[PiE] Medieval Magic Part 2

>Unicorns are just legend!
>Is this a joke?
>It's a terrible one if so.
>You kneel down and move the horn to see if it slides off.
>It is cold to the touch and moves the head when you push it.
>You put your fingers on its neck to see if it is alive.
>A light pulse is felt and you smile.
>It's not injured.
>Just then, a growl is heard from deeper in the forest.
>Not wasting any time, you lean down and scoop the unicorn up into your arms.
>After standing, you start walking down the pond to the small cave at the end of it.
>Once you reach it, you lay the unicorn down on the cavern floor.
>This should keep it safe for the night.
>Just then, it shivers a little bit.
>You look over at it.
>It shivers again and you can hear its teeth chattering.
>Well now that you think about it, it is pretty cold in here.
>You remove your shirt and slide the unicorn closer to you.
>As you do this, its legs open.
>Alright, you know it's female.
>Taking her in your arms, you wrap her in your shirt.
>It fits her like a blanket.
>A light smile seems to appear on her face once she feels the warmth.
>This creature sure is a strange one.
>Her eyes slowly start to open.
>She looks at you and blinks a few times.
>Then her pupils shrink to pinpricks and she opens her mouth, letting out a human-like scream.
>"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
>In sheer terror, you follow suit.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
>You both stop once realizing that you've been screaming at each other.
>She scrambles off of you and scoots away.
>"Who are you?!"
"What art thou?!"
>She blinks a few times.
>"Can you understand me?"
>You nod.
"How..."
>She shakes her head lightly.
>"I don't know... I must have made a terrible mistake when casting that teleportation spell."
>Casting spells?
>So she can use magic.
>It's just like in the legend.
>This must be some kind of dream.
>"Do you know what region of Equestria this is?"
"Equestria?"
>She gulps.
>"I guess that's out of the question."
>She then is silent and her face shows that of deep thought.
>After looking around for a few seconds, she stares back at you.
>"Where are we?"
"This is King Lancelot the third's land."
>She gasps.
>"I've never heard of that..."
>As she looks around trying to understand what is happening, you ask again.
"What art thou?"
>"Huh? Me? I'm a unicorn from Ponyville."
"Ponyville?"
>She nods.
>"Yes, Ponyville. It's a small town in Equestria."
>You shake your head to imply that you haven't the slightest idea of what she's talking about.
>"Darn... Well, we can figure that out later. But first..."
>She nears you, her eyes scanning you curiously.
>"I didn't know there were other things like you."
"What dost thou mean 'like you' ?"
>She backs up a tiny bit in defense.
>"I-I meant nothing by it, I just mean that I've never seen another one of you... What are you again?"
"A human?"
>She nods her head.
>"Yes! That's what it was. Is this where the humans live?"
"Yes, but-"
>"Could I see them?"
"Methinks it not be a good-"
>"I'd sure love to see how they interact and learn some more from-"
"Wench, halt thy interruptions!"
>She stops talking and looks a little bit scared.
"Apologies, but methinks it not be a good idea to see them. Many a folk might become hysterical once seeing a mythical creature such as yourself."
>She looks confused as she asks.
>"I'm a mythical creature here?"
"Aye, the unicorn."
>She shakes her head and looks around at the cave.
>"That's really strange... So this is a kingdom?"
"'Tis a cave."
>After looking around, she sits down and lets out a deep sigh.
>"You seem nice. Is it okay if I stay with you until I find out how to get back home?"
>This mythical being has just come into this world and wants to stay with you of all people.
>As you are about to explain to her why you cannot, her pupils begin to grow wide and her lip puckers.
"M-Methinks thy-"
>"Are you just going to leave me alone in this world I don't know?"
>You stand.
"Halt thy persuasive eyes. I've a blacksmith through the brush, let us go thither."
>She stands and stops giving you that look.
>"Thank you."
>Nod to her.
>Then put your shirt back on.
>Exiting the cave with the purple unicorn, you look both ways to make sure no one can see you.
>Once sure you're safe to go, you wave her to you and walk toward the bushes.
>Moving quickly, you make it to the back of your house.
>"Is this it?"
>Pursing your lips and putting a finger to them, you shush her.
>She nods and whispers an apology.
>Walk closer to the house and open the back door, waving your arm to tell her to go inside.
>She walks inside and you close the door behind you.
>She walks over to the wall of pots and pans.
>"So this is your house?"
"Aye."
>Walking past her, you go to the front of the shop and slide the heavy door shut.
>Hopefully you'll be able to move it tomorrow, but it would be terrible for anyone to see this creature here.
>Once you've made sure no one can see inside, you walk over to the corner and pick up the cloth there.
>The unicorn watches as you lay down on the small pile of hay.
>"Is that where you sleep?"
"Aye, only the royals be rich enough to buy a bed."
>She nods.
>Then she shivers a bit.
>"So um..."
>She comes closer.
>"Should I sleep here?"
>She asks as she sits down next to the pile of hay.
>You push some out from under you and she lays on top of it.
>"Thanks.
>Nod to her.
"When you awake, wake me up."
>She nods.
>You shift under the cloth in an attempt to get warm.
>The unicorn scoots over to your chest, her fur warming up the inside of the cloth.
>You do not fight the action, simply turn away from her and accept the warmth.
>The both of you lay under the covers facing away from each other.
>She whispers.
>"I never caught your name."
"It's Anonymous."
>"I'm Twilight Sparkle."
>You let out a yawn.
"Goodnight Miss Sparkle."
>"Please, call me Twilight."
>Saying nothing, you begin sleeping.
