Unicorn and Fairy


A solitary hut stood in the midst of a huge meadow. Behind the hut, there was a huge dense forest. Beyond that forest, there were snow peaked mountains. Smoke was bellowing from the chimney of the hut. There was a small garden in front of the hut. Several kind of flowers bloomed in that small garden. Little birds were chirping in that garden. There was a small pond behind the hut full of lotus and lily. In that hut, an aged Fairy Godmother used to live with a beautiful young Fairy. The Fairy Godmother possessed a valuable enchanting potion named as “amour-propre”. That potion could make any one blind of their surroundings.

Every morning, Fairy Godmother used to feed her with juicy fruits from her little orchard and dew, collected from the blades of grass. Honeybees used to bring her honey every morning. Yet she felt that she was not happy. She felt a void in her tiny heart. She wanted to fly to the mountains.

The brown wooden window was open. The beautiful Fairy was looking outside the window. Her braid was of silver white in colour, as if those were woven from the soft rays of moon. Her lifeless huge wings painted with colours of rainbow and peacock. She was wearing a huge flowing blue silk gown with tiny silvery stars all over. Her dark big eyes were filled up with several queries. She was observing those birds. Weavers, nightingales, larks, sparrows and many others were chirping outside. She lost herself in those chirps.
All those birds were asking her “Come out Fairy, fly with us.”
She threw a small kiss to those birds and said to them---“I cannot fly. Fairy Godmother never taught me to fly.”
The birds fluttered their small wings and flew away saying that they were flying to those snow peaked mountains beyond the forest.

Every day the beautiful Fairy asked the Fairy Godmother---“Why don’t you teach me to fly?”
Every day the Fairy Godmother used to answer the same---“The world is full of terrible peoples and horrible creatures. I am here to protect you. Every day I savor you with succulent juicy fruits. Honeybees bring you honey. You won’t get these lavish goodies anywhere, Dear.”

Whenever the Fairy Godmother used to go out, she used to etch an enchanting circle around the house so that the beautiful Fairy could not run away. The Fairy was sad. She wanted to fly. She always dreamt of going to the mountains. She wanted to play in the snow. She wanted to dance in the soft rays of dawn. She wanted to sing along with the river.

On one dark new moon night, the crescent was above the top of the forest. The beautiful Fairy was looking outside the window, to the Prussian blue sky. Stars were twinkling on the huge curtain overhead. The fireflies were flying and the crickets were buzzing all around. She was humming a sweet tune and was nodding her head. Fairy Godmother was out for some work in the new moon. As usual, she etched the enchanting line around the periphery of the hut.

All of a sudden, the Fairy heard a faint sound. She was surprised and terrified to hear that sound. She looked around her, but she could not find anyone in the hut. She heard that knock again. The knock was coming from the door. She tip-toed to the door, with a porcelain vase in her hand. She opened the door and found a strong milky white Unicorn was standing there. She was surprised to see the Unicorn. She was terrified also. The Unicorn nodded his head and neighed gently. His neighs gave some assurance to the Fairy that he meant no harm to her. The Fairy stepped forward and gently caressed the neck of the Unicorn. The Unicorn neighed again and rubbed his face on the beautiful face of Fairy. The Fairy looked around the hut, but was unable to find anyone other than the Unicorn. She ushered the Unicorn inside the hut.

The Fairy asked the Unicorn---“Who are you? From where have you come?”
The Unicorn neighed again.
The Fairy could not understand anything.
She asked him ---“Are you hungry?”
The Unicorn nodded his head as if signing her that he was hungry.
The Fairy brought some fruits and fed it to the Unicorn. All the while she fed the Unicorn, she gently ruffled his manes and rubbed his neck.
She asked him---“Are you lost?”
The Unicorn nodded his head “Yes”.
She kissed the cheek of the Unicorn and said in her sweet voice---“Will you be my friend?”
The Unicorn nodded his head as he chewed the fruits “Yes.”
She threw her arms around the neck of the Unicorn and rubbed her cheeks on his---“Ok then, we are friends. Stay with me. Tomorrow morning when Godmother will arrive, she will weave a beautiful saddle for you. I will ride with you in the meadows. I will play with you.”
Suddenly her voice sounded gloom---“I am very alone, here. No one is there to play with me.”
The Unicorn nodded his head and rubbed his cheek on her head as if saying, “I am there with you.”

She asked the Unicorn to sleep at one corner and she closed her eyes beside the Unicorn over the silk mattress.

The twilight of the dawn reached the window of the hut and slowly flooded the room. Slowly the rays danced over the cute face of the Fairy. The warmth of the morning rays woke her up. She opened her beautiful eyes as if the lotus petals were unfurling gently in the morning rays. She threw her arms up in the air only to find that the Unicorn was gone. She looked around and was surprised to find a young man sitting in the place of the Unicorn. The young man was engrossed in beholding the sleeping beauty. His trance broke with the shriek of the Fairy.
“Who are you? How have you entered my hut?” her voice was terrified and was shaking.
The young man stretched his arm towards the Fairy and persuaded her to keep quiet.
He smiled at her and answered in his deep voice---“You don’t remember? You ushered me in, yesterday night. I am the Unicorn.”
The Fairy was amazed to hear that.
She shook her head in disbelief---“It can’t be. You are lying.”
---“I am a thief. I came to steal the enchanting potion from the Fairy Godmother. However, when I saw you. Your lotus shaped eyes, creamy soft cheeks, rosy lips, and your gorgeous beauty smote me. I forgot about the potion. I turned myself to the Unicorn to enter the house.”
On hearing those compliments, she turned her face away to hide her blush. She looked outside the window.
The thief approached the Fairy and stood behind her. He took a deep breath to inhale her jasmine fragrance. The aroma filled his lungs.
She looked over her shoulder and asked the thief---“What is your name?”
The thief cooed in her ears---“What do you want to call me?”
She gave a naughty smile---“White Unicorn.”
The thief smiled back---“So be it, my Beautiful Fairy.”

[ddey333]

She pointed to the forest, and asked the thief---“What is beyond that forest?”
---“High snow peaked mountains. Green grass fields. Tall pine and cedar trees. There is a narrow stream flowing between those mountains. It sings when the water dances around the pebbles and boulders.”
Upon hearing all these, her cute face turned gloom---“You roam all over the world. I always wanted to goto hills and play in the snow. I wanted to sing along with the river.”
The thief touched her shoulder. It sent a sweet chill through her beautiful frame.
The thief spoke---“You can go easily. You have got wings and you can fly.”
She turned towards the thief and spoke with a melancholy tone---“I can’t fly. Fairy Godmother has never taught me to fly. I can’t go out because she has etched a circle around the periphery.”
The thief stooped down and touched her chin---“I will take you.”
She looked up, her big dark eyes were filled up with delight---“Promise.”
He nodded---“Yes. But you have to give me the potion bottle.”
Her face again turned gloom---“I can give you. But how can I go? I can’t cross the line.”
The thief transformed to Unicorn and said to her---“I will dug a burrow under this hut, under that forest and will take you to the mountains. Will you go with me?”
She jumped in joy and nodded her head---“Yes.”
She wrapped the bottle of potion in a silk handkerchief and hid that in her gown.

The Unicorn started to dig burrow with his horn. He dug under the hut, under the forest. The beautiful Fairy crawled behind the Unicorn. It was dark inside the burrow. The manes of the Unicorn glowed in the dark to show the path. Her eyes were filled up with intense delight and same time her heart was filled up with unknown fear.
She asked the Unicorn in frightful voice---“Are you sure this is the right direction?”
The Unicorn neighed gently and nodded his head “Yes.”
The Fairy was tired, so she asked the Unicorn to stop burrowing. The Unicorn stopped burrowing and looked back. Her eyes were heavy. That was the first time she was out of her domain. She rested her head on his shoulder and fell asleep. The Unicorn gently pushed the Fairy on his back and started digging. He continued digging for two days.

After two days, the Unicorn came out of the burrow beyond the forest. The beautiful Fairy was still asleep on his back. The morning rays of sun were sparkling on the snow peaks. The warmth of the rays woke the Fairy. She rubbed her beautiful lotus buds and looked up. She was amused to find that she was at the foot of a high hill. There were snow peaked mountains beyond those small hills. Her heart was filled up with pure ecstasy. She jumped down from his back, stretched her arms, and looked up. She twirled around and took a deep breath, filled her lungs with fresh air. Her huge blue silk gown unfurled like a huge umbrella. Her long silvery white braid flew all over her cute face.

The Unicorn trotted slowly near her and rubbed his face on her nape. She blushed as she felt his warm caresses on her nape.

The Unicorn then metamorphosed back to thief.
He asked her---“Do you want to fly, My Beautiful Fairy?”
She nodded her head gently.
The thief scooped her on his lap and threw her in the air. The Fairy tried hard to flutter her wings. However, she could not. She was too weak to fly. She fell down on his arms again. The thief understood that the Fairy was weak. He looked around to find some fruits.
The Fairy asked him---“What are you searching for?”
---“For some fruits.”
---“Why?”
---“You are weak. You need something to eat.”
---“What about you?”
---“I have dry breads with me. You devour fruits, dew, and honey. You won’t be able to eat these, my Beautiful Fairy.”
The Fairy came near the thief and touched his arm---“Whatever you will feed me, I will relish that.”

[ddey333]

The thief handed a piece of bread to her. The rows of white pearls behind her red lips, glistened in the soft sun rays. The thief looked at her puerile face as she chewed. She kept a small piece of bread in her handkerchief as a memento.
She finished that bread and said to thief---“I am thirsty.”
He transmigrated himself to Unicorn and pierced the earth with his huge horn. A small fountain emerged from the earth. She drank water from the fountain.
The Unicorn was looking at her with amorous gaze.
She asked the Unicorn---“What are you looking at?”
He neighed---“I am looking at you. You are very beautiful.”
She looked away to hide her sweet blush.
The Unicorn asked her---“Do you want to fly again?”
She nodded her head “Yes”.
The Unicorn pushed her with his neck and threw her in the air.
That time the Fairy fluttered her huge wings with all her strength. She floated in the air. She outstretched her arms and glided in the air.
She screamed in joy---“I am flying, Unicorn. Thank you Unicorn.”
She looked down as she flew under the blue sky. The Unicorn trotted along with the shadow of the Fairy. She flew towards round and round over the green fields, all the day.

The sun was slipping down to the west, behind the hills. The Fairy came down and walked beside the Unicorn. She smiled and patted his neck with a gesture of gratitude. The Unicorn neighed to express his acknowledgement. The night came down. Chill winds were blowing from the mountains. Unicorn was shivering in cold.
Fairy said to the Unicorn---“We need to rest.”
The Unicorn nodded his head and sat down on the grass beside the beautiful Fairy. The Fairy covered the Unicorn under her huge wings and rested her head on his broad shoulder.
The Unicorn rubbed his face on her cheeks. He felt warmth under her huge wings.
She whispered to Unicorn---“Where do you live?”
The Unicorn pointed to the hills.
The Unicorn neighed and asked the Fairy---“Where will you go tomorrow?”
---“I have to go back to my Fairy Godmother. Tomorrow morning, I will give you the bottle of potion as a return gift of my limited freedom. It is made from her blood and bones. You have to be careful with the potion.”
He shook his head---“I don’t want that, my Beautiful Fairy.”
She looked to the hills and said---“I always dreamt of having a small hut in those hills. A small garden in front of my hut. A swing in that garden on which I can swing.”
The Unicorn nodded his head and assured her that he will build her a hut in those hills, beside the stream.
She threw her arms around his neck and said---“But my Fairy Godmother will come for me. She can smell me and the potion.”
The Unicorn neighed and wrapped his fiery white manes around her---“I will protect you with all my strength. I will take you to those high mountains and hide there.”
The Fairy felt secure in the warm embrace of his soft manes.
They closed their eyes and fell asleep.

In the morning, when Fairy opened her lotus buds, she could not find the Unicorn beside her. She searched for the potion bottle she brought along with her. It was with her. She felt a huge void inside her heart.
She looked around and yelled out---“Unicorn where are you?”
She tried to flutter her wings to search for the Unicorn, but she could not fly.
She understood that Unicorn was her source of strength, without him she could not fly.
She again screamed in pain and helplessness---“Unicorn where are you?”
There was no sign of Unicorn.
She lay on the grass and took out the potion bottle. Large drop of tears rolled down her cheeks and drenched the grass beneath.
She looked at the bottle and sobbed---“Your present is still with me, Unicorn. Come to me and take that at least. I want to see you for one last time, Unicorn.”
She took out her handkerchief and smelled that small piece of crumbled bread. She pressed that bread on her chest to feel his warmth on her bosom.
She cried again and again---“Don’t leave me, Unicorn.”

The Unicorn went in search for fruits, honey, and dew. He knew that the Fairy was finding it hard to chew his crumbled dry bread. He went away to the hills where there was a small garden and a fruit orchard. He collected the dews from the blades of grass in a lotus leaf. He plucked succulent juicy fruits from the orchard. He tore a honeycomb, filled up with delicious honey. He started to trot back towards the place he left his Beautiful Fairy.

On the other side, the Fairy was alone and terrified. She heard a huge thunder-strike. She got startled and looked to the woods. She was terrified to see a huge dark cloud approaching her. Fairy Godmother was coming to get her. She stood up from the ground and tried to flutter her wings. She could not fly. She started running towards the mountains. Fairy Godmother was coming for her very fast. She caught hold of her long flowing braids and pulled her up from the ground.
The Fairy cried in pain and agony---“Let me live, Fairy Godmother. I want to live.”
Fairy Godmother hissed---“How dare you steal my potion and leave the house? Who was with you? Who helped you to flee?”
She concealed the truth in the abyss of her tiny bleeding heart---“I dug the burrow and fled away.”
Fairy Godmother did not believe a single word of her. She held her wings and tried to tear apart.
She sobbed---“Don’t tear my wings. Please.”
The Fairy yelled out in sheer pain. Drops of tears rolled down her rosy cheeks.
She pleaded to her. However, fairy Godmother was adamant on tearing apart her wings.

The Unicorn came back and found that the Beautiful Fairy was not there. He looked up and saw that the Fairy was in the arms of Fairy Godmother. He dropped those fruits. The dew got splattered on the ground. The honey got smeared on the blades of grass. He neighed to the Fairy Godmother with all his strength.

The Fairy heard the Unicorn and stretched her arms towards him.
She cried out---“Unicorn, where were you?”
The Fairy Godmother gave a fiery gaze at the Unicorn and hissed---“Keep away from my Fairy, you filthy beast.”
The Unicorn started galloping towards her to free his Beautiful Fairy.
Fairy cried out again in top of her voice---“Go away, before she kills you. Unicorn, please go away.”
However, Unicorn paid no heed to Fairy’s requests or Godmother’s threatens. He galloped with all his strength to free his beloved Fairy.
He leaped in the air. He threw his fore legs towards the Fairy Godmother, to free the Fairy.
The Beautiful Fairy took out the potion bottle and threw it towards him.
She cried out---“Take your present, my beloved Unicorn and go away.”
The Fairy Godmother caught hold of her wings as she tried to reach out for the Unicorn’s hooves.
The Unicorn kicked the bottle to reach out for the Fairy. His hooves touched the soft fingers of the Beautiful Fairy.
The Beautiful Fairy cried her lungs out---“Go away. Leave me to my fate.”

The potion bottle of “amour-propre” broke. “Amour-propre”, potion of ego and snobbery that makes everyone blind.
Fairy Godmother fell down on the ground with a loud thud. The dark clouds that surrounded her, vanished away.
The wings, ripped apart from Fairy’s back and she fell in the arms of Unicorn. She hid her face in the chest of Unicorn and hugged him with all her strength.
The Fairy Godmother looked at them and looked at the broken bottle of the potion.
Her chest trembled gently as she looked at the peaceful face of Fairy.
The Unicorn placed the Fairy on her feet. She had her eyes closed. The Unicorn rubbed his cheek on her face and asked her to open her eyes.
Emotions flowed in the form of tears as the Fairy opened her eyes.
He neighed painfully---“Your wings are broken.”
She gave a pleasant smile with tearful eyes---“I don’t want to fly anymore. I want to ride on your back and ride with you.”

Fairy Godmother outstretched her arms to the Beautiful Fairy and said---“Come to my arms, my Child. I want to kiss you for one last time.”
On seeing her tears, Fairy kneeled down in front of her and threw her arms around Fairy Godmother.
Fairy Godmother took her beautiful face in her palms and kissed her forehead.
The Unicorn trotted near the Fairy Godmother and stooped his head. She placed her soothing palm on his head and blessed them.
The Beautiful Fairy smiled back at Fairy Godmother with tearful eyes and stood up.
Fairy Godmother sobbed out---“My Child. You are in the best hands. Go and live your life in mountains.”
