Needless to say, Lance was puzzled as he asks "He said I could find the other unicorns but where? Or was the story of the Red Lion just another one of his songs?" Night came as Lance says "Oh, I could never leave this forest but I must know I'm the only unicorn left in the world. Suppose they're hiding together somewhere far away" and asks "What if they're waiting for me in need of my help?"

Lance hears Hunk's voice repeat "You can find the others if you are brave" Lance neighs in fear and runs off but stops as he sees the forest animals staring at him and says "I must go quickly and come back as soon as I can" the forest animals wish their guardian good luck as Lance runs to begin his quest and the seasons change from spring to summer then fall to winter but still Lance kept going despite being tired and hungry but he didn't give up on his mission and continued running and refused to stop and rest for a day or so

Lance approaches Man's world which was a strange world for unicorns since they remained in their forests because Man don't see nor believe in them which was something Lance forgot until he came across a farmer named Slav who says "Well hello there, little one. Hello there, my dear and just who might you belong to a pretty little thing like you? Come now, good girl. Good Bessie. Old Slav'll cuddle you up, clean you off. You will be the prettiest mare anyhwere" Lance neighs in anger as he asks "Mare? Me? A horse? Is that what you take me for? Is that what you see?" Slav chuckles "Easy, easy, good girl. What a pretty sight you are. Old Slav'll feed you up, take you to the fair. Come on, horse" Lance yells "A horse, am I? A horse indeed" Lance runs away as Slav says "Now there's a horse. My foot must've slipped"

Lance stops at a grassfield to graze as he says "I forgot that men can't see unicorns and if they don't know what they're looking at anymore, there may well be other unicorns in the world yet. Unknown and glad of it" Lance continues his quest as days and nights go by and despite being tired and hungry, he still didn't give up on his mission until one night he decided to rest on the grass unaware that three people riding on carts roll by until they stop and an old woman with purple skin and red marking on her face stares at Lance and says "Well bless my old husk of a heart and I thought I'd seen the last of them. If she knew but I don't think I'll tell her. She'll think it's a horse for sure. Some apprentice she turns out to be. Here, you two"

 A muscular man with a mechanical arm for his right arm and a young woman with blonde hair and wearing a pink dress arrive as the man grumbles "Just what in hell was there to stop for, Haggar?" Haggar asks "What do you think it is, Sendak? What do you see lying there?" Sendak replies "A dead horse" Haggar yells "You're a fool but I knew that" and asks "What about you, apprentice? What do you see with your sorceress's sight?" Sendak laughs as the young woman is silent until Haggar demands "Answer me, you juggler" the young woman replies "I see a horse. Just a white mare" Haggar cackles "I thought so. All right, it's a white mare. I want her for the carnival. The last cage is empty" 

Sendak says "I need a rope" Haggar says "The rope that can hold the mare has not been woven. We'll do the best we can with cold iron bars" the young woman sees Lance moving and says "She's waking" Haggar scowls "I'll put a sleep on her" Haggar casts a spell on Lance giving him an extra horn and he remains asleep as Haggar says "Now cage her. She'll sleep till sunrise" Lance wakes up and finds himself in a cage as he sees the young woman walk towards him as she says "Don't worry Miss Mare, you'll be all right" Lance says "I'm not a mare" Romelle gasps "You can talk?!" Lance asks "Well yes, actually. Why am I in a cage?" the young woman replies "See for yourself" 

Lance sees Sendak with a crowd of people as they see a manticore in a cage and Sendak explains "This here is the manticore. A man's head, lion's body and tail of a scorpion. Creatures of night brought to light" they walk toward the next cage as Sendak explains "Here is a dragon. Breathes fire now and then mostly at people who poke it. Its inside is an inferno but its skin is so cold, it burns. Speaks 17 languages badly and is subject to gout. Creatures of night brought to light" they walk toward another cage as Sendak explains "The Satyr. Ladies, keep back" the young woman whispers "I shouldn't be here but quickly tell me what you see. Don't be afraid. Look at your fellow legends and tell me what you see"

Lance looks at the manticore and says "What he calls a manticore looks to be no more than a shabby toothless lion and she has them believing that poor old ape with the twisted foot is a Satyr. Illusions, deceptions, mirages. Your mistress Haggar cannot truly change things" the young woman agrees "That's true. She can only disguise and only for those eager to believe whatever comes easiest" Sendak and the crowd are at another cage as Sendak explains "The Midgard Serpent. It's got the whole world in its coils" Lance sees past the illusion and only sees an ordinary snake

The young woman explains "Well, she can't turn cream into butter but she can make a lion look like a manticore to eyes that want to see a manticore just as she put a false horn on a real unicorn to make them see the unicorn" Lance gasps as he looks at the false horn and the young woman says "I know you. If I were blind, I would know what you are" Lance asks "Who are you?" Romelle replies "I am called Romelle the Sorceress. You won't have heard of me. I entertain the sightseers as they gather for the show. It's not much of a job for a real sorceress but I've had worse"
