The unicorn lived in the lilac woods and he lived all alone. He was very old though he did not know it and he was no longer the careless color of sea foam but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night but his eyes were still clear and unwearied and he still moved like a shadow on the sea. Deep in the lilac woods lived all woodland creatures big and small, from the birds to the bears and in the woods are two hunters named Kolivan and Antok as Kolivan says "I mislike the feel of these woods. Creatures that live in the unicorn's forest learn a little magic of their own in time; mainly concerned with disappearing" Antok scoffs "Unicorns, Kolivan? I thought they only excisted in fairytales"

Antok looks around the forest and asks "This is a forest like any other. Isn't it?" Kolivan asks "Then why do the leaves never fall here? Or the snow? Why is it always spring here?" Antok is silent as Kolivan explains "I tell you, Antok, there is one unicorn left in the world and as long as it lives in this forest, we'll find no game to hunt here" Antok says "No one has ever seen a unicorn, Kolivan. Many believe they're just myths" Kolivan says "Unicorns are all too real, Antok. They guard their forests well and yet somehow, there hardly ever been any around" Antok asks "Why do you think that is?"

Kolivan replies "Some may have stopped believing in unicorns while others generally steal narwhal fangs to decieve people into believing they caught a unicorn's horn" Antok asks "What's so special about their horns?" Kolivan replies "A unicorn's horn is full of pure magic that can cure the sick and heal the wounded but also to purify water and protect their forests" Antok says "Well since we can't hunt here, let's turn around and hunt somehwere else" Kolivan agrees "Very well then" but as the two hunters ride out of the forest, Kolivan looks at it one more time and says "Stay where you are, poor beast. This is no world for you. Stay in your forest and keep your trees green and your friends protected and good luck to you, for you are the last"

The two hunters ride out of the forest as they did not notice something watching them. It was a white unicorn with eyes as blue as the ocean and its coat as white as snow and after hearing Kolivan say he was the last, he began to ask "I am the only unicorn there is? The last?"
