wonderous in his beauty Glorious in his strength With the warrior kneeling at her side She drew her last trembling breath I love you, she whispered Then the light faded from her eyes But theres magic in a unicorn horn And a debt to be repaid He came to stand beside her And gently blew upon her face And with a touch of ebony horn He gave her back What she had given him Forever in her heart...a unicorn horn |

Paula, this is a wonderful enchanted trilogy you've written here. Oh wow, this is utterly delightful, and you are so great at writing these. You really are love. I love it, I really truly do. If only I could get my knights to do something except play the fool. (Ah well, I suppose everyone could do with a smile, but I want romance!) Beautifully done love Take care Mushy  < !signature-->Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 11-27-2000).] |
