"You had her from the start, you understand. From first sight. Her running away was the start of the
play. I don't think you realised any of
the truths involved, so intent were you on stealing her away. Of trying to gain what you were after without
seeking to find what she wanted and trying to meet halfway.
“The clearing, for instance, always being under your
power. Perhaps not always entirely, I
regret we cannot help if you go underground too far. But it did move itself for you, was always in
an appropriate state for what you had planned and was always as fresh as you
required.
"This forest was never meant for humans. Or not humans alone. Of course we don't, cannot for fear of our
own safety, stop such as yourself from entering. Often we scare away ne'er-do-wells, often we
don't need to. Only a few, though, are
afforded such privileges as you received.
The first time you went too far we let it slide. When you entered the cave we thought it would
soon end, that you would go too far in a different way. But you only stopped and slept. We decided to remove you and let the unicorn play
on.
"Since then, however, you have overstepped the mark
more and more. The kidnap is where we
should have ended it, we can see that now.
Your use of black magic, or such, the complete crushing of her
spirit. Since then, though, we have seen
nought but constant abuse climaxing and ending today. When and where I am seen is where it ends.
"You must leave, unicorn hunter. Say your goodbyes for you will not return
here again. If you do you will not see
this unicorn or find this clearing, I guarantee. And as for the cave. It shall be closed.
"Look for something else to fill your life with. Open your eyes and I am sure it won't take
too long.
“Now, though, you must bid us farewell."
