The Ecology of the Unicorn It has recently come to my attention that some of my colleages of the Mystical College of Abeth are unaware of the true nature of that most mystical and magical of creatures, the unicorn. Most of my friends and fellow members of the College are knowledgable as to the folk-tales and myth surrounding the unicorn, but these stories and legends are a mere portion of the truth. As most know, the unicorn has the appearance of a large goat, with chin-whiskers and all, but with only a single horn, a cubit long, emerging from the center of its forehead. The unicorn lives in the deepest forest, safe from men, its most-feared predator. The unicorn's horn is imbued with many magical properties, including the ability to heal wounds with a touch, to purify poluted waters, and intensify the love a coouples who should happen to espy one. The horn is also a fearsome weapon in battle, with packs of wolves easily slain by the unicorn, and even the great dragons bested on occasion. It is also thought that drinking a potion of ground unicorn horn will give potency and virility to a man, for it is apparently a curious fact that all unicorns are male. And while it is true that no hunter can catch a unicorn, and that only a female virgin of the most pure and chaste variety will be able to lure one to herself, all is not quite as it seems. The unicorn will indeed approach the maiden, and lay its head in her lap, but then events will take an unexpected turn. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Wissa stood in the forest, the hunters behind her. While she knew the ways of a man with a woman, she had never been with a man, and indeed had never even kissed one, not counting her papa. She also knew why she was there, and why the hunters were there. They were hunting unicorn, to kill it and take its horn, which would be sold for a fortune. Her parents had been paid a substantial fee for her accompanying the hunters, and she had aquiesced, for the money would make life much easier for a long time to come. But, during their trek through the forest, to a place where a unicorn was supposed to live, she had listened to the tales the hunters told. Tales of how beautiful the unicorn was, and the magical things it could do. Wissa had resolved that, if she could, she would warn the unicorn away from the hunters. As the party entered the deep brush, the hunters spread out slightly, still keeping in sight of one another, but covering the greatest possible ground, looking for signs of the unicorn. Shortly, one man shouted-he'd found fairly fresh tracks. They followed the tracks to a small pool, formed by a spring bubbling up from the ground. So the hunters prepared a place for Wissa, and she sat down, (115 min left), (H)elp, More? preparing for the wait. The hunters dispersed themselves around the area, and readied themselves. Several hours passed, with no sign of the unicorn. Wissa grew uncomfortable, and then she finally stood, telling the head hunter that she had to go relieve herself. He agreed, and sent her away from the pool. Wissa went a short distance and found a convenient bush. Just as she finished, she looked up. There was the unicorn, staring at her! Wissa was almost overcome by the sheer beauty of the unicorn. He tossed his head at her, then turned away. After a few paces he stopped, turned, and repeated the movement. "He must want me to follow him," she thought. So she rose, and followed after. The unicorn silently led her deeper into the forest. Wissa followed for near a half-mile. He led her to a secluded glade, with a large pool of water, with a small waterfall trickling into it. There the unicorn stopped to drink, so Wissa did too. After satiating their thirst, the unicorn moved toward the edge of the clearing, and knelt. Wissa thought she should kneel, too, and did so, a few feet from the 'corn. Wissa watched as the unicorn shuffled closer to her, an laid its head in her lap. Wissa felt a wave of emotion wash through her, settling in the viscinity of her pussy. For some reason, she had not tucked her skirts under her legs as she sat, so when the unicorn suddenly moved them up towards her waist, she was taken by surprise. But its hot breath on her bare cunt-lips felt too wonderful for her to complain, or to readjust her skirts. As it began to nibble at the folds between her legs, the unicorn`s flexible lips sent waves of pleasure through Wissa. Her juices started to flow, and were eagerly licked up by the unicorn's long tongue. As it caressed her throbbing clit, Wissa began to lean back, and her hands unavoidable reached up to find her nipples, hard nubs on her well-formed chest. She piched them through the fabric. They grew harder still. As the unicorn started to thrust its tongue into her love canal, Wissa pulled down her decolletage, and fondled her breasts directly, without heavy fabric interfering with any of the wonderful sensations. As the unicorn tounge plunged in and out of her, Wissa began to shake with the force of her impending orgasm. Her hips began to buck, and her come spilled out of her cunt. The juices were swallowed by the unicorn, which had continued to lick, nibble, and tease her clit. Her moans and gasps of pleasure echoed around the small clearing and out across the pool of water. As the tremors began to subside, Wissa returned to some awareness of her surroundings. As she looked up from where she had lain back, she saw the unicorn, laying between her outspread legs, with her come all over the tiny beard below its chin (and on most of the rest of its muzzle). As he got to his feet, Wissa saw the large black cock hanging between its legs, rigid with urgency. A drop of pre-come fell as she watched. Wissa knew what she had to do. She got to her feet, then stood and shed her clothing, which was gathered around her waist. The unicorn waited, expectantly. Wissa turned, dropped to her knees, and bent forward to place her hands on the ground. The unicorn, its cock fully erect, moved forward. As Wissa felt the 'corn's chest brush her back, she moved back to meet that which she felt such a need for. The tip of the long, dark cock brushed her anus as the unicorn halted, then it drifted lower, to place itself against the entrance to her pussy. Wissa felt it start to enter her, and the unicorn moved forward, embedding itself into her, but no more than an inch before Wissa's tight, unused pussy held it fast. They began to rock, forward and back. As the unicorn's cock pulled out of Wissa, she moved forward, until only its head remained inside her. Then the two moved together, sawing the cock into Wissa's cunt, forcing a little deeper into her every time, until it was blocked. Once, twice more the way was blocked. But on the third time, her maidenhood gave way. Wissa yelped in pain, but it quickly subsided into greater pleasure. One hand reached up to her chest, alternately tweaking one nipple, then the other. Shivers ran up and down her spine as the rough belly hairs rubbed her smooth-skinned back. As they pulled apart, then together again, the unicorn's prick continued to press farther into Wissa with each thrust, until finally it pressed against her cervix with each stroke. Her juices ran freely now, and each time the unicorn's cock pulled out, it glistened in the sunlight. Wissa began to moan and squeal again, as her climax approached. The unicorn's squeals matched hers as it cock began to throb with the impending release. They bucked and swayed, first apart, then together again with increasing force. With a sound that was almost a scream, the unicorn began to come, its first surge seeming to fill Wissa's already overfull pussy with liquids. Wissa cried out as her orgasm reached its peak, and she started to come again. As further spurts of come filled Wissa, and seeped out of her, she shuddered, nearly in time with the unicorn. As their orgasms eased, the two remained in position for several endless minutes, with his cock still buried in her. Finally, they pulled apart, and collapsed down onto the sweet grasses, with Wissa nestled up against the unicorn's flank. Wissa awoke much later, feeling chilled. Sunlight slanted low into the clearing. The unicorn was gone, and she could hear the shouts of the hunters as they called her name, evidently searching for her. Wissa quickly climbed into her dress, and called back, running to meet them, so they wouldn't discover the glade. As the hunters gathered around where she found the first one, Wissa explained that she had gone too far when she had gone to relieve herself, and had gotten lost. She told them that she hadn't cried out, for fear of scaring away the unicorn, should it be near. Since it was so late, everyone started back to camp. Two more weeks passed, with Wissa going to various locations the hunters found, and waiting there. Since she was no longer virgin, the unicorn did not come of course, so all the traps the hunters set came to nought. Eventually, they gave up, and headed home. In the following months, it became obvious that Wissa was pregnant. Her parents pressed her closely for the identity of the father, but Wissa told them nothing. Eventually, her time came, and as Wissa lay groaning on the bed, the first things she heard were the shriek of the midwife, and a soft nicker, as her newborn unicorn colt rose up on spindly legs. To the horror of her mother and the midwife, Wissa weakly drew the colt to her breast, to nurse. --------------------------------------------------------------------- It is my sincerest wishes that, by the means of this treatise, my colleagues of the Mystical College of Abeth have been edified as to the ecology of the unicorn, both its natural habitat and mannerisms, and most especially its peculiar means of reproduction. I hereby place this treatise in the Great Library of the Mystical College of Abeth, for the now and for the future inhabitants and students of its magical arts and treasures. Jadben Veldben Wizard of Calben Town Great Forest of Abeth help raise the food, then she wouldn't eat. At least for now. Since she would be here for nine months at a minimum; and more likely ten to twelve (depending on when a viable egg was dropped) it behooved her to learn to raise the meals she would eat. Anywhere from nine to a year or so as a slave ... and then she would be released; far better off actually than she would have been with her family. As said, unicorn girls are in great demand ... and she would have a dowry such as her poor family could never have supplied. A small price, some might think. (A VERY horrid thought occurred to me ... What if the recent increase in such things was because some men KNEW this ... and couldn't provide for their daughter/sister. It was well-known that some farms not that far away had failed so badly after the last drought, that the men lost their entire livelihood. What a sacrifice to make! I firmly put *THAT* horrible idea out of my head. The men were greedy poaching robbers, who tied up their own little girl without caring what horrible thing happened to her, as long as they caught a unicorn. They *had* to be.) Whatever. I took a bath in the cistern-water usually reserved only for drinking. I needed purity today. This time, only Sam would follow me. This was my last time, and this time I would share it with none of my sisters. Getting ready, gathering a lunch, packing extra food and water in case things took longer than usual, wearing the freshly- made (but skimpy) clothes that Genny had provided ("untouched by men") made me realize I had to move fast, if I would get to my planned spot before noon. The same spot as my first time. Memories *are* important, you know. Both humans and unicorns do remember. I gathered myself up from my wool- gathering, told Jenny, who was looking at the garden with almost fear, "To eat, you work. Starving will not bring your brothers back," and left. "Quidquid praecipies, esto brevis." 4 The "Clang" of the garden-gate swinging shut behind me added punctuation to my words. I didn't look back to see if the girl was following my homily. If she didn't now, she would later when hunger drove her to it. It would be months yet before we had to ensure she had a proper diet. No girl yet had elected to starve. It was with a mixture of joy and sadness that I walked towards the woods this time; passing familiar sights of late spring and early summer. The apple trees were past blooming; and not yet really budding with apples. The conifers were silent and dark underneath. The scree where lumberjacks had emptied one side of a hill still spilled detritus down towards the creek below. It would take another five to ten years for the scar to heal enough to be green again. All-in-all though, a great summer day, with long days, short nights, and the smell of green growing things in the air. Yes, definitely a good day for starting something new to growing. It *was* past noon, when I reached the meadow. Knowing unicorn preferences for more privacy however, I sought the more enclosed clearing on one side, where a creek splashed happily by, and gurgled like a cheerful babe as it vanished farther down into the meadow below. Samantha would know where to find me, when the proper time came. I spread out the blanket. (Might as well be comfortable.) Put the food and water nearby, and settled down to read one of the few precious volumes we had of love and romance. After today, I would have to learn a lot about such things. I wanted Danny to be happy with me as a wife ... and me, him. Today (or possibly tonight) was my last time. It took longer this time than usual, for the stallion to find me. I wondered if it was because he was the one who had taken Jenny, and thus was already sated. I hoped not. More likely, other unicorns had recognized his smell upon me, and had thus left me for the older animal. It was like he just appeared; his dappled gray hide blending in with the forest like he was part of it. As usual, the sight of such a magnificent animal almost took my breath away. A unicorn is *NOT* just a horse with a horn you know. It's a separate creature, that just cannot breed with them. In fact (something that only unicorn breeders like us know) all unicorns are male. The great beast approached me, sniffed me, and once satisfied stroked my body with its horn. A tingle ran through my loins, as I felt my body react in the way only a woman's body can to the live touch of a unicorn-horn. For some reason, only the live beast will bring this response in a woman, while all other virtues of the horn remain intact with the animal's death. Two, then three strokes; and then the brindled animal was rubbing against me more like a cat begging for attention, than a horse or hooved creature. I felt my body respond, both involuntarily, and with conscious heat on my part. In the back of my mind, I hoped that Jenny had enjoyed *her* coupling, rather than being frightened by it. I always had ... but then, I hadn't been frightened, tied up, or blindfolded; though I knew the blindfold must have been gone before she was taken. 5 I felt myself being nudged by the nose of my magnificent lover. How the great beast kept the horn from poking me and drawing blood, I'll never know. By this time, I was so hot and ready, I must have smelled like a bitch in heat ... or is that mare in heat? I was definitely ready. So was the unicorn. With a sudden thrust, I was filled. Truly filled; as the unicorn's penis grew from that the size of a large man (10 or 12 inches) to a truly appalling size inside me. Luckily, unicorns don't thrust in and out like I've seen dogs do (and have heard that men do) but just locked his body to mine while we mated. A warm feeling spread from my loins to my belly, my arms, legs, and chest, and finally reached my brain as I suddenly started exploding in orgasm again and again; my vagina and womb milking the embedded member inside it for the precious seed stored there. A unicorn, unlike most other animals, does not squirt semen inside a woman. SHE milks it out of the bulb he plants inside her, as the virtue of his penis makes her orgasm almost continuously for up to several hours, depending on his age, and her stamina. It's an incredible experience; and one that could bring a woman back time after time, if allowed. But once bred, all unicorns lose interest in a woman. Similarly, if *any* other male has entered the woman previously, no unicorn will show interest. In fact, they avoid all humans except girls who haven't had sex with anybody but them. That includes other unicorns. And ... once bred ... a woman is almost certain to conceive. For unicorn sperm does not die in three days, three weeks, or even three years; drawing sustenance from the female body until I viable egg drops and is fertilized. Only pregnancy causes death to the competing sperm. This being one of the ways that unicorns ensure the continuation of their species. I woke from incredible orgasmic bliss to soreness between my legs. Not since the first time with the great stallion, had I been that sore. The horny old thing had done me up brown. The second thing I noticed (after blue skies and forest around me) was the crumpled gray heap about ten feet away. My sister had done her job. Yes, my lover was dead, except for the life growing inside me, and the sons he had fathered on me and my sister for the last ten years. Now that he was dead, other unicorns ... his sons ... might approach me ... when I was fertile again. But that phase of my life was over now. My sister would carry on. Once this foal was born and released into the forest, I would start raising girls of my own. For you see, unicorn-horn, especially ground horn, has the ability to purify water. And that water has almost the same potency to ensure male virility as the horn itself does. But such virility has a price. The children are all girls. So does the unicorn in yet another way ensure the survival of both species. 6 Like I said, sometimes raising unicorns can be a sad thing. Looking down at the body of the great beast, was such a sad thing; but entirely necessary. Unicorns do not live as long as men; seldom past 12 years. My gorgeous lover was an old unicorn; and would soon have died. WHERE unicorns go when they die, nobody has ever figured out. One person even suggested in the books I read, that they ate each other, to prevent humans from finding them. In support, he pointed out that unicorns have teeth far more suited to eating meat than grass. An interesting idea. For sure they can be killers; as the dead poachers gave good evidence of. I was glad that the poison on the dart was both fast and painless; having experienced a touch of it myself when young. It just deadens nerves until death occurs. Luckily, I had just lost feeling in an arm for about an hour from the slight scratch ... unlike the large dose that brought the stallion down. But raising unicorns can also be a joyous thing. In nine, ten, or even eleven or twelve months I would give birth to our son, and watch the young stallion stagger off into the woods; growing stronger and more steady with each step. It's an experience that no man will ever know. Tomorrow, I'll go see Danny. Now that the unicorn's sperm is safely locked inside my womb by the plug the animal left, it's safe for me to have sex with a man. And, as I said, a unicorn-girl is greatly prized around these parts. Where else can a man find a woman with *proven* fertility, that he *knows* has never slept with another man ... ever. Besides, a king's ransom in unicorn horn never hurts a gal's chances either. I'll miss my big lover though. I left the dirty work of butchering to my younger sisters. For some reason, I just didn't feel like helping this time. 7
