Before the unicorn would pull back its head completely, it paused, waited, considered.
This soul had risked its life for her without thought or hesitation. Had lost skin and bone and blood, enduring the pain with ease, taking her healing as an afterthought rather than demanding it.
Something inside of her body trickled, eased, decided.
Like a breath of ash and flame made whole and light and balanced, the unicorn's soul submitted to the reapers, melding against it as her velvety muzzle pressed into his palm. He smelled of death and dirt, but there was a world inside of his heart that was now opened to her. Fields of memory, a life unlived, a king of ice who nonetheless burned with vivacity. A field that she too was present in.
Congratulations! Heather has used her MP to buy a unicorn companion for Deimos!
