THREE days later, the wound on Rylan's thigh had closed completely. Although it was still stiff and sore, Rylan could move his leg and even put his weight on it for short periods of time. With the freedom from debilitating pain came the need to shift, something he could not do in Thorin's company or in his home. Even if the man could accept it, Rylan's animal would not. In his other form, he could not bear any kind of confinement.

When Thorin went out to check on his animals, Rylan disrobed so he would not damage the clothes Thorin had lent him and slipped out into the woods. As soon as he could no longer hear the cackling of the hens the healer kept in a pen behind his house, Rylan changed, his body stretching and reforming to become the black unicorn that struck fear into the hearts of the villagers in the surrounding towns. He shook his head, ruffling his mane, the movement working its way down his body until he had stretched every muscle.

Taking a few tentative steps, he tested his injured leg, finding the muscle as sore in animal form as in human form, but not so much that he could not walk. His animal mind resented not being able to run, but even in equine form, he retained enough of his humanity to control the urge to ignore the pain and gallop through the woods toward home. He knew he should go back to Thorin's and take his leave properly, but the desire to find the solace of his own abode was nearly overwhelming. He turned his head back toward Thorin's cabin, and then regretfully began the long walk home.

An hour later, he was regretting his decision. His leg was throbbing, making it harder and harder to walk, and he still had some distance to travel. Furthermore, he could hear someone approaching. When he was well, he feared no one, but in his current state, he did not have the speed to defend himself should the need arise. There was nothing for it, though. He would have to face his tracker and hope for the best. Lowering his horn threateningly, he turned back and waited.

Thorin walked into the clearing where he stood.

The sight of his benefactor took Rylan's breath away. In his human form, he had come to know the man over the past few days, appreciating Thorin's gentle hands, his sharp wit, and his handsome face, but now, as a unicorn, he could sense so much more. He could sense the basic goodness at the heart of the man and the untouched innocence, which lured the unicorn like nothing else. He was not repelled by the sexual experience of those around him, but the unicorn inside him still felt the lure of the virgin. Especially when he already knew and cared about the virgin.

Slowly Rylan lifted his head so his horn pointed toward the sky rather than toward Thorin's chest, and waited to see what the man would do.
