As I soar over my beloved land, I feel great sadness come upon me. This... I think... Is why I left.

Trash covers the land like a blanket, pollution fills the sky. It makes me sick. If I wasn't so loyal, I might have abandoned them all together. But I didn't.

The closer I get to the city, the worse it is. I feel endlessly queasy. I almost fell from the sky! I wonder what the humans would make of me. Would anyone remember the legends?

I eventually find what I'm looking for. The Castle of Heroes. I feel even more dizzy when I look upon the disarray the humans have left it in.

It is covered in vines, and the walls are crumbling, yet, as I look at my birth place, I can see past the ruins. I remember everything that happened there, as though it were only yesterday.

It was a mystical day,

that day the Unicorn was born.

A beautiful horse, carved from pearl,

and on her head, she were a crown-like horn.

She had no wings, yet she could fly.

Enemies watched her in wonder, 

Until she bit off there head.

I shook my head a bit at that last part. I wouldn't eat someone's head, unless they took the last slice of cake! And no one is evil enough to do that. Man, those bards.

But even as I thought this, I remembered how different this world was

I sighed, as I landed by my home. I could feel the land tremble beneath my hooves. It beckoned me to return to its nest.

Yet I must fight that urge. I thought, braver than I felt.

Once I meet with my Mother, everything will be alright.

I marched into the ruin, holding my head high as darkness enveloped me. At long last, it was time to reunite with my family.
