Unicorn Ryan stepped in to Gemstone Glade with joy in his heart. It was Christmas Day, and one last adventure awaited him, one last word to choose on his magical stone tablet.
The stone tablet offered four options:
Christmas Castle
Ryan nodded his horn towards the Christmas Castle text.
A stone doorway appeared. Ryan walked through … in to a snow kissed valley, a frozen lake below, and above a grand pink turreted castle. Ryan looked up. There was a pink Pegasus unicorn statue on top of the castle, horn pointing to the sky as if it were trying to fly.
A huge Christmas tree bedecked with presents stood proudly in the castle courtyard. Ryan ignored it. The people here did not need him, it looked like there were gifts for all.
Ryan flew to the unicorn statue. Stone eyes glimmered in the winter sun. Ryan’s heart suddenly ached, he felt as though he knew this unicorn, a soul from a dream … a unicorn calling to him in his sleep. A cry for help.
Gently, Ryan touched his horn to the pink unicorn’s head. Suddenly, her eyes blinked, and her body twitched.
She turned her head, and looked deep in to his eyes.
“Thank you, saviour, you have heard my Christmas prayer. I am Magenta. Many years ago, a king’s magician turned me to stone so they could have a lovely rooftop statue. I have hoped and prayed for years to be free … and now you are here, on Christmas Day.”
“Come with me, far from this land. There is a portal below … “
So Ryan and Magenta flew through the portal, which disappeared behind them. The Gemstone Glade fairies greeted them in astonished joy.
“A pink unicorn!” they breathed as one. The pink fairies were particularly excited, a unicorn soulmate!
Magenta drank from the fountain with the thirst of a unicorn who had been stone for centuries. The fountain waters turned pink.
It began to gently snow, and as the snowflakes touched the ground, they too turned pink.
Ryan showed Magenta the stone tablet. She touched it with her horn, and it turned magenta pink. The words rearranged themselves … and new magic missions beckoned for 2025.
May your Christmas be full of unicorn magic, and may your new year gift you many exciting adventures. We wish you a happy glittering Gemstone Glade Christmas.
