Black unicorn twins Cleo and Jess trot sleekly in to Gemstone Glade, their dark coats glistening under a soft sun, their golden horns shining like precious jewels on fire.

Slowly they circle the fountain, then lower their heads to drink, horns touching the flowing water. It turns gold, as a mute magic is unleashed. Golden light starts to rise from the fountain, turning into a rainbow, steps taking shape, each a different shade of gold, light and dark together in a dance of golden fire.

Cleo and Jess look at each other, and slowly nod. The rainbow grows higher, stretching to the sky. Cleo and Jess ascend its steps.

They reach its pinnacle, looking down on Gemstone Glade below, its fountain a shining beacon of silent hope. Then they descend the other side of the rainbow. As they reach the bottom, they are soothed by darkness. It is night here, in an alternate Gemstone Glade, the same yet in reverse. In this other world, there are three moons above. The fountain is larger and noisier, a song of moonshine magic, wild whispers in the night.

The trees frame the glade like ancient protectors, larger and therefore older than in their Gemstone Glade cousin. And in front of the fountain, are two white twin unicorns with golden horns.

“Welcome friends.” Unicorns always trust each other when they meet, as unkindness is unknown in the unicorn kingdom. “We are Clint and Jade.” The four unicorns get to know each other, and quickly realise that they are two pairs of twin souls, their lives so similar, yet different in the detail.

Gemstone Glade sighs in the soft moonlight, or Crystal Cave Glade as this version is called.

Clint and Jade show their new friends the crystal caves deep beneath the glade. A hole next to the fountain houses steps that descend, and descend. Finally they reach the bottom. Crystals of light throw shadows around a large underground cavern.

A deep pool in its centre contains tiny dolphins, jumping for joy to greet their unicorn friends. Each dolphin has a golden horn protruding from their head, they are uni-dolphins. Cleo and Jess have heard the stories of uni-dolphins, but did not believe them. Until now.

The dolphins and unicorns enjoy many hours telling stories and whispering legends. The pool links via an underground tunnel to the ocean, and more uni-dolphins arrive from there to join them. It is a night of magic and merriment. As the new friends party, mystical golden dust rises from their horns. A cloud forms and mounts the steps to rise high above Crystal Cave Glade. Then, the cloud releases golden rain, blessing the glade below with the healing power of gold. When it hits the ground, the rain forms golden pebbles.

In the morning, the golden rainbow is still there, waiting. Cleo and Jess retrace their steps, a new golden happiness in their hearts. They return to Gemstone Glade as night descends there, its one moon shining golden tonight.

The golden rainbow slowly fades, leaving behind gold dust on the ground. It starts to rain, and as if by magic the dust rises and turns in to tiny golden fairies.

The fairies of Gemstone Glade clap their hands in delight, new friends! It is a morning of golden magic, not the end but the start of a story, a tale that knows no conclusion, the never to be finished novel of Gemstone Glade.
