The mother and foal continued to not move. Slowly but surely, the bigger horse stepped out, leading her and her baby outward step by step. There was something about the two humans that assured her that they meant them no harm. It was like there was some sort of connection between them, some unexplainable bond of trust.

But then a tree nearby crashed onto the snowy ground not terribly far away. The mother unicorn's head shot over in that direction. The foal jumped, scared. Then another crash sounded.

Within another moment, the unicorns ran off, back into the forest where they could not be seen.
