Jane stepped forward, sitting beside the unicorn's head. "Riley... Someone cut off its horn," she whispered sadly, stroking the soft fur of the creature's face.

"Not long, probably. It's not dead," Jane sighed. "Poor thing... There's nothing we can really do to help it." She lifted the unicorn's head gently, setting it on her lap.

"We should probably hurry." Riley turned and began to battle through the trees and undergrowth again, attempting to find the outskirts of the forest again.
