The Power of Love

By Jeff Williams

In this land of beauty where the mountains touched the sky things were peaceful for a time. The trees were painted in many shades of green; the flowers were the colors of a rainbow.

This land was created for two magical creatures that had been placed upon the earth, two beautiful unicorns. But little did they know that a sacrifice would have to be made.

A snake crept though the grass toward the unicorns. The male unicorn had dark forest green eyes. His coat was tan and white. His eyes were gentle. His body had powerful muscles.

The large male unicorn did not notice the red and black snake. The snake struck and sank its fags deep into the unicorn's leg. The unicorn reared upward. The pain gleamed in his eyes.

The female unicorn was grazing in the field away from him; she looked up. She was a beautiful creature. Her blue eyes were hypnotizing. She had creamy peach colored skin and a light sunny mane that flowed in the wind.

She ran toward her mate. She was by his side when he fell to the ground.

The snake looked at her and hissed. He gave her a choice. "I will let you live in the land in return for your horns. If you refuse your friend will die."

The unicorn horn is magical and it hold all of the unicorns powers. The female unicorn looked down at her mate's weak dark green eyes with a compassion that will never die. She agreed to this in order to save her mate. This is why we never see unicorns today but that's how horse were created.
