> Harmony In One Pony > by Gabrielangel13 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight Sparkle strolled down the streets of Canterlot, her nose in a book. The title was "101 Equestrian Facts to Nock Your Horseshoes Off". "Huh! I thought Celestia was everlasting! Apparently she has only exsisted for about four thousand years!" She muttered to herself. Twilight didn't see the four fillies in front of her until she hit them. It was quite the sight to watch them all hit the ground with the contents of Twilight's saddle bags blowing about. "Watch where you're going you…" the leader of the group paused as Twilight's school ID found itself at her hooves. The mare gasped. "Celestia's personal student! It is an honor! Will you hang out with us today?" "Um... I actually need to get back to studying." Was the shy reply. "Nonsense! I doubt Celestia would kick you out because you spent the day with friends instead of studying!" One of the fillies piped up. "Well…alright." Twilight agreed hesitantly. She looked around anxiously for a reason to get out of "hanging out" with these ponies. "First off, introductions! My name is Jade Sets, this is FireFly, this is Sweet Stuff, and you must be Twilight Sparkle." Jade Sets said. ----------------- Celestia chuckled when Twilight told her of these ponies. They all came from important families, and it was about time that Twilight got friends. -------------------- Several Years Later----------------- "Twilight Sparkle! Come here this instant!" Princess Celestia said with a slight bit of anger in he voice. "Yes, Princess?" Twilight bowed regally before her mentor. "Orange Seed told me that you have been rude to the servants again! Just because you are my student doesn't mean that you can order everypony around! I'm very disappointed in you, Sparkle!" Celestia lectured for the ten millionth time. "But…I thought I was special!" Twilight had mastered whining long ago. It still worked on her sweet teacher. "You are special, Twilight. But I think it's time that you learned a little humility. I've already talked with your parents." "Don't ground me, Princess! Please!" Twilight interrupted. "I have a special assignment for you and Spike. I need you to study friendship. You must send me letters on what you learn." Celestia sighed as her student interrupted her again. "You mean I get to spend time with my friends, and call it studying!" Her eyes lit up happily. "No." Celestia said. She watched as her student deflated. "I'm sending you and Spike to Ponyville to make new friends." "WHAT?!" Twilight looked angry. "But I like it here! You don't have to send me away! I'll be good! I promise!" Celestia turned so Twilight wouldn't see her tears. "Go pack your bags. You leave after I raise the sun tomorrow." Then she walked out of the room and left her student on the verge of tears. Celestia stepped out on to her balcony. "Oh, dear Lulu, I am worried about your return. Twilight is advanced in magic, but I doubt her ability to make good friends in time for your return. I know of no other to bear the last Element. I hope on Mother's mane that I am wrong and that she will succeed." Then the Princess returned to bed, sorrowful after her one-sided conversation with her lost sister. ----------------Cloudsdale, shortly before Rainbow Dash's first Rainboom------ "Fluttershy, Fluttershy, Fluttershy can hardly fly!" Three bullies chanted in unision. "Great job, Cluttershy!" One of them said. Fluttershy looked away from them, tears beginning to stream down her face. She quietly sobbed as the teasing continued. Then, out of the corner of her eye she saw a rainbow streak towards her. It stopped in front of her, revealing Rainbow Dash, the most athletic filly in flight camp. "Leave her alone!" The brash pegusus commanded. "Why, Rainbow Crash?" The bullies asked. "Cause I said so, that's why! And I challenge you to a race!" Rainbow had not but confidence in her voice. The bullies quickly agreed. Less than ten minutes later, Fluttershy found herself on a cloud with a flag in her mouth. Nervously, she started the race. Four fillies rushed past her, knocking her off the cloud. Everypony was too busy watching the race to notice. Just as she accepted death, she hit the ground. It was softer than she had imagined it, and closer than it looked. She looked down and saw several beautiful butterflies holding her up. "Thank you." She whispered. Then a loud sound shattered the near silence she was in. "boom!! All of the animals in the area hid from the loud sound. Fluttershy hit the ground as the butterflies beneath her scattered. "Ow." She said and rubbed her rump where she hit the ground. She then turned to the animals. "Hush…it's alright. Fluttershy's got you." She smiled as she gently coaxed the animals out of hiding. "FLUTTERSHY!" The voice of her father called. Once again, the animals fled in fear. "Daddy?" Fluttershy's father picked her up and carried her home. "Congratulations, Flutters." Her dad said. "What do you mean?" "Your Cutie Mark." Fluttershy turned and squealed in joy at the pink butterflies on her flank. ----------------the next day-------- "Rainbow Dash? I just wanted to say thanks for defending me yesterday." Fluttershy said to the cyan pegusus. "Next time, defend yourself, weakling! Cause I sure ain't doin' for ya!" She snapped. "I'm sorry!" Fluttershy flew home as fast as her wings could take her, tears streamed down her cheeks the whole time. > Spitfire Breaks Through > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ugh, Spike! Scoot over! You're in my personal space!" Twilight whined. "There's half of the chariot between us!" Spike retorted. "I said stay in your corner!" Twilight Sparkle snapped angrily. Spike had never been so happy to have a trip end before. As the pair exited the chariot, Twilight walked towards town hall. "Thank, gents." The baby dragon thanked the drivers. He gave them a generous tip of twenty bits for putting up with his guardian. "Hurry up, Spike!" Twilight shouted. He quickly sprinted to catch up. "Town hall. Surely this is where I'll be staying!" Twilight said and pranced into the building. She was quickly directed to the abandon ex library, however. This left her in an awful mood and she spent the night yelling at Spike for not cleaning exactly the way she wanted it cleaned. -----------on the train to Ponyville------------- "Ms. Stone? Why do I have to go to Ponyille?" A small filly asked. "Because nopony in Manehatten wants to adopt a freak like you!" Ms. Stone Heart responded to the pegusus. She was this filly' caseworker, and she hated Jewel Wing with all her hard heart. Jewel Wing was different than most, and she couldn't ever keep her wings hidden long enough for the adoption to go through. The filly beside her groaned in frustration. "But nopony will want me here either!" She whined. "I have a new spell. It will hide your freakiness." She replied. In their private coach, nopony would see the spell cast. Stone Heart lit her horn and little Jewel wing shook from the force of magic. Slowly her coat changed colors, and her wings turned the same shade if red. Stone Heart quickly collapsed. "Stone Heart!" The filly shrieked in fear. She sighed in relief as the unicorn pulled herself to her hooves. "PONYVILLE STATION" a voice boomed over the loud speakers. "Just in time, too. Tomorrow is the Summer Sun Celebration, and some pony there will adopt you! I'm sure if it!" The mare said. "Great." Jewel Wing thought and rolled her eyes. But she followed the mare nonetheless. -----------WonderBolt practice----------- Spitfire was pushing her limits. Today was another exercise on speed. The Captain had really been pushing them lately, intent on making them break the sound barrier. But as of yet, the Capt. Was the only one to successfully do it. Spitfire gave herself some more speed. She hardly noticed as Soarin' and Fleetfoot, her training partners for the day, were left behind. She pushed harder and harder. She felt as if her skin was peeling off her body, the wind hit her so fast. Still, she would not slow. The Captain wouldn't have approved. Spitfire's wings began to cramp from the physical exertion. With a final burst of energy, Spitfire felt as if a barrier moved from around her. She shot forward faster, a loud boom was heard and her aching muscles forgotten. "I did it!" She thought, "I actually broke through the sound barrier!" She let out a joyous cheer. She looked back and saw what appeared to be a trail of fire flowing behind her. Suddenly, a streak of rainbow flew past her, leaving its own colors behind it. A cyan pegusus flapped her wings and slowed to a pace to match Spitfire. "What's that shout about, Lieutenant?" She called. "I broke the sound barrier, Capt.!" She shouted back. Her trail began dying out and she once again felt a wall press against her. That's when the cramping feeling returned. With a cry of pain, her wing tensed and she fell to the ground. She tried desperately to catch herself, but failed. She landed painfully in a stack of hay. "Ow." She muttered as she pulled herself from the haystack. "You broke the sound barrier, whoopee do." Captain Rainbow Dash said sarcastically. "But, isn't that what you told us to do?" Spitfire asked. "I wanted a Sonic Rainboom from you! You only broke into the one-color spectrum! You couldn't even reach the Rainbow Spectrum, and that was your best? Come on, Lieutenant! Pick up your game!" She criticized and flew off. Fleet Foot and Soarin' got to hear the last few sentences of that conversation. "Wow, Spits! That was AWESOME!" Fleetfoot congratulated. "Well cap sure didn't think so." Spitfire muttered. Soarin sighed. She was always trying to impress Rainbow Dash, but she never did. "WONDERBOLTS! MEETING! NOW!" Rainbow Dash shouted. The three didn't argue as they flew towards the meeting house, Spitfires wings finally uncramped. > Blueblood the Super Pony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As ponies gathered for Celestia to raise the sun, one pony in particular watched the crowd expectantly. Whenever there was a large crowd, there was sure to be trouble. At least, that's what Super Prince Awesome thought. His secret identity had been through a lot. He had to put up with annoying, uncivilized ponies all day, and he was always seeing crime. This time, he was ready for whatever would strike. ---------down in the crowd---------- Jewel Wing fidgeted as she waited for the revealing of the Princess. Just then, she felt some pony hit her. "Hey! Watch where you're going!" A lavender unicorn snorted angrily. "WHAT! You bumped into me!" Jewel defended herself. "Arguing with me? Don't you know who I am?" She said angrily. "No idea." The filly was really getting mad. "I am Twilight Sparkle! Personal student of Princess Celestia!" "Oh…I see! I thought you looked a bit stupid! I takes Celestia to teach you anything!" Jewel Wing replied. "Why you little…" Twilight began. A white unicorn cut her off, however. "You're Princess Celestia's protege! I've heard so much about you! You must come stand with me, not with these filthy country folk." She said and almost dragged Twilight and her dragon with her. "Wow! Some ponies!" Jewel Wing exclaimed. "Behave yourself if you want to be adopted, dear." Stone Heart said wih a hint of agitation. "And it is my pleasure to present to you the one, the only, Princess Celestia!" Mayor Mare said. Up above, Spitfire and Rainbow Dash broke through the sound barrier and drew a sun while the other WonderBolts did flips. Cheers flew up from the crowds below. All cheers stopped short as the curtain was pulled back. On the balcony, instead of one Alicorn, stood two. They were deep in a battle. "Princess!" A voice from the crowd screamed. Celestia was worn down and bloody. She kept flickering as if she was going to dissappear from existence. "Can you feel it, Celestia? My moon destroying your sun? Soon it will be in a permanent eclipse! The night will last forever!" The dark Alicorn laughed evilly. Celestia's gaze swept over the crowd. She let it linger on Twilight for a moment. Jewel Wing gasped as she stared at her. "I'm sorry, my little pony. This fate should not have befallen you." Celestia's voice said in Jewel Wing's head. Then the Princess spoke to the crowd. " I am sorry, my little ponies. And I am sorry, sister, but I must defend my sun." "Luna is no more! I am not your sister!" The dark Alicorn growled. "FOR EQUESTRIA!" A cry broke out. A stallion known as Super Prince Awesome (or SPA) swung down towards the balcony. He watched in shock as Celestia turned gold and disappeared. "Huh! I guess if aunt Celestia couldn't beat her than neither can I!" SPA thought. As he hit the floor and galloped away. He teleported himself to a mansion in Canterlot. Blueblood pulled off his mask and sighed. "Prancer! Get me some tea!" He ordered his maid. ----------- back at the Summer Sun Celebration ------------ "My little ponies! Why are you not rejoicing? Your princess has returned!" The evil creature snarled. "Spitfire! Stop!" Rainbow Dash yelled at the first lieutenant. She paid him no heed, however as she broke the sound barrier while flying towards the balcony. "FOR CELESTIA!" She shouted. Suddenly, the Alicorn's mane flew out and smacked her to the ground. "You fool! No ordinary pony can beat me! I am Nightmare Moon!" She shouted at the injured WonderBolt. "run, filly, run!" a voice echoed in Jewel Wing's head. Nightmare Moon suddenly focused her gaze on the pegusus. "You! You're the one Celestia chose? She even is keeping mental contact with you? She truly was blind! Now you must die." She said. Jewel Wing needed no more encouragement to run as explosion after explosion echoed behind her. > The Return of Princess Luna and Jewel Wing's surprise > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jewel Wing ran and ran. She entered the Everfree Forest, and yet continued on. "you can stop and catch your breath now, my little pony." the voice said. "I can't believe I'm hearing voices!" Jewel Wing thought out loud. She talked to get self when nopony else was around quiet often. She heard a light chuckle. "trust me, filly. You aren't going crazy. My name is Princess Celestia. You don't have long so just let me explain. 1 thousand years ago, two Alicorn princesses ruled together in Harmony. One was Princess Luna, the other was her sister, me. I brought the day and she brought the night. Eventually she grew jealous of my day. Her jealousy grew deeper and darker until it consumed her. She transformed into that monster that you saw earlier. She attacked me and I was forced to use the Elements of Harmony against her. The result was banishing her to the moon for a thousand years. Now she's back and she plans to bring eternal night. I would have stayed to battle her, but I must protect my sun. If her moon eclipses it too long, I and my sun shall simply disappear. Fate has decided that you should be Equestria's savior. I left a mental link open with you so that I can guide you. You must go to my old castle and retrieve the Elements of Harmony. Use them to free my sister, and I will return." "But what about your student? Surely she could do this better than I could!" Jewel Wing protested. "I thought she would be the one to bear the Elements as well. When I first met her, I felt a strange…sensation. I fly the Elements loosen from my grasp. Several years later I lost all control of them. I suspect that it may have been your birthday. I need you to move now. Nightmare Moon can't see through the spell cast on you, but talking to me sends out what appears to be a golden light to her. Only call on me if it is necessary, little one." "But…" "GO!" The command startled Jewel Wing, and she obeyed. She ran as fast as she could. Finally, she saw the ruins of a castle. "FOOL! THOU HAST FAILED! CELESTIA WAS FOOLISH IN CHOOSING AN EVERYDAY FOAL TO TAKE THE ELEMENTS! NOW THOU SHALT DIE!" The ground shook under the force of Nightmare Moon's voice. "No! I will not fail Equestria! I won't fail Celestia or Luna either! And I'm not an average pegusus!" Jewel Wing shouted back. "WHAT?! NO! THOU CANST ROUSE THEM! I CAN'T LOSE!" Nightmare shouted. Six stones blasts through a wall and started floating around Jewel Wing. Nightmare Moon fell from the sky in fear. Jewel Wing felt a light surround her. She watched as her disguise was stripped away, leaving her in her true form. Her coat was not one color, but all the colors at the same time. Her mane and tail always appeared to be the opposite of her coat, but her wings were even more amazing. Instead of plain feathers, some of the feathers were replaced with gems that bent easily, as if the were actual feathers. Jewel Wings eyes were white from the elements of Harmony. In a desperate attempt to escape, Nightmare Moon teleported to Ponyville. To her dismay, Jewel Wing appeared just a few feet away. "MY NAME IS JEWEL WING! I BEAR THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY, AND I BANISH YOU, NIGHTMARE MOON, AND RETURN PRINCESS CELESTIA AND PRINCESS LUNA!" Her voice was amplified several times as she said this. The Elements' rainbow struck Nightmare Moon. A bright flash blinded everypony, and when they could see again, they were shocked. Where Nightmare Moon had been now laid a dark blue Alicorn, and holding her was Princess Celestia. "Princess! Get away from that monster, and I'll teach her a lesson for messing with you!" Spitfire snorted. "I appreciate your loyalty, Spitfire, but Nightmare Moon is gone. I present to you Princes Luna! My a sister and rightful ruler of the night." Celestia said with pride in her voice. Luna awoke to the sound of cheering. She was completely baffled about why. Then she noticed dark blue and black armor shattered around herself. The third thing she noticed was being held by her sister. "I'm sorry." She choked out before she burst into tears. "Hush, Lulu. That is all in the past. Listen, they are cheering for their long-lost princess." Celestia said. Luna blushed and half hid behind Celestia's wing. Then she noticed a filly laying on the ground with the Elements of Harmony strewn around her. "Tis this the filly that saved us?" Luna asked. Celestia nodded before moving towards the motionless form. "Jewel Wing? Can you hear me?" Celestia said cautiously. She was frightened by the thought that she may have been responsible for this pony's death. "Princess Luna?" She asked tiredly. "She's safe, thanks to you." Celestia replied, quite relieved. "Princess Celestia, I don't feel so great." Jewel Wing said as she looked at their monarch. "That's because you just used an amazing amount of magic. For the first time, your reaction to magic was quite amazing." Celestia looked curiously at the filly that had now moved to a sitting position. "Princess, I'm a freak." Jewel Wing stated while tears rolled down her cheeks. "No. Not a freak. Your appearance doesn't make you a freak! You look quite beautiful." Luna spoke up. "That's not what makes me a freak." Jewel sighed as she prepared to show just how different she was. "This is why." The ponies stared in shock as the jewels in her wings glowed, and several pebbles floated off of the road. "Oh my…" was all Celestia could say. > You're special > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh Jewel Wing, you're not a freak." Celestia said after recovering from the shock. "If it wasn't for your abilities, you wouldn't have been able to save me and my sister. Your magic is what let you use the Element of Magic. No other pegusus can use that Element." "Princess Celestia, my name is Ms. Stone Heart." The mare said with a bow. "I am this filly's caseworker. I was hoping that you would be interested in adopting her." Celestia shook her head. "I may be a princess, but I am no mother. The castle is no place for a filly, believe me: I know. Perhaps somepony here would like to adopt." "I will!" A cheery voice called. A white unicorn with a purple mane trotted over. "My name is Rarity. My sister, Sweetie Belle, and I would love to take in Jewel Wing." "Thank you, Rarity." Celestia said. "Come along, dear! We need to get you settled." Rarity called. "Wait! Princess, what about the Elements of Harmony?" Jewel Wig asked. Celestia stared at the six stones for a moment. "That's odd, I thought for sure that they would…" whatever the princess was going to say was cut off by a bright flash from the Elements. A streak of light hit Jewel Wing, and she passed out. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A large tree stood in an underground location. Jewel Wing looked around fearfully. "Hello? Is anypony there? Where am I?" She called out. "Do not be afraid, Jewel Wing." The filly looked back to the tree and saw a silver pony apear from behind it. "What is that tree?" Jewel asked. "This is the Tree of Harmony. You're dreaming right now, Jewel Wing. I don't really exist, but the Tree does. Something has been attacking the Tree for years. Discord can stop it, or you will have to sacrifice the Elements of Harmony. The Tree chose you, Jewel Wing, and it doesn't want the Elements back. You must convince Celestia to free Discord." "Why me?" Jewel Wing asked. "Because of your heart, filly. Remember, if the regalia fits, wear it." The pony responded with a laugh that wonder like bells. "What?" Jewel Wing asked, but it was too late, and she woke up. ---------------------------------------------------------- Jewel Wing tried to shove herself back into the dream, but failed. She felt a hoof caressing her mane. Jewel opened her eyes to find the princess's hoof running through her mane. "Those things hate me." Jewel Wing joked. "Glad to see you woke up." Celestia replied. Jewel Wing looked to the six stones laying on the ground. They began to glow again. Jewel Wing shrieked and hid behind Celestia, bringing giggles from everypony. Jewel peeked from behind the Princess. Instead of six stones, a necklace resembling Celestia's, and a tiara lay on the ground. The necklace was smaller than Celestia's, and it had five gems in it. The tiara had one gem in it. The gem was shaped like pegusi wings with the magic star where they touched. "If the regalia fits, wear it." Jewel muttered under her breath. "Did you say something, Jewel Wing?" Celestia asked Jewel shook her head. "Princess, if it's alright with Rarity, can we talk privately?" Celestia looked to Rarity. The unicorn hesitated, then nodded. "Sister, if tis alright, we would appreciate rest. Could some guards take us to our new castle?" Luna asked. "Of course, sister. I'll come join you soon." Celestia replied. Twilight Sparkle stepped forward. "We can go to my library, Celestia." "Thank you, Twilight." Celestia said, and the trio walked off, Celestia levitating the tiara and necklace behind them. Approximately 1.5 minutes later they reached the library. "See Celestia! I told you: this place isn't fitting!" Twilight complained. "Twilight Sparkle, we have more important things to discuss than your housing conditions." Celestia chided gently. "What is it, Jewel Wing?" "Princess, I need you to promise me something." Jewel began. "What is it?" The princess responded. "I need you to promise not to think I'm crazy." The filly said. The Alicorn chuckled and nodded. "Princess, when the Elements hit me, I ha a dream. I saw the Tree of Harmony." Celestia paled, but did not interrupt. "A silver mare talked with me, and told me that the Tree is being attacked. We have one year to stop it, but only one pony can." "Who?" Celestia asked hastily. "Discord. He must be freed from his prison." Jewel Wing quickly covered her ears. The temperature in the room increased by about twelve degrees. "WHAT?!" > Chapter 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Celestia, please, I know that it's asking a lot. She told me that it had to be done! We need Discord!" Jewel Wing begged the large Alicorn. "that'r ridiculous! Discord is one of the biggest threats that Equestria ever faced!" Twilight said smugly. "If you want to free one of the biggest threats to Equestria, than maybe you aren't worthy of the Elements!" "Quiet, Twilight." Ceslestia scolded. "though I don't approve with Twilight's last sentence, or her attitude, she has a valid point. I cannot allow Discord to be unleashed on Equestria again." "Celestia, I'm not asking permission. I will free him." Jewel said with defiance. "I will not let you." Celestia said with a dangerous edge in her voice. "I must save the Tree! You can help me, or get out of the way." Jewel had no clue why she was acting this way. "Because I need you." a voice echoed in Jewel Wing's head. "It is expected for anypony who wields my Elements alone to feel their protectiveness of me." "I will stop you." Celestia warned. "How? I wield the Elements!" Jewel Wing said rebelliously. "I'll take them from you!" Twilight declared and dived for where Celestia had placed them. What happened next couldn't be expcted by even the wisest of ponies. The Elements of Harmony seemed to sense that somepony else was trying to take them. a bright flash of light blinded the ponies temporarily, and several guards burst in. lightning from the Elements shot everywhere, shocking those that were unfortunate enough to get hit. "what's happening?" Jewel cried out mentally. "The Elements sensed something trying to stop me from being saved. They struck the guards, but they are about to attack Celestia. This is why it is dangerous for only one pony to wield the Elements, it makes them hard to control. Now is the time for you to test your ownership over them. Hurry!' Jewel recognized the Tree in her head. The filly rushed to where the Elements of Harmony lay shouting out electricity. The bolts didn't seem to even touch her. she quickly put them on. 'DESTROY THEM! SAVE THE TREE!' Jewel felt the Elements shout at her. "No! I won't let you! STOP!" Jewel pleaded. she felt as if something was pushing against her resistance, and she poured all she had into stopping them. slowly, they quit glowing, and the angry feeling left Jewel Wing's mind. Jewel felt her legs go limp and she hit the ground with a thud. The irrational need to save the tree had left her, and she could not feel its presence in her mind. "Celestia, I'm sorry. The Elements of Harmony were changing my emotions in their need to save the Tree. I don't know why they stopped. I'm so sorry." Tears had begun to flow down the filly's cheeks. "It's alright, filly. I had forgotten what happened when one wielded the Element's alone. I did it once myself, and I am glad that they were never necessary during Luna's absence. You have shown that you truly are a master of Harmony, if you were able to stop them from destroying somepony they thought threatened the Tree of Harmony." the great alicorn said after a moment. She leaned down to examine the guards that were hurt while she continued. "I will have to consult with my sister before I can allow you to free one of our greatest foes. I can see that you would be able to handle yourself, though." "Are they alright?" Jewel asked. "The guards will be fine. Rarity will be wondering where you are." The princess said, indicating the filly's dismissal. "WHAT? Princess Celestia, this filly tried to kill you!" Twilight said wit shock. "you can't just let her go!" Jewel hung her head shamefully. Celestia spoke with a slight hint of disappointment in her voice. "Twilight Sparkle, Jewel Wing saved my life. And even she had tried to kill me, I could let her go if I wanted to. You have no say in whom I do or do not pardon." "Yes, Princess." it was Twilight's turn to hang her head. "Jewel Wing, run along. I need to have a conversation with my pupil." Celestia said. "Y-Yes ma'am." Jewel Wing stuttered and nearly galloped out the door. she stopped and placed the Element's by the door. "Jewel, take them with you." Celestia ordered without turning. The pegusus grabbed them and ran. She did not want to hear what the alicorn said to the unicorn.
