I am the only Unicorn there is? The last? That cannot be. Why would I be the last? What do Men know? Because they have seen no Unicorns for a while does not mean we have all vanished. We do not vanish! There’s never been a time without Unicorns. We live forever. We are as old as the sky; old as the moon. We can be hunted, trapped, we can even be killed if we leave our forests, but we do not vanish! Am I truly the last?
