Fragments of a Unicorn’s Soul

J.R. Loveless

Content with his life, Elek Keros never questions the ways of the Unicorn. Until one night the sense of something coming awakens him from a deep sleep. He breaks Unicorn law by leaving the enchanted glade his kind lives in to search for what is calling to him. Each night he returns home without answers, but he cannot stop entering the forest day after day to find what he seeks.

The answer lies in a small child Elek rescues. Over the years, he watches over the boy, learns all that he can about the human and steadily falls in love with him. But how can the love he feels possibly breach the divide between their two worlds?

Excerpt

Elek let out a pained whinny, tossing his head in denial of Jonathan’s words. The human male would not be coming back. It struck such pain through his heart that Elek did not understand how to cope with it. What could he say to make Jonathan remain by his side? Please don’t go.

Heart wrenching at the distress in Elek’s voice, Jonathan stifled a small sound and rested his forehead against Elek’s neck. “I can’t stay, Elek. It’s not possible.”

Why? Elek demanded.

“Because my feelings for you aren’t rational! You aren’t human, Elek, and… I can’t do this anymore. All I can think of is you, all I dream of is being here with you. It isn’t possible,” Jonathan cried, squeezing his eyes shut. Today would be their last day together. He returned to school tomorrow.

Desperation rose in Elek. A strange burning sensation started behind Elek’s eyes. Salt stung his nostrils and water welled up, spilling down his muzzle.

Jonathan felt wetness drip onto his neck and he pulled back in surprise. His sapphire gaze widened in shock. “Elek!”

I… love you, Jonathan. Elek keened to him, frantically hoping that Jonathan returned his love.

Jonathan shook his head. “No, Elek. No. You can’t. It’s not possible. Please… don’t.”

Elek struggled to his feet, backing away from Jonathan. He’d put his heart in Jonathan’s hands and the human had rejected him. Despite knowing that their love wasn’t possible, Elek couldn’t stop the hurt spearing deep into his soul.

Jonathan gave him a helpless look. “Elek, please don’t go.”

A shrill cry echoed throughout the trees and Elek spun around, racing away from Jonathan, trying to outrun the pain. But it haunted him, nipping at his hooves like dogs at the paws of a fox. The human did not return his love. Elek didn’t stop running until he’d reached the glade. His head hung down almost to the ground in sorrow, and the normally vibrant spiral horn had dulled to a grayish color.

Review: Elek feels the pull for something… he knows it’s out there and has been searching for it, he’s shocked when he discovers what it is but cannot change how he feels.

This is a lovely take on the Legends and Myths of Unicorn’s bringing them into our modern day with a lovely twist. Elek watches over the human from afar until the day he is followed by the human and they start to get to know each. Jonathon is overjoyed to find the Unicorn from his childhood and is amazed that it can communicate with him, but when he realizes that what he feels for the Unicorn is wrong they part unhappy ways.

I really liked this story and thought that for a short it was quite full with details. Both the Unicorn’s and the human’s feelings are really well done and the longing of the Unicorn is wonderful. I also liked that there is a secret within the Unicorn herd. I really did want more interaction between the two MC’s as there wasn’t much written about but we were given the impression that they spent a lot of time together. I am also really hoping that we will be seeing more of the Unicorns because there is a lot of potential to unearth the true reason behind the secret.

I will recommend this to those who love fantasy, Unicorn’s, a true love story and a happy ever after.
