HOW TO TAME A UNICORN
BRUIN
The sharp horn narrowly missed my throat, but one of the hooves
found its mark. I repressed a scream as pain shot through my shin and
up my leg. Only years of experience kept me from making the fatal mistake
of crying out. Loud noise would only upset the stabhorn further.
“Easy, girl,” I muttered soothingly while staying out of reach of the
deadly horn. My voice was tense with pain, but I hoped she wouldn’t
notice. “Calm down.”
The mare didn’t listen. She reared up again, her hooves coming
perilously close to crushing my skull. An’tia was huge for her age and
gender. I barely reached up to the lowest point of her back. With a furious
whinny, she landed on all fours again. Golden mist rose from her nostrils, a
sign of her anger and fear.
“Take it easy. I’m not here to hurt you.”
An’tia didn’t care. She glared at me with her azure blue eyes, her
disdain and wrath evident. She was going to be a handful. Every new arrival
at the sanctuary was scared, dangerous and unpredictable, but her size set
her aside from the other stabhorns. I wasn’t a small male, not in the
slightest, but next to her, I felt tiny.
Her hooves scraped across the ground as she got ready to attack again.
The golden mist coming from her nostrils surrounded her like a cloud,
shimmering in the evening light of the Second Sun. Maybe it was time to
give her some space and try again tomorrow.
An’tia pointed her horn at my heart, the tip dark with dried blood. The
blood was green, probably from one of the Quurkat traders who’d
transported her on their ship. I hoped they’d sought medical attention.
An’tia was a venom-tipped stabhorn, a rare breed whose horns were coated
in a slow-acting poison. If the injured traders didn’t take the antidote, they’d
be paralysed within three intergalactic hours.
With a snort, An’tia shook her mane, her horn still pointing at my chest.
It was time to retreat and give her some space.
Very slowly, I backed away. My injured leg hurt when I put weight on
it, but I managed to keep from wincing in pain. I’d head to the nearest
medpod as soon as I’d written a report on this first encounter.
An’tia whinnied, but stayed in place as she watched my withdrawal. I
kept eye contact with her to show the stabhorn that I wasn’t prey. I wasn’t
giving up, I was just taking a break. I’d be back and return again and again
until she was ready to trust me.
And then everything happened at once. Someone shouted from behind
me. I stumbled. And An’tia charged.
Blinding pain exploded in my chest. Blue eyes met mine. An’tia’s
triumphant gaze was the last thing I saw before darkness and pain
overwhelmed me.
I floated on a river of golden hair. It swept around me, enveloping me in a
soothing embrace that washed away all memory of pain. I let the river take
me, too weak to resist the steady current. Above me, a blue sky was dappled
