All Chapters of The Last Unicorn: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

There was a world that existed in a galaxy that thrived and coexisted with magic. It was called Xia. It was lush with plants and filled with animals. A large number of majestic and mystical creatures roamed in this blissful utopia. Among the most treasured were the unicorns, they were guardians of every living thing. Everything was peaceful and just, and evil was not known there, until an evil force entered the galaxy and destroyed everything in its path. The world itself also became a victim to this force; therefore, the once peaceful and beautiful planet turned into a dangerous and barren wasteland. The wise and kind wizard, Yinglong, who helped protect the land, managed to preserve a little bit of the world's beauty and saved most of the creatures. Unfortunately, he was not able to protect the unicorns, but the unicorns' fate was not all lost. The rulers of the unicorns managed to save their only daughter's soul. Her name was Annchi. When the king and queen l

"Are you okay Annchi?" Lanying asked. Annchi nodded. "Sorry Lanying." she replied as she breathed out. "It's not your fault they're creeps. I'll be happy when Wang leaves." "Me too. Lanying, I don't want to go back yet. I know I need to finish my chores, but . . ." "It's okay Annchi. We'll walk for a bit." As the girls walked they looked at their surroundings. They hardly ever saw anything green or alive. It seemed that evil sucked up all that was living. Even during spring and summer hardly anything bloomed. Winter would be approaching soon. Annchi and Lanying knew such places of life existed on Xia. Every now and then a merchant would stop by and let the children and anyone else look at the books he brought and sometimes talked about the places he been to. Time slipped by and before either of the girls knew it, nearly an hour passed. As the two walked along

The next thing they knew, they were someplace else. They stood on a hillside overlooking a valley. Patches of green mixed with dull brown to signify the changing of seasons. In the distance, Annchi and Lanying saw a castle surrounded by houses. "Wow! Where are we?" gasped Lanying. "We are in the Kingdom of Shangdi." replied Yinglong. "It is beautiful." said Annchi. "Where do we go from here?" asked Lanying. "Follow this road we are on," indicated Yinglong, "Then head for Shangdi Castle. The king there is good and will help you get started on your journey." "Yinglong, how do we get into the palace? Surely there will be guards there." "When you reach the gate, just tell the guards there that I sent you to see the king." "But sir, surely you know that the guards are not going to believe that a couple of commoners were se

A servant girl led the girls through the castle. There were suits of armor, tapestries, and other castle potpourri as they went along. Both of them gazed in wonder and soon the servant stopped in front of two separate doors. "All right, this one is yours and this one is yours. Dinner will be served in a little while." the servant told them before leaving the two. Wasting no time, Lanying burst into her room and gasped in surprise. Her room was draped in violets and blues. When she jumped on the humongous four-poster bed, it felt as light as a cloud. The sheets were made of silk. The dressers were all made out of mahogany wood. Lanying decided to get changed. When she opened the closet door, she was amazed to see dresses in her size. How was this possible? Well, little did anyone know, Yinglong visited both rooms and made sure that Annchi and Lanying's clothes would be fitting. During this time, Annchi entered her room. W

"Legend has it," the jester began, "That you need the Crystal of Life in order to find the lost unicorn. In order to find the crystal, you have to find three stones: water, fire, and wood. These stones are found in places of the old world before the Evil One took over. After all three stones are collected, you must place them in the Temple of Buddha. Only then will the Crystal of Life will appear. The crystal will lead you to the unicorn. That's what has been told." After a few more songs, everyone went up to their rooms. While Annchi and Lanying went up to their quarters, they talked about the legend. "I suppose that in order to find the unicorn we need to find those three stones first." guessed Annchi. "Yeah, but how do we find them?" "Well, the jester said that they are found in places of the old world. There are three of them, so it has to be three places that stayed the same after the Invasion.
