genessia | 1st Case File ~ [ Text ] ~ unicorns, otherwise what's the pleasure of crossing a wood

[....Why does that name sound so familiar? She frowns at her phone for a few minutes before responding.]

Bestiary books? ....I hate to state the obvious, but have you tried the library?

[....she can't help it. She sends a second text.]

...They probably have info on both. :P

I am working on different data bases. What city are you looking for information on?

If you're wondering about species of people here then no, it's usually considered rude to ask.

[Speaking of unicorns, here's one now.]

Why would you be looking for unicorn lore?

How the hell does someone get Bestiary and Bestiality mixed up? And why are you looking for unicorn lore anyway?

[Call her suspicious.]

[ Sam sighs at his phone and rubs his face, mostly trying to avoid the inevitable blush. ]

I've read everything the library has to offer.

On unicorns.

Historical, preferably. It's for a collector.
 

So no city in particular.

[ It's not a lie. He's looking for bestiaries for a collector for work. The unicorn part is his own interest. ]

[ While he'd rather text, he accepts the voice message. Next time, he's going to have to be more specific about his reasoning. ]

I met one. She seemed sad and people were to blame. I don't want to dredge up bad memories for her, so I thought I'd do some research to see if I could learn what happened. I can't make up for it, but I can try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[ He actually smiles at that response. It reminds him of Dean. ]

Willfully, usually. And mostly because I'm a research nerd. 
Also, I met a unicorn. She was nice but said people failed her. 
Protecting innocent and good things is why I'm a research nerd.

[She actually snorts before she replies.]

Uh...huh.... I guess maybe Fayren would be the next best place to try? Not sure where though.

A research nerd huh? Then what do you know about Kelpies? There's more than just unicorns here after all.

[Unfortunately, Lily still didn't know how to take human form again, so until then, she was stuck chatting like this.]

You met the white one then? She's the one you speak of?

What if unicorns don't exist in this world?

[Difficult as it may be to discern though text alone, Mai wasn't mocking him in the slightest. She simply wanted the person on the other end of such a specific request to brace himself for the possibility that he might not be able to find what he was looking for.]

(She doesn't know how to write, but she can read. He will be presented with a white muzzle before she steps back.)

Are you trying to learn about me?

[ He rereads his own text and blushes crimson. Shit. ]

That was supposed to be an underline. I swear.
Fayren. Yeah. Thanks for the tip. I'll ask around the bookshops there.

[ Like the one that he works at. Why is he such an idiot? And why does his self-mockery suddenly sound like Dean? ]

[ Sam gets the impression there's more to this than curiosity, and his voice takes on the tone he uses with monster victims. Kind, calm, understanding. ]

Lady Amalthea, she said her name was. I didn't know there were others.

Just her and myself I think. Or so I have heard. But we are of two different kinds. Different worlds and different lifestyles.

Okay but you have to let me know which world you're talking about.

[ That explained a lot. And worried him. ]

Are you somewhere safe?

Let's start with Earth.

[ Because Amalthea didn't say. ]

[ Sam's interest is immediately piqued. ]

Water-horses, or spirits of water who take the form of horses. Scottish derivation. Similar beings in German myth are called nixies. There are others. Rumored to eat human flesh. Also rumored to be helpful. I've never run into one so it's hearsay.

Why would I not be somewhere safe?

[She sounded confused.]

And why would you, a complete stranger be concerned?

[She was honestly starting to feel she was safer here then she had been back home.]

Yeah?

[ She sounded confused, maybe afraid, and he hated that. ]

No reason. It's habit. People contact me when they're in 
danger a lot. That's all. 

And I care for the same reason. It's what I do. Save people

[ His own liberal definition of people, not his brother's. ]

who need help.

I'm just going to let you know that there are several Earths out there but I'll list a few Unicorn legends and you can tell me if that's enough:

- Unicorns are not found in Greek mythology but in the accounts of natural Greek history. The Greeks were convinced of the reality of unicorns, which they believed lived in India, a distant and fabulous realm for them.

- Medieval knowledge of Unicorns stemmed from biblical and ancient sources.

The predecessor of the medieval bestiary, compiled in Late Antiquity and known as Physiologus, popularized an elaborate allegory in which a unicorn, trapped by a maiden (representing the Virgin Mary), stood for the Incarnation. This defined the medieval notions of the unicorn, justifying its appearance in every form of religious art. Some religious writers interpret the unicorn and its death as the Passion of Christ. The myths refer to a beast with one horn that can only be tamed by a virgin; subsequently, some writers translated this into an allegory for Christ's relationship with the Virgin Mary.

From there legends develop of rare beats that can only be approached by a virgin that will kill those who are impure.

- It's open to interpretation.

- In Harry Potter they are a pure beast and their silver blood can prolong someone's life while cursing them.

- I'm pretty sure that there is a Unicorn skeleton found in Germany. These are large creature that are prehistoric and don't look like horses with horns.

It's very likely that unicorns exist here but do not exist in your world. Just as they do not exist in mine.

I do not feel I am in need of help. No one has attempted to hunt me, burn me at a stake, offer me to a dragon, and I am also not currently a captive of a dragon or anyone else so I see no danger.

The only thing I need help with is figuring out how to go back to my human form but you do not seem like you would know the answer when it comes to such a thing.

[A form she missed dearly.]
