A Unicorns Revolution.

And this is how it all started.

            It was the unicorns that told her so. It was also the unicorns that started all this. I suppose that’s how once upon a time started. If there was ever a once upon a time…

            It was a normal day for everyone. The pixies were flitting about the flowers with the butterflies and the bees. The trolls and goblins fighting over whose food are whose, and others.  It was just another normal day for the seelie and unseelie. No one appeared to be bored, but that seemed to be the problem for one seelie. This is where the story starts, my dear readers, and unreaders, with that bored seelie. And it wasn’t just any seelie, oh no, it was a special one in fact it was the unicorn prince. He was sweet but conceited, nice and yet demanding, smart as well as just plain. It was just a regular day, his tutor dismissing him early so she can ‘correct’ some papers.  And that left him nothing to do, before he had to go do his princely appointments. So he- let’s call him Nord shall we- got an idea and that was to slip out of the palace grounds. Only problem was that, since the unicorns were at the top of the animal kingdom, it was nearly impossible to come in, or out of the palace grounds. In fact, my dear readers and unreaders, it would take up to a week or two just to get in, even if you were royalty. They check your pockets, your clothes, everything that you have with you, and then they make you take about a dozen tests about who knows what!

            After a week of analyzing your results, they tell you if you’re on the okay to go in, but that would mean more checking your pockets. It’s especially a hassle if you were just going to go in for one day. Once you get out though more searches and tests, and all the while if you weren’t important enough to stay at the palace you would be in the between. Where you’re in between to go home and your destination which is the palace, all the while you’re waiting to get out. But Nord didn’t have to wait a week or two, oh no, he knew ways to get out. Ways that was never ever used by anyone else, except for him. And that was tunnel systems which he made himself, hidden behind the most ordinariest of the ordinary furniture that no one would ever think of going there. In fact, one of them was the light switch in his room. On first thought if you flick it on and off it, looks normal, but the screw under it is password protected. Just flick it on, swipe your finger (if you have Nord’s hoof print that is), and just wait ten seconds, then a hole appears on the floor. Jump in before the full twenty seconds is up. And that’s what he did.

            Only once he got down, there was something odd. And in a trance like motion, he walked down to one of the farthest doors, the one that leads right up to a pond in the forest just a bit outside the palace. He paused right outside the door, frowning a bit, then shrugged not really caring now. He turned the knob, stepping through the threshold instantly right besides the pond. He didn’t have to turn around to close it behind him, it just automatically did it for him, and how could you anyways, if the door just simply disappeared? Well that’s what it did, and Nord saw a crying little elf at the far edge of the pond. He walked up to her, and without a word hugged her, which was a bit hard considering that he didn’t have hands. She didn’t stop crying, in fact, it looked like she barely noticed at all. And with silent words passing between them, he instantly knew what to do, as well as her. Now that’s probably how once upon a revolution started.
