Prompt: You are exploring a strange forest that was not on your map when you notice two sets of tracks in the ground. The first were hoof prints and by the looks of it whatever made these prints was running the next set are boot prints with a little marking in the center indicating and order assassin. You follow the tracks until you find the assassin he has tied up a unicorn and put a magic canceling ring around her horn, "any last words you foul b*tch" he says she just cries in fear of what is to come



Answer: I ready my bow and take careful aim. Letting the arrow fly it hit's the would-be assassin in the shoulder. Apparently my aim needs some work. He spins around and looks for me, my cloak give me some protection from his search, but he's well trained and spots me.

As he starts to run at me, I've got a second arrow notched, and drawn, waiting for my moment to fire. When he's only a few steps away I fire, leaping to the side afterwards. Rolling to my feet I turn to see him, grasping the arrow buried in his chest. He staggers towards me, coughing up blood. I ready my third arrow and strike him in the head, letting him drop to the ground with a 'thump.'

I walk over to the tied up unicorn, who's still cowering. I pull my knife and start to cut the ropes. Once she's free she gets up and embraces me.

"Thank you. Thank you so much. If you hadn't shown up he would've..." I smile for her and tell her to not mention it. Though I should probably accompany her to the nearest town, just to be safe.

"Oh, thank you, kind sir." She kisses me on the cheek. I have to warn her, I'm not good husband material for her. At her confused look I explain that I've been with others, intimately. A look of realisation comes across her face, and she lowers her head slightly.

"Oh..." I ask her name, giving mine first. "Evaline." I nod, and start to lead us, hopefully, towards a town.

<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once we get there I bid her farewell. Later that day I'm approached by Evaline again, a shy look on her face. I ask her what she's after.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Well, I... I just can't help it. Every time I think of you, I feel my heart flutter. Even knowing what will happen to me, should I be with you, I can't think of anyone else I'd rather be with. Please, I owe you my life, and I wish to let you have it." I give her a long look, asking if she's absolutely sure. There's no going back once the deed's done. She nods.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I've no doubt in my mind." With a sigh and a smile, I agree, but only after a year of travelling together. No less. She nods, happy.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">We travel, and her healing magic helps us more than once in that year. When it's finally done I look at her, and ask if she's still sure. She nods.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Yes. I'm more sure about it than ever." With a nod I kiss her, slowly removing her clothing. I take it slowly, and make sure she enjoys the night. When I wake in the morning I can't believe my eyes. She's still a unicorn. As her eyes open she smiles warmly at me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"What has you so wide eyed?" She asks sleepily, then remembers what happened last night. She looks down at herself, and is just as surprised as me. "How..." She looks back at me. "Didn't you say you lay with another monster?" I look at her, confused. I thought only the fact I lay with another woman was enough to cause the change. Her shock turns to joy as she embraces me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0cm;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">"It is the energy of another monster which changes my kind. Human women won't trigger the change." I take a moment, then embrace her too. So much worry for nothing. We harness our joy at this discovery to take another few bouts before leaving the inn.

<span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I never expected this to go so well.
