Synopsis
"The
metal horned unicorns are doomed!" That's what Lauda Lead Horn wailed when
she first saw the tribe's new savior. OK, so his horn was not metal. . .and he
did not have a magic power. . .and he was really a puny little runt. But
doomed? Were things really that bad?
Well,
things were pretty bad in the land of MarBryn. Magh, an evil sorcerer utilized
unicorn horns and hooves to create his magical potions and spells. Those he
used, to increase his power and to conquer everyone in his path. All of the
unicorns from the Tribe of the Metal Horn were now gone . . . except for twelve
survivors.
Before
the blue unicorn was born, Numen told Alumna, the aluminum-horned oracle, that
he had a plan to bring the tribe back home to Unimaise. His prophecy to Alumna
was, "Only the blue unicorn can join with the Moon-Star. Until then, no
new unicorns will be born." Blue was the last unicorn born. Twenty years
later, his horn was still covered with a plain blue colored hide. There was not
a glint of metal to be seen on it or his hooves.
Everyone
knew no metal meant no magic.
But Blue
had a mission and he meant to see it through. He was no longer scrawny and he
had his wits. Though no one else in the tribe thought he had a chance of
defeating the evil sorcerer, Blue felt ready to make Magh pay for his evil
deeds. And he went off to do it alone. That was Blue's first mistake. If the
entire tribe was not standing horn-tip to horn-tip at the proper time and the
exact place to help usher the Moon-Star Spirit into Blue's horn, he would die.
Then, the rest of the tribe really would be doomed.
Blue is
joined in his travels by his mentor Gaiso, the Stag and his friend, Girasol the
Firebird as they try to find their way across a danger-filled MarBryn to Muzika
Woods. Will the rest of Blue's tribe reach him before the Moon-Star arrives?
Read this action packed adventure to learn about the blue unicorn's quest to
fulfill his destiny and to save his tribe.
