Part 21. Heart of a Unicorn

Kaija sat near crystal water of the lake. She was walking deep through the thoughts of her own and didn’t notice Haave sitting behind her back.

She didn’t want to talk to anyone. Such dream moment of silence were the greatest pleasure, especially on sundown. Kaija looked at the setting sun. Red rays painted white clouds with blood of dying horizon.
Silence covered the wood and the lake. Sometimes they could hear evening songs of the birds far away. Calm wind whispered to her with its frozen melody of coming night. Last days of November were short and faded so fast…

— Don’t you want to know about your shadow? — asked he looking at the horizon.
— Why? Is there anything special about it? — replied she still thinking about things of her own.
— Some very special points, yes. You would like to know them all, I assume.

She slowly turned her head and looked at him. His eyes were burning with curiosity and desire to share precious information with her.

— Go ahead. — sighed she understanding that anyway she would hear that.
— You are the purest creature in Shadow world. And your blood is very precious for the lowest creatures like Dreamcatchers and Soulhaunters. But they are not the greatest danger for you while you have your dear friend-wolf by your side.
— I know this, he told me that. Is there anything.. hm, more serious about being the purest shade creature? — asked she looking in his eyes. — Remember I can read your thoughts. Much deeper than you think. I train all the time.
— Don’t worry. I know. You’re growing.I remember you since you were a little girl. You’re getting stronger, I feel this. You are right, there is one thing you should know. The Unicorns are very special creatures. They can give immortality to other creatures. Through their blood. Let one drink it and he/she will be immortal. Exactly like you.
