H is for ... Have Unicorns, Even in Black
Like dragons, I wanted to go back to fantasy’s roots and have unicorns in my stories. The unicorns are typical unicorns, white horse-like animals with golden or silver horns coming out from their head. They prefer the innocent and women, although men are known to have seen them. They live in Greymist Forest and use the forest’s mists to keep hidden from human eyes.
There is one unusual unicorn, though. A black one has befriended Umbria, a princess of Foxwick and Lady Death. Umbria is the only one in known Foxwick history to ride a unicorn.
What do you think of unicorns?
For some reason, I always think of that early Tom Cruise movie when I think of unicorns. Was it Legend? Now, I'll have to look that up online.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I'm concerned one can never have too many unicorns! Although I've never come across a black one.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a unicorn. I wish I were so privileged.
ReplyDeleteI want to be a magical unicorn in my next life! No, honestly, unicorns can be all that you want them to be.
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of stuff. I'll have to get your book!
ReplyDeleteOh, a black unicorn? I always tend to picture them in white. I'll have to start thinking otherwise!
ReplyDeleteA black unicorn. That is awesome.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that North Korea released a news story that there's a cave in their country believed to be the home of an ancient unicorn? They did this to make a connection in the minds of the people that their ruler is sent from god and that they have a manifest destiny to rule the whole peninsula.
ReplyDeleteA black one is very cool. My favorite color! Is there a matching black dragon?
ReplyDeleteA black unicorn? Now that is different! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a black unicorn. Such a cool image.
ReplyDeleteUnicorns are awesome! (My sister is an especially big fan of them.) I think it's so cool how you have some in Foxwick, including a black one! :)
ReplyDeleteThey're dangerous! Don't trust them!
ReplyDeleteUnicorns never did much for me, but a pegasus - totally in my mythological wish list.
ReplyDeleteSince I will probably see a unicorn only in my imagination, I would make him shimmery white like mother-of-pearl with a golden horn. And blue eyes :)
ReplyDeleteI was always a unicorn fan when I was little and still am. A favorite book of mine is called "Black Unicorn" by Tanith Lee.
ReplyDeleteI have the Book of the Unicorn in my Grand Library. And Mother Dragon has a collection of unicorns in her treasure chamber. We don't hold grudges.
ReplyDeleteOh, love unicorns! Magical!
ReplyDeleteNas
I adore unicorns. And the black one sounds absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi, cherie,
ReplyDeleteYou picked my all time favorite mystical creature! I can only imagine how spectacular a black unicorn would be....
Why do the ladies have all the luck? Lol.
Wondrous to think of! :D
ReplyDeleteI love Unicorns. I used to collect them but we moved so many times that I lost a few of my statues and just have 9 of them left.
