Sohalia Lumaris
Sohalia all but held her breath after getting El's attention, her eyes fixed on the pearlescent sheen of the unicorn's coat and the two horns protruding from its graceful head. She'd seen unicorns before, but never like this. Never in the wild. Never free. There was something about it that was almost magical, as though if she moved too suddenly or breathed too hard, she might banish the creature back into the depths of her imagination, never to be seen again.
She remembered how the unicorns had acted when she'd come across Morgen's herd, playful and excitable; she thought of how the Celestine unicorns had been, hungry and opinionated. This unicorn was nothing like that. It brought with it a sense of calm and serenity that Soh rarely felt, for all her good moods and cheer. For a blessed few moments, she felt entirely at peace.
Soh said nothing to El's revelation; what was there, after all, to say? Instead, the young woman carefully flipped to the next page in her journal, picked up her pencil, and began an new drawing. This time, her pencil flew across the paper, capturing as much as she could as quickly as she could, for who knew how long the unicorn would stay, unbothered by their presence?
