Deep in the lush wilds of the Valois woods, in the exact center of the dense forest, sat a circular wattle-and-daub cottage with a low door to protect the inhabitants from charging marauders. A meadow thick with dandelion kites, the buzz of pollen-laden humble bees and gold coltsfoot blooms flourished twenty strides from the cottage.

In the center of the meadow stood a brilliant white stallion, its moonlit mane carefully twisted into witch braids and its tail protected from ill deeds with the same.

The beast lifted its head, pricking its ears. The very fabric of the universe had suddenly...sighed. And following that sigh fluttered a keening cry only the beast recognized. It snorted in recognition and twisted its head toward the sound. South. Toward the village with so many dwellings and many more people.

No Enchantment there. Save the one fragment of the beast for which it had been longing.

Soft white dandelion kites stirred into a fury as the stallion stepped into a cantor, and then a gallop. It sped toward the cottage where the fée man who had cared for him over the years stood with his arms about his mortal wife, both taking in the warmth from an evening bonfire.

Dominique San Juste startled out of the embrace at the pounding arrival of his equine companion. "What is it, Tor? Did a humble bee sting you on the flank?"

Tor bowed before the man, beckoning he mount his back.

"Looks like he wants to take you for a ride," the female said.

"Very well." Dominique slid onto Tor's back, his long black cape slipping across the stallion's hindquarters. "I—yeow!"

Tor took off. The faery's parting words to his wife were but bumpy gasps.

"I will return to you anon! Easy, Tor. What be the hurry?" And then the sensation of recognition was abruptly cut off. But the unicorn did not cease. He knew the direction he must journey to become whole.
