Unicorn
Leaving the sanctuary behind, I set out once more through the forest with the unicorn. The purified air is far clearer than before, and the entire forest seems to be overflowing with joy. Birds are singing, the trees are rustling, and fairies are flitting about merrily.
Feeling my inner strength, I ponder where I should go next. I have not yet fully deciphered the ancient text entrusted to me by Elder, the leader of Emerald City. The text contains a description of a forgotten temple, where it is said that further knowledge and power lie dormant.
However, I am also concerned about the Sanctuary, where the flowers of the Seeds of Hope are blooming in all their glory. To completely eradicate the distortion, I may need to watch over the growth of these flowers and properly manage their energy.
I speak gently to the unicorn. “Unicorn, what do you think? Should I head for the Forgotten Temple, or should I watch over the flowers in the Sanctuary?”
The unicorn listens to my words and quietly tilts its head. Then, gazing intently at me with its beautiful eyes, it points deep into the forest.
I understand the unicorn’s message. The unicorn is telling me that a new trial awaits me. The Forgotten Temple may be an opportunity for me to grow further and could hold the key to completely erasing the distortion.
I renew my resolve. “All right, Unicorn. Let’s head for the Forgotten Temple. We’ll entrust the flowers of the sanctuary to the forest fairies. They’ll nurture and protect them with care.”
I bid farewell to the forest fairies and tell them we are heading for the Forgotten Temple. The fairies respect my decision and gladly agree to care for the flowers. They express their gratitude to me and pray for my safe journey.
Together with the unicorn, I step deep into the heart of the forest. The path may be rugged and fraught with difficulties. However, I possess the power of a Creator and the power to purify the distortion. And above all, I have my unicorn—a steadfast companion.
We will overcome these challenges, reach the forgotten temple, and gain further knowledge and power. And I vow to transform this world into a true paradise.
As we venture deeper into the forest, I recall a book containing records of an ancient civilization. That book should have contained not only the location of the temple but also descriptions of the secrets and dangers hidden there. I need to reread the book and verify the information about the temple.
I signal to the unicorn, and we decide to take a break in a safe spot. We sit down in the shade of the trees and open the book. It contains detailed descriptions of the temple’s structure and the spirits that dwell there. It also states that the temple is protected by powerful magic and that traps have been set to deter intruders.
I read through the book carefully, searching for a way to avoid the temple’s traps. Then, my eyes fell on a particular passage. It concerned a stone statue placed at the temple’s entrance; the statue is said to possess the power to read the minds of intruders and see through to the truth. To deceive the statue, one must overcome the fears and doubts deep within one’s heart and possess a strong will.
