Peering through the mist that suddenly surrounded them, she felt an odd feeling surge through her. 'What is this? Hmm I think I need to walk away from them while they sleep. I don't want whatever this is to harm them.'
After making sure they were still sound asleep she tip-toed out of the save they had found earlier, unaware of the pair of eyes silently following her in the dark.

Moving as quickly as possible they knew they had to find shelter soon, the woman was heavily pregnant and it was not safe in the forest to deliver. After being chased from their home by a gang of thugs intent on ending their lives, they had no choice but to run and hide.
Among the belongings they managed to take with them, a small jade pendant in the shape of a unicorn strung on a slender gold chain, laid gently on the woman's neck.
