Chapter 13

Fleet didn’t like Yuma entering the bear’s cave alone—this was supposed to be his job—but at least the man had weapons. Hope­fully, as Yuma supposed, the guardian would be hibernating and the feathers easily retrieved.

Roaaarrr!

Fleet sprang to the cave entrance. He hesitated.

Hooves clattered behind him.

A mighty unicorn burst along the trail, fury belching from his nostrils. He charged, his lowered head pointing a horn like an ancient branch from a whitebark pine, twisted and knobbly. His crimson coat dripped with sweat, in stark contrast to his black mane and tail, crusted with icicles.

Fleet’s mind whirled. A horse with a twisted horn! Was this Shadow? But he was supposed to be trapped at Obsidian Caves. This equine had only one horn. That’s what unicorn meant. Or was it two twisted together?

Their bodies crashed, chest to chest.

Fleet pawed the air and screamed, his eyes rolling, showing the whites.

His assailant backed off, bunching for another attack.

Fleet charged.

They smashed together. Rocks tumbled from the hillside, pelting down like hailstones.

Fleet ignored them, all his attention on his adversary, far stronger than him.

They dodged and parried and dodged. Fleet ducked sideways to avoid the brutal horn before spinning and kicking out. As quick as he made contact, he leapt back and reared, thrashing his forelegs. His opponent met each onslaught with equal vigour, crashing his hooves against Fleet’s shoulders and rump.

Fleet feared for his life. Not the bloodwolf, the bog, or the scorcheel scared him like this.

He summoned his courage and fought back. He hadn’t come so far to fail now. He must get the feathers. He wouldn’t let Sapphire down. He reared and struck.

His enemy lashed back.

The contorted horn struck Fleet’s shoulder. A blast of pain coursed through his body. He stepped backwards towards the edge of the cliff. Stones clattered as his hooves scrambled. He teetered on the edge.
